I just got a Facebook friend request from a friend of my grandmother's. (Who I've also known my entire life.) Adorable!
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Facebook interface defeats me. Well, confounds me. Are there Facebook filters? Can you filter posts for friends of your grandmother's? Or restrain your post content to grandmotherly-friendly things?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
No landing in the Hudson if you can avoid it, okay Tom?

Yes, you can filter facebook. But it's not as easy to fine-grain as LJ; it's more like whole categories of things can be shown or not shown to groups you define.
I found a web site where you can look up the salary of any state employee in Georgia. So now I know what all my coworkers, and neighbors and acquaintances who work for the Uggaversity, make. Weird. The salary distribution is weird, too - almost everybody makes less than 40K or more than 80K.

Both, I think, but I've never bothered to really investigate the privacy settings.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, I'll be Steph...You Suck!
Dude, you've got Scola on tap all year long and we suck because we snoodle him up for one 3-day weekend? Have you no shame, no decency, madam?
First World Whine: Combing through various local-parent search engines for San Francisco preschools and seeing both the tuition rates and the length of the waiting lists is turning me into a gnarled little stressball.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Need sleep. Will I get to catch up over the long weekend? I'm not going to count on it...

That plane crash thing was so weird because right about at the same time it was happening we got word that a colleague in our Mexico City office just died from burns/injuries he received when a small plane crashed into our offices there in November. He spent about two weeks with my department around this time last year and was such a sweet kid.
