Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh ita. I wish I had a job lead for you.

To go back to Aurelia's question from last night, it looks like NBC won't make/announce it's decision on Chuck (or Life) until 5/19

Life is apparently canceled. Boo!

Could someone here do me a favour and get me a job as a technical project manager or a business analyst or combination thereof in the Greater LA area? I work hard and flexibly.

oh ita. I might be able to find you one in NS, but I think that even the summers are too cold for you here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, ita. Looking for a job right now must be a nightmare.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

ita-- I wish I had a job for you... but even if I did it would be in upstate ny.

My boss had to leave tomeet her daughter, who is uninsured and peeing blood, at the emergency room in Albany. Now I think I am going to have to take my cat to the vets ASAP because she is having trouble peeing. I don't even know who to call in to or who could cover for me.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

We have both Red Robin and Fudruckers around Durham, NC. I like the Red Robin better than Fudruckers, and the burgers at a couple of small, Carrboro restaurants better than either.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Boomer's in Bellingham has fantastic burgers. Just sayin.

ita, dammit. I'd give anything for an adequate job for the moment to appear for you. This sucks so hard.

I would have liked to see that first treatment--that seemed the organic way for the storyline to go. I have heard that Weatherly and Alba were being diva-ish about producing and the storyline, and that at one point it had gone so far Weatherly was counting lines in the script to make sure Alec didn't have more than Logan. Couldn't have been a happy set to work on.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Hmm. Well of course chains are not going to match local places (or sometimes small chains that still have local roots.)

Incidentally, everywhere I've ever lived the best onion rings and fries in town were always at some local bar. (That applies here in Olympia took where the best fries in town are at the Iron Rabbit.) I wonder if there is something about bars where the demand for fries is just at the right scale.

Most opiates make me wide awake. Cheerful, but awake. The sum total of drugs that make me sleepy = Ambien.

Winsteads in Kansas is a chain

Calvin Trillin has written at some length about the glories of Winstead's in Kansas City.

Fuddruckers exists here and in NC.

ita, hope something come in soon.

I got my first mortgage invoice. Have to call to set up auto withdrawl. Whee!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Mixed bag Monday.

Good news: I didn't get fired today.

Bad news: No annual company bonuses next month.

Good news: I just saw the first hummingbird of the season at my feeder.

Good/bad news: the new construction just up the road is going to be a Chick-fil-a. Come July my waistline and my budget are doooooooomed.

eta: Winstead's is no big whoop.
