I kinda expect an Obamacam, where I can put him in the corner of my browser window and, you know, watch democracy happen. Like puppycam, but with leadership.

"What's he doing? Is he dead?"

"He's just sleeping."

"Awww...what a cute widdle weader of the fwee wowld. Yes, he is. Yes, he *is*."

"I think you mean 'Yes, we can.'"

I am scared of squirrels. A friend of mine got attacked by one (he had to go through rabies shots) and I've been approached by aggressive ones. Icky little creatures.

Ack. Black Wednesday here. A whole bunch of layoffs are taking place. Because of the kind of data we work with, people are getting pulled to HR individually and escorted out after they clean up their desks. This is bad. I think I'm OK in terms of not being cut, but the atmosphere around here is going to be awful (and the volume of work is about to go up considerably).

Oh, ugh, Frank, that's stomach-churning for everyone.

Man, layoffs are everywhere. Good luck, Frank.

What's funny about the technology generation is that with all the incessant coverage of the campaign and festivities for the past years, I kinda expect an Obamacam, where I can put him in the corner of my browser window and, you know, watch democracy happen. Like puppycam, but with leadership.

Good one!

The pictures from the inauguration from people I know are KILLING ME. It turns out I know some fancy people!

Oh, ugh, Frank, that's stomach-churning for everyone.

That describes how I'm feeling perfectly. The adrenaline rush from the dread is not helping.

Shit, Frank. That sucks. I've heard rumors that we're heading into another round in February. Yay.

ION, I just told my minion how old I am, she was STUNNED. She said I look very good for my age.

Frank, I am so sorry. I hope you are safe.

Apparently, CNN took this headline down after only a few minutes....
