So the bureaucrazy at UAB is so bad that despite getting all his paperwork in back in December, my brother has not yet gotten a paycheck. And may not for another month. And the insurance enrollment hasn't processed. The fuck? I'd be littering the streets with bodies. For all I know, he may be running a scorched earth campaign, but still. That's nuts. And evil to do to a new, poor postdoc.
Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

Oh, my. Maddow's interviewing Blagojevich right now, and she's looked on the verge of breaking down laughing repeatedly. I can't blame her, I'm giggling at his invocation of Mother Theresa myself.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I sort of wish everyone would deny Blago the forum he seeks. OTOH, he's doing a fair job of turning himself into a parody in those forums. He's crackers.

I hope they do it per Lucy holding the ball for Charlie Brown.
Aaand, I think I just convinced myself to refer to Blagojevich hereafter as "The Great Pumpkin".

My company's new policy is that the office is closed if B'more City schools are closed. It makes listening to the school closings exciting again!

Oooh, lisah, you got screwed today! (Just about everyone but City schools was closed.)
My work is determined by the head of facilities. Who has 4WD. Which I point out to him everytime I slide on our slalom of a road on a fucking liberal leave day. I loved pointing that out to him the day there were 3 totalling accidents and a high level person fell on the steps and blew her knee. We haven't had a day like that since, so we'll see how he does. He's one of those macho bastards. Jerk wasn't inclined to close the place when we lost a/c and were having brownouts and were straining the UPS. The director shut us down.
