Speaking of money, I just got an e-mail from our HR department announcing that everyone will be getting a 6% profit-sharing contribution from the company. Considering that, a few years back when the market was in much better shape but we had a not-so-good year, they only gave us 3%, I'm rather pleased by this.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's great, Kathy. A coworker just forwarded me an email that Macy's is cutting 7K jobs. Ugh.

We have had several layoffs here in the past year, and our department's position is still iffy from month to month, so that 401(k) deposit is only a partial happy-making event. I'd be happier with a more definite "We will not lay anyone off this year" announcement, but that ain't gonna happen.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
All I really know is that she's against gay rights, is pro-life, and is pro-drilling in ANWAR. She talks about government getting out of the way, but what does that mean in terms of policy? She's all about generalities
I think it means most Republicans would rather their party be young and HAWT instead of old and out of touch. Policy's got nothing to do with it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Man accused of drunken horse riding in snowstorm
CODY, Wyo. – A man has been cited for public intoxication while riding a white horse during a snowstorm in the northern Wyoming town of Cody.
Police say they cited 28-year-old Benjamin Daniels after they received a call Sunday afternoon from a motorist concerned that a man was creating a road hazard by riding his horse on a street in conditions with poor visibility.
Cody Assistant Police Chief George Menig says officers noticed Daniels was intoxicated after they stopped him to explain that drivers were having difficulty spotting his slow-moving white horse.
Menig said Thursday that Daniels was detained Sunday and released the following day. He will go before a municipal judge later.
A friend of Daniels picked up the horse.

Damn. Is there any way to save that video file? I'd really like to share it with my students without streaming it (which I'm not supposed to do).
Okay, it doesn't have anything to do with my class. But who doesn't love tiger cubs?
