Yay ita! What great news to wake up to!
I've got my Holiday Shipping Coordinator interview at 2 PM today, so a small amount of temporary-job-ma would be welcomed here. Also would like this sinus headache to go away, while you're at it.
I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

I turned on my heat last night! Could have survived without, but it's better to try out the furnace NOW instead of waiting for a 0F weekend night.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I like a warm house, even in summer. keep it at 77/78. last night when I went to bed it was at 68 and it probably got colder than that. the heat has been turned on in the building, but I think it is set to come on around 5-6am and then again in the day and early evening. It is much harder to keep the place at a temp in the winter than it is during summer with the window units. no insullation in the exterior walls and no control over the radiator cycles.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Depending on your city/state laws, your landlord may be able to keep the heat lower overnight. So if your landlord has a programmable thermostat, s/he might take advantage of that.

I like a cold house. But I had to close one of the few open windows this morning...it was just too cold.

Ted Williams' Severed Head Abused In Cryonics Facility: Former Exec
NEW YORK — The New York Daily News is reporting that Red Sox Hall of Famer Ted Williams' severed head was mistreated at an Arizona cryonics facility, according to details from a new book.
In "Frozen," Larry Johnson, a former executive at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Ariz., writes that Williams' head, which had been severed and frozen for storage, was abused at the facility. Johnson claims a technician took baseball-like swings at Williams' frozen head with a monkey wrench.
Williams, the last player to hit over .400 in a season, died in 2002 at age 83 and had his remains sent to Alcor for cryogenic storage in the hope that future generations would develop the technology to revive him.
