You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Oh, Microsoft Outlook, how I hate you so.

One of us, gooble-gobble

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

more than Lotes Notes?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I've never had the misfortune of having to use Lotus Notes. Outlook, on the other hand, impedes my ability to do work in a hundred tiny ways every day.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

A year and change ago I was hired at this firm temp-to-perm. I'm still temp-to-perm.

And I've survived two lay-offs.

Last week, however, they told me they'll be doing another staff cut.

And I just got an email from HR to stop by at the end of the day.

Soo.... I'm looking at a very long hour and a half and then probably bye-bye job. I assume they've already told the agency and I'm in line for work next week with them? Who knows.

Just spoke to two people who would be references. Getting together some e-mails. Pretty sure I have this month's rent covered. Should NOT have gotten sushi for lunch today and I blame y'all for that.

Oh shit, Trudy. I hope the news isn't what you expect it to me. Lots of job~ma.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Kevin Pereira of G4’s Attack of the Show solicited contributors to a Keyboard Cat-themed art show and auction.

Oh, they showed some of those on the show; they were really cool!

Grah, Trudy, I'm sorry. I hope you're wrong.

Thanks, Gud. I'm pretty sure it is.

I don't know how/if I can collect unemployment if the agency can't get work for me. (NY, it seems, continues to spiral. We never really recovered from 2001 I think before the latest hit.)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Shit, Trudy. Fingers crossed that, um, there's some other reason you've been asked to come in? I don't know what that would be but I'm sure there's something.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Ah, hell, Trudes. Safe landing and good luck to you.
