Nope, Cash, a 16" laptop. It's my main machine, so I didn't want a netbook.
The touchpad was a learning curve for someone used to the Thinkpad's little red nipple, but I got the hang of it pretty quick. It's got loads and loads of memory, too.
Well, lady, I must say-- You're my kinda stupid.

OMGcommunitymeetingcrazy. People I am glad I am not: city contractor rep for the wastewater project that just got sprung on the neighborhood (gee, sound familiar?) that involves a lot of demolition right next to a high school and who could not commit to not using one particular street for truck traffic. For a project that end to end is 4 year. Whee.
We had 2 lt. cols., our district commander person and our 2 plainsclothes neighborhood cops, who got loved on a lot, and invited themselves to several citizen foot patrol meetings coming up. Of course, we had Mary Pat, council rep and I was able to introduce myself and get a pile of fliers to raise funds for our local firehouse to hang at work.
Plus a free cloth 2010 Census bag.
I've got to say, Mary Pat is a total steamroller for her citizenry. City contractor dude was distinctly unhappy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking of the census, Boston is hilarious. On the subway platform, there was a special announcement about how if you're a student, you should still tell the census that you live here.

I'm so glad to find I'm not the only one bummed about getting the short form.

Me too! I'm pretty sure I got the long form last time, but only the short form this time.

I sent mine off today. I thought I read somewhere there is no long form this year. But haven't verified that.

Mind you, our mail lady shoves shit in the boxes basically at random (I got three of the "you'll get your census soon" notices) so there's every chance I'll have some more to fill out.

That's excepting the periods every year or so when she decides our totally standard mailboxes are "dangerous" and delivers no mail at all for a month or so.

Here it is: [link] No long form.

I'm pretty sure I got the long form last time, but only the short form this time.
Me too. Disappointing, even if there is no long form. Because I am irrational that way.
