farm workers are teaming up with comedian Stephen Colbert to challenge unemployed Americans: Come on, take our jobs.

I know I'm not the one that this is directed at, but I went and picked 12 lbs of strawberries on a mildly hot and humid day. It took about an hour and I had adequate water, an iPod, and health care.

I could never, ever do it for a living. Ever. It's hard fucking work.

I have a very important question. Why, when I accept all changes on a Word document, uncheck all the ticky boxes, save and close, and then when I open it, the changes are back. WTF WORD!?!

Hell, for Perkins - bacon camp.

I scored 96% on my exam. I told that test to SUCK IT.

Yay, shrift!!

Woo-hoo! Just used my google fu to answer the above Word question. Within 30 seconds I had a solution that worked and boss lady's admiration!

Me: Can I try the vichyssoise?

Girl Behind Soup Counter: [blank stare]

Me: Can I try the vichyssoise?

Girl: The what?

Me: The cold one.

Girl: Oh!

The cold one.

A one that is not cold is hardly a one at all.

I just ordered a potato-bacon pizza for dinner. I'm not sure what's become of me.

You have a taste for awesomeness?

From waaaaaaaay back (like, the very first of the 500ish posts I just caught up on):

OMG! New Orleans! I live there! I am not sure what our deal is, we might be going to Baton Rouge for a day or two, but let me know if you continue to have problems finding a place to stay- we have a queen sized air mattress here (also 2 cats)

Woohoo New Orleans! We lucked out and found a room at a B&B, but thank you so much for the offer! Also, I'd love to get together for a drink or something if you & Tom will be around. We'll be arriving Friday evening and leaving Monday afternoon. I know we'll be spending a fair amount of time with Mark's friend L., but we have no firm plans as of yet. Profile address is good if you want to set something up!

New Orleans!
