"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I just mean that makes traveling easier.

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

Thanks for all the thoughts on the sausage last night. I tossed it. Today I have run a million errands. I am finally getting things off my list that my parents have been nagging about. It feels great to tell them, "Yes, I did get that done." Still no job and no resumes sent out today.

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

More than two weeks vacation time would help.

From ABC:

Another hypothesis -- one that is becoming increasingly accepted -- is that certain non-edible varieties of pine nuts are being passed off in the marketplace as the edible variety, Munk says. Some researchers have implicated China in exporting these non-edible pine nuts.

Gee, the country that gave us poison dog food and leaded toothpaste is selling inedible pine nuts as edible? Whodathunk? Let's only import ingestibles from countries with a functioning FDA equivalent, kthkxby!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

On the flip side, the lack of desperation for jobs means there's less of a need to travel. Look at all the countries with less job security than the US.

Jamaicans get out plenty. And we can't hop a bus/train to get there. Many of us travel because we feel we have to.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just got a fancy big new computer monitor, and I barely know what to do with myself! It's bananas. And might actually help my neck/shoulder issues!

I don't know if I'll ever figure out how to effectively use two screens, though....

Email goes up on the left, other applications on the right. Works like a charm.

I can see that. Interesting perspective.

re: two monitors

One screen has the main work application and the call queue monitoring program, the other screen has the various resources and utilities that I may or may not need.

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

But when you have four monitors, email goes on the top-right one.
