Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wow. Sad.

My physics professor went from teaching classes to dead in a month once the treatment ceased to hold the pancreatic cancer at bay. It's relentless.

Ran into a coworker at the Y post pool. He didn't recognize me at first. Hah.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just got told that I (and the rest of the professional staff)have to go to two full days of effectiveness and interpersonal skills training.

They're going to give me Allyson's rock, aren't they

I can teach you how to be effective with a rock.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm horribly sad about Steve Jobs. I still have my first apple computer. It's beige and weighs 4000 pounds. If I plug it in, it still works. The gizmodo obit is making me even sadder.
