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.
Kaylee: Is that him? Mal: That's the buffet table. Kaylee: Well how can we be sure, unless we question it?

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.

Maybe you can chuck it at the facilitator's head.

You can demonstrate that force equals mass times acceleration.

There's snow in the mountains. And so it begins.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

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.

Perkins, if they give you a rock, keep it. Tell them you have bonded with your rock completely and cannot let it go. Do it for me.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
So a question came in last night about one of my projects, but the email was sent to My Nemesis. Who replied to the sender and cc'd my boss.
She had a teleconference this morning about the question, with a Congressional staffer, and during the conversation they asked her questions about other projects and issues that are within my area of expertise.
Did she tell me about the question or invite me to the telecon? No, she did not.
I found the note about the telecon on the office calendar--after it happened--and asked about it. At which point she had the balls to ask me for the information they had asked her for. Instead of giving it to her, I'm going to say that I'm happy to take any calls on the matter.
