The Westboro Phelps?
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Many happy returns, Sail!

ION, the Phelps have decided to boycott Jobs' funeral. They announced this by posting to Twitter from an iPhone. ::facepalm::
I think you mean picket? Because otherwise, right on.

Thanks for all the birthday happies!
Here's hoping you find a replacement you like at not too exorbitant a cost, ita.

I think you mean picket?
D'oh! Yes, fixed. And yeah, the Westboro Phelpses. Ridiculous people.
Luck to your DH, Maria. I hope everything goes smoothly. {hugs}
I get to present my program to the Big Boss today, so I am dressed very well (grey Calvin Klein sheath dress, grey tights, grey heels, topped with a bright blue boyfriend cardigan and a multi-colored necklace). My boss has been very supportive that it's my program, not My Nemesis', so even though she's invited to the meeting, I'm the one giving the material. I am being sufficiently petty that I'm not showing her any of the maps & charts I have prepared beforehand.
Anyway, we're going to see if there's a way to get me in a position to be coordinating this program nationwide instead of just for the west coast. Assuming, that is, I get to stay. Oy.

Huh, now that you mention it...No.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Fingers crossed for a great presentation, Suela!

As is often the case, the Onion has one of the best takes on Steve Jobs death: "Last American Who Knew What The Fuck He Was Doing Dies."

Happy birthday, Sail!
Oh, dear, Scrappy. I think that Steve Jobs' misstep in this whole thing was evidently using math in any form or function.
I just nearly spat yogurt all over my (Mac, sob!) laptop. Well played, ita !.
