Steve jobs seemed like an interesting guy in many ways(Not a god at all...I've read some stuff about him and his daughter Lisa that I didn't love reading, but I hope he made up with her.) I think it's too bad I won't get to talk to him sometime, which is what I would like strangers to feel about my obit too. I don't think about Macs much, but I can respect his more artistic approach to life, and etc. And I love that person as well, but there is definitely a side I love less.And that is the side that would be anti-puppy if everyone else is pro. So like Bourdain not going to the pyramids, although she does not like him either.(Which is funny as she could be a Tony Bourdain genderswap.) The Egyptian pyramids are not just a tourist trap, Tony. Argh! ita, so sorry about all the tough breaks. Good thoughts for your mother, whom I think of when I see a Jamaica commercial. Y'all are funny.

msbelle, I recommend finding a new hobby to take up the break time that you can't spend on the internet. Do you play a musical instrument? Badly?

also ita, I just spoke to a friend of mine who I hadn't spoken to for awhile. She had a 15lb ovarian tumor. Her oncologist thought she was a goner because typically tumors that size in that location are cancerous. Hers miraculously was not. She has lost 33 lbs as a result of the removal of the tumor and recovery/exercise period.

Holy shit. That's amazing.

msbelle - that sucks. Argh.

amyth- yikes! Stay well.

Man, I am tired. Possibly as tired as yesterday but since I didn't go lie down when I first came home I'm not asleep. (I came home, listened to Marketplace and then fell asleep and slept 'til almost 9 pm last night.)

My mom's email got hacked, I got a message from telling me about the wonders of her online part-time job where she earns $6,000 a week.

What should she do? Should I be worried?

Jesse,

it was no joke, it pushed her organs out of place! I couldn't believe it.

Yeah, I can't even imagine.

I am thinking about a smart phone, but really, how stupid is that? I don't have disposable income for that right now. I think I will knit, in the office at my desk. that or read.

I know people are knee-jerk about the internet, but it is just so dumb. Like they come in and talk to me about mac, that is not work related. It is just as likely to be the cause of mistake I have made and not caught on proposals. (of course the real reason is that I am human and also a person who rushes and hates to look things over a million times.)

whatever. it's just a fucking job and I probably need a push to really think about leaving it in another 6 - 8 months anyway. It will serve it's purpose.

The mac stuff, no good answer there. He wants to be all super togethery tonight and I know that, but I am taking a break now, because I can only fake being into super bonding family time for so long. After a rough night, I don't want to even see him.

Annnnndddd my bank account is overdrawn. ducks at my ankles.
