Here's a nice salute to women in computer technology: [link]

Late to the party, but I also am willing to ita !'s date. In fact let us simply assume that the entire membership of buffista.org is eager to be ita !'s date for this. That will require chartering a plane or two.

Well I went almost 4 months, and maybe it shouldn't count because I am so clearly hormonal and also worried about mac on his new daily schedule, but overload frustration crying at work. do not like and do not want and do not do not.

I am like a giant blob of don't wanna and feel like I have been for a year or more. Ocassionaly I get the blob dressed up and looking somewhat passing for a functional human of adult age, but then the blob starts seeping out around the edges and takes everything over again.

oh msbelle. I think that you are amazingly resilient and capable. The don't wanna blob is a part of what makes it possible for you to cope with all you need to do.

Overload blows though. I wish I could help.

Kat knows of what she speaks, and speaks the truth, msbelle.

I too would love to be ita's date!

Long convoluted story, but I may be going to Jamaica to watch the Olympics in August. My friend may be competing for the Bahamas in her 5th Olympics at the ripe old age of 47. Since we don't yet know if she will qualify, her boyfriend says we need to go home with him to Jamaica to watch her if she goes. As we well know, the US televised events will never ever show the Bahamian Javelin contenders, but each time she has competed he had no problem finding her events on Jamaican television. So that is the plan at the moment.

The more the merrier!

msbelle--a little bird mentioned she had Visine on hand for such occasions. I wish that weren't a piece of advice I'd both take and give, but...there you are. I wish you didn't need it.

My migraine doctor seems fired up again--occipital nerve block and botox and I have no idea if the aspirin infusion is still happening...

Man, the latest changes to gawker.com suck so much that my sister, the definitive lurker, has emailed me to bitch about it. Denton is deliberately making it harder to read comments (he wants you to work, he says), and guess what so far--less reading happens.

I'd love to look at the numbers for the recent period where commenting was down.

Wait, Laura--why not the Bahamas?

(not gonna turn down the American green, tho)

My friend spends about a third of his time in Jamaica and has a family home there. So place to stay and all that.

Liese,

the link about where your parents think you lived made me laugh out loud in the office. Not professional, but they hear me laughing all the time, so they are used to it!

The fuck? That makes no sense.
