And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Seriously?!?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Today's fortune cookie:

Watch your relations with other people carefully are reserved.

Huh?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Wow, that is less than my student assistant makes in upstate NY!

Because books.

Watch ... where your relations with other people are carefully reserved? How? Maybe, "Watch: your relations with other people are carefully preserved." Fun with missing words ...

Meanwhile, I'm already creating a house style guide. Which they don't have after more than a year in business. I'm swinging between weeping with despair and crowing that I will now be able to Enforce the Proper Rules.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Alas, it was a job paying $9.00 an hour.

Jeez, Scrappy. That's not right.

The job I do still needs doing, but only some of it will get done. My Nemesis will continue hoarding information to make herself look good, won't put people in touch with me, and even more will fall through the cracks than already does.

This will at least be consistent with the rest of the country, where they don't have a dedicated person managing the inventory in other regions, either.

I'd had the thought that I could leverage my program into a national position, because the organization doesn't actually have anyone in that role: nobody upstairs has a really good handle on it, and the field is inconsistent because there's no information-sharing or horizontal implementation.

Instead I'm functionally demoted: no longer a program manager, no longer a single point of contact on these issues, and with really limited options for advancement.

... looked at it that way, I don't think it'll be too hard to make the decision.

Because books.

I agree, Consuela, although I'm sorry you have to.

I regret not bringing All the Clementines to work with me today. So good.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm sorry, Consuela.

Grand Central Terminal pictures. #1, #15 & #16 are amazing, but wouldn't want to be breathing air that smoky.

Look how styling the women are in #17! America - what happened? You slobs.

#28 is cool.

#29 reminds me of Pearly Soames.

Happy birthday, Olivia!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Argh, why today for my bank website to be down? And back up. And down again.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Alas, it was a job paying $9.00 an hour.

In some places, that's an above-average wage. Sadly. I couldn't live on that anymore. But my BFF lives on less.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My boss called me from his car from the airport and told me to meet him in his office when he arrived. I was not fired, he just wanted to clarify some mostly personal stuff he has as the top priority for ne right now.

So, I then went and threw up.

Must update resume and do job search this weekend.
