Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

Good luck with the interview, ita!

It's definitely corn season in NC.

I don't appreciate waking to my water detector in the basement losing its mind. OTOH, there was no flooding, just a dying detector.

Annoying, Sarah.

Good luck, ita!

So I slept like a champion while I was sick. I suppose the virus had something to do with that. But last night being my first night sleep before work? Total wreck. Woke up at 2:30, didn't get back to sleep until 5. Then woken up by Oz at 6.

Punishingly Intricate

Rock the interview, ita!!

I'd be really interested to hear about the BA test. We're having a hard time finding good people for BA positions now. I can't figure out how you'd test someone for good BA skills.

I'm having to go back to work after a week away with no recovery day from vacation. blurgh. I hope I remember how to do my job! And I have no phone right now. It died for good, I'm pretty sure, on vacation and I should have ordered a new one while I was away but didn't want to deal. boo.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good luck with the test, ita! Good luck getting back into the swing of working, lisah!

I feel pretty rested, but I did wake up too early, look at my watch and think "4:04, sleep not found"

Mmm, sweet corn.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Craaaaaamps. Bleh.

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

lol

Although I was regretting it at 3 o'clock this morning, I got back to sleep after a couple hours and now I feel unusually good today (which I believe for most people would be described as "normal") so maybe finishing that bottle of hard cider last night was an okay idea. Maybe the anti-D is kicking in.

Oh, hey, my office is updating Windows soon! To Windows 7. We've been running Windows XP all this time. I love my company.

Well, no one can accuse your office of being hasty.

I am living in dread of the day I get the current Windows upgrade. Stupid change!

Meanwhile, our database hasn't had a GUI update in what seems like decades. Although I believe it works better than it used to....
