Maybe I'll have him tell me how to get to places I already know how to get to, just to listen to him.
So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I do wish Ichabod and Terry said the street names, but I'm usually using it to get around traffic, not direct me somewhere unfamiliar.
in naught-point-one miles, turn your carriage to the right.
Also, this made me go "eeeeeeee!" I can't wait to try it tomorrow.

Yeah, I understand why it's not technically feasible to lock an actor in a recording booth for a year having them read the names of every street in the US, Mexico, and Canada, but we have Autotune now! Can't we have people just read phonemes and then magically assemble them into words?

Periodically, I look up and am all GODDAMN, startled by my wall.
Also, fuck you adobe, I just want to post some public domain images, but you'll only save them as images in thirds. Go die.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
"in naught-point-one miles, turn your carriage to the right."
That is delightful.

sara, sorry about your wall woes.
We had to have an all-staff meeting to discuss where to place the new photocopier. This took 45 minutes. I am not making this up.
We once had a three day retreat (granted it was in Sonoma) where we spent the whole time covering what to do if the girls chewed gum, how to record tardies and dealing with the uniform policy.

Wow, and I thought the "how to use FedEx because we switched from UPS" training I have to go to next week was silly. Y'all got me beat.
Also: I don't think this is applicable to any of our Seattleites or people, but maybe they know folks? A friend says "If you know any great software engineers with experience building component software on the Microsoft WCF stack at one of the best companies in Seattle, send them my way." He's a sweetheart--scary looking, but a sweetheart.

Oh, crap. I have to make a decision. I'm the number 1 candidate and they will meet my salary requirements (which I totally didn't expect). Except: they don't really have an office, except a one-person office in downtown Berkeley used by a subsidiary that does unrelated work; the work-load is expected to be heavy; travel expected to be "some" ranging to "lots" (as in 2-3 times per month).
I have a stomach ache. I don't want to change jobs! And I am suddenly remembering how happy I was to leave consulting and get into the public sector.
