Also, I have to wonder what's up with the ATL airport. This is the third time in 2 months that my lock has either been missing or attached but unlocked when I'm transiting through that airport. No note from TSA saying they had to check my bag, and nothing's been missing.

Sounds like TSA needs another housecleaning. They probably would've stolen if you had anything good in there. Boo.

I am in Omaha. Whee? So sleepy--had to get up at 6am to make my flight. Finished a meeting early and am now having more coffee. Two more meetings and three reports to write. Ugh.

Also, I feel I am quite well-paid, but those SF prices scare the crap out of me. Dear lord!

Yuck, could have used a tag or warning before someone on my friend's list posted a pick of a bouncy-house staph infection. I hate that facebook doesn't give you a choice about opening pictures.

As well they should. "The median rent in San Francisco, according to the index, now sits at a terrifying $4,225/month." [link]

Edit: there are a lot of arguments that the median rent isn't actually that high, but it's still Too Damn High.

I feel about that number the way I feel when I try to comprehend infinity.

It's slightly more than the median household income in the US.

Why I live in the boondocks.

But enough about the furious math I've been doing! I totally forgot about this chocolate and peanut butter mini-cupcake sitting on my desk. Gonna eat you now, cupcake.

"The median rent in San Francisco, according to the index, now sits at a terrifying $4,225/month."

Yipes! That makes me reach for the smelling salts and I live in LA! Admittedly we are very fortunate to live in our house.

I pay $525 a month rent.

How do people like secretaries exist in San Francisco (or do they just get paid more too)

I know no one else cares, but tennis is very exciting right now.
