I'm going to have to finish this project with out going outside to smoke. I can do it. I'm tough. I should...

i hope you got out by now. i would hate to think of everyone resorting to canibalism or something from being trapped alive in the office
freyja__:
you should really quit smoking anyway.
I'm sitting at work on Saturday afternoon. Listening to this American life. Those of you that aren't familiar with the show - it's a radio show on npr that tells stories on a theme through interviews. Today it starts out with this old tape recording a little kid had sent to his father. His dad was a merchant marine and would be gone for 6...

You know - a smoker will never take your last cigarette. It's totally unethical. I offered it to a guy that asked and he was like "oh no way - that's your last one.". If you've ever seen it, it reminds me of that seen in Pirates of the Caribbean where they abandon Johnny Depp to die on a desert island but they leave him...

Let me just say that I'm sorry if I've been a dick to you this past week or so. Except Paul. Paul is a bitch. He can take is overly calm monotone voice and jump into to the gapping jaws of hell.

where?
alaspooryorick:
Exactly on the Thalidomide. But had we followed the Libertarian mantra for 200 years, there never would have been an FDA to regulate it (you can actually still buy it for leprosy, apparently) or an EPA to ban DDT. We would rely on "market forces" to pressure corporations into being responsible citizens. And we know how well that works.
All right - I've gotten a got bit done at work this weekend and got to go see Jamanda's totally swank pad. Martini's = good. It blew that I had to do split shifts with D but I had a dang good time while I was there.

That would have made me feel somewhat better, but alas she was online last night and ignored me.

I feel like I've been pissed off all week. Not that there isn't a good reason but I think I've had enough. I need to cloister my self away in my office this weekend so that I can finish this crappy logo I'm doing freelance. If I cant make it in I'm going to be pissed. Even more so.

My ass is feeling all kinds of beat up.
Between a demanding southern belle CEO, the DMV, and impenetrable bureaucratic phone maze of the Wells fargo auto finance - I am burnt out. I'm patient but in my conversation with a customer service rep I just about lost it.
It's 7:12 and I'm still at work. I am listening to the Decembrists - which I...

hey im with you. i have a fat demanding greek boss i refer to as The Hen. i refer to him as such because he resembles a puffed out hen, and that bastard is too busy sitting on his huge ass nest egg and pecking at everyone to act like a normal human.

I need a new computer so bad it's not even funny and if I can knock out this one freelance job I'm there. I could also wrangle this one job that owes me for something I did in February but that's going to be tricky. I can't really be like "give me my money bitch!" because it's kind of my...

Sorry I couldn't make it out to night, but I was out way to late last night and need the rest tonight, plus I had just eaten. Next time, I'm down for some Indian.
Maybe I'll see you Sat. night.

i had some crazy dream a few weeks ago about being held hostage in my room by a racoon, 2 rats, 2 mice, 2 cats, a baby tiger, and a ferret. the ferret was the only one with a conscience, and the rest of them wanted to let the tiger cub eat me. it was a scary dream.

looks like a big rat to me.
I'm working on this lame ass project for one of clients. It's like a retirement farewell for one of their exec's. I hate this kind of piddely hokey ass crap. But one has to really kiss ass in this business to make more business. It's sadly funny though because over this guy's career you can see him go from a tall slender young man to...

I'm listening to science Friday on Talk of the Nation. They're doing an earth day special and talking about global warming. It's pretty depressing.
I've got to had it to the republicans. They were right. I remember a speech Dubya made a long time ago, right after he ditched the Kyoto treaty. He had the five remaining scientists that were not convinced that global warming...

Global warming has just as much evidence for it as against it. (Actually I'm lying, there's more against it, but I'm trying to be modest)
In the last century, the world has increased an average of one degree.
Go wet your panties, 'cause man, one degree, that's makin' me scared.
The global warming measurements that support GB ALL were taken on land. Measurements taken on land are ALWAYS warmer than the actual earth's temperature. More accurate measurements are taken in the air, and those measurements do not point to global warming at all. We have less of those measurements (but PLENTY for a supported hypothesis) because the balloons are more expensive and usually are torn apart.
Glaciers are melting, yes, but only the glaciers that are moving closer to the equator. We actually have a high enough percentage of ice covering the world (can't think of the number off the top of my head, the project was last semester) to put us in an ICE AGE. Not a bad one, of course, but we are in an ice age.

Please tell me that you're not going to listen to a republican for your scientific news. Gore? Really, you're going to go by what Gore says? (the first politician to use global warming as vote fodder)

cute really isnt the best word to describe a snapping turtle. that had to be the most pissed off creature i have ever ran into. he was also suprisingly strong for his size
Good lord - I'm finally done cleaning. I painted the living room, defiled the ancient mouse burial ground underneath my house, planted a flower bed, and scrubbed the damn kitchen floor like a scullery maid. It finally looks decent there.
