Well, I had planned to go to Prom, then life got in the way.

And the really screwed up part? Work sent me an email demanding I take vacation time.

I'd love to, jackasses. Except you don't want me to go on this day or that day or that other day, and oh we have the FDA coming next week and then it's a big...

Also, tell them that work commitments prevent it, and demand money in exchange. At double time.

Sock's suggestion doesn't sound like a bad idea, if they keep giving you the run-around.

Spent the day visiting a friend and his new dog (he kept asking for advice - apparently I'm the Dog Whisperer within my peer group), spent the evening watching Avatar with another friend and his kids. Damn, that's a pretty good cartoon.

But on the drive home, for some reason I can't explain, I encountered a great deal of anti-social behavior and anger around me....

I wish I had a "Dog Whisperer" in my posse! My little guy is pretty good, but has picked up a pesky barking habit. Any tips?
I have one for combatting road rage, etc: I usually just smile and give a little shrug. Like "Wha?" lol Either melts their heart or confuses them. Either way, seems to work like a charm wink

Avatar is EXCELLENT!

My kids and I absolutely love it. If it wasn't so damn expensive we would already have it on DVD.

All around, just really good stuff.

It was good to get away and reconnect with myself... but now that I've done it, I just want MORE! Greedy woman!

I hope you had a good trip, yourself. Enjoy being outside!

Oh look, it's my old pal insomnia? How have you been? The same? Yes, yes, I know how that is. Well, I really have to be getting back to sleep... so anyway... what? Yeah, of course the internet is "on."

Fucker. Here we go again.

I'm drinking a friend's homebrewed (home fermented?) hard cider. This is fightin' cider. Come on, somebody knock this chip off my shoulder. I dare ya!

No? Well then, I will go squirt my cat with water. Don't look at me like that, she mangled the chair, my boots, and half a dozen other things. She has an H2O firing squad coming to her.

(It occurs...

This is true. I've had lots of parents/family hate me so it's nice to be liked.

Quite buzzed on wine from a friend's personal vineyard. That sounds snobby, but around here, you can be a mechanic who specializes in old Buicks and still have a kickass personal vineyard.

I have a friend in Austin who made it into the super secret preview of the new Trek movie. Said friend is typically very harsh. And she gave it an unreserved thumbs up....

There are G20 protesters marching around the eTrade building and the Citicorp Center. Some dressed as Easter Eggs, or money, or naked.

Although when you are bringing your young children along, maybe it's better not to run right in front of a city bus.

No, I'm not dead, I've been too damn busy is all. Also, Twitter has destroyed my ability to blog coherently. Fucking short attention span theater, is what it is.

Just read an interesting little interview with a lawyer who is preemptively protecting the civil rights of clones. Which is awesome, but at the same time, it's depressing that people need to be told that human...

And then of course there's that dude who has not only snuck just about everything past security, but also has proven that you can make a functional bomb with a couple 20 oz. bottles of Coke and cleaning supplies from a past-security airport closet.

Company missed a key target because one group fucked around and didn't put in the work. Money lost, heads will roll.

What's worse is, this means I won't be able to go down to LA (yeah, was trying to make it something of a surprise - sorry.)

I always see hiring outside help. Or bringing in management ( ceo's ) from other companies. As a bad omen.
I never understood the theory on; how someone that doesn't care about the company ( only the money they're getting paid. ) as a good idea to have work on projects.

"Oh now, I'm not angry at you! You're not a stupid derivatives trader, are you? You know the value of preventing a wholesale collapse of the mortgage system don't you!? Good boy!"

I love discussing current issues with pets.
