Agreed! I have pretty much stopped bringing my dog b/c he would bark occasionally at people walking by and startle them (as well as startle me). I love the little guy, but I am too embarrassed to have a dog do that. I am often appalled at how people are unconcerned with how their dog is affecting someone else's enjoyment of the area.

Makes you ache, don't it?

Hm, did you get any release in your position?

Woo! Hoo!

I wish you guys would stop holding this on Opening Day. Have fun all!

I am going to ski like a mofo this year. I see you are already getting started. Let's go. Is your schedule pretty open?

Way to put in your $0.02 I think we could say that there is some state sponsored torture b/c our Nat'l Guard folks got called up. Aren't they paid for by the state? (even though their title is "National").

They let you out?

I hope they find her quickly. It is damn chilly out there and she is not prepared for a bivy.

I am. My taxes go toward warring and torturing other people. Sadism.

I love paying taxes.

Right on! Good luck to her!

So what did your friend decide on?

Dorks unite.

and it changed the hunter's gender? Wow, that is some mushroom.

taking a day off work for hunting.

Yes, selling gym memberships pumps my nads.

I'll bet the pay is stupendous.

the rofl tee shirt? I want the baby tee that says: No. I will not fix your computer.

ARe you tracking me? I just looked on that site. Scary.

It's ok, as a grad student in computer science, I took undergrad courses in Organic Chemistry and intensive russian "for fun". I don't feel so bad now.

I'm holding a Bug Bash this Monday. This is a first for the company I am at and I want to make it fun. I want to have a prize or two for things like "Ugliest bug" and "Most reported bugs" that sort of thing. I am going to have the catagories for both outside field people who will pound on the system for two hours as well as for the internal QA team who will be bug bashing at the same time. I can spend up to $100 a prize. Any good ideas? Serious or fun both welcome.

I never read Moby Dick in high school or college, and remember all my class mates who read it, hated it, and bitched about it, so I never tried it. I finally picked it up two years ago, and absolutely LOVED it. Melville is a genius, and packs that novel with so much dense symbolism and references it is unbelievable. I especially enjoyed his sense of humor. It's probably my favorite classic - right up there with the Iliad and Heart of Darkness. In college, I actually took a Summer course on Melville. I am a dork.

I LOVE freaky. I don't trust people who aren't. Plus, they are boring.
