Sometimes being too good of a tech geek is, um, too good. But, on the positive side, I bet you could recite every episode of Star Trek from memory (original series of course) and have engaged in multiple discussions of who is better - Kirk or Picard.

Better yet, I bet you could lead us in a fascinating discussion of the MD5 hash.

Hate to disappoint on the Star Trek front. However, I do remember the episode with Tribbles. And I will opine that Patrick Stewart is sexier than William Shatner.

BTW - a SHAH hash is supposedly better than the MD5.

ETA: I hate the Patriots.

Are you going to watch Coughlin's team next year or would you like to join in the boycott?

I'm conflicted about how I feel about the Patriots win because I'm a bit of a closet Colts fan. On the one hand, the Patriots at home should be easier for them. OTOH, it is the Patriots. I think Peyton can get over the hurdle this year. Thanks to his new defense. Please, god, don't let the Patriots make the Super Bowl again.

I'm joining the boycott. I can't believe they hired Coughlin back. I need to find a new team to root for next year. It definitely won't be the Pats.

I'll be cheering for the Colts and the Saints next weekend.

My base is pretty good. The bonii structure leaves a lot to be desired.

Clearly, I need to recruit some colleagues and start posting about money on an anonymous chat board.

If you are a stud para, you are worse off getting promoted. I have met some para's and secretaries that make what 1st year associates do through a lot of overtime.

I take it you weren't in Brookline.

(Aren't you in Beantown too?)

In Beantown, Kupel's? in Brookline was the best, I felt.

If you are in boston proper you either were at Finagle a Bagel or Einstein's or is that only in Brookline also?

2. I didn't want to say it, but since you did, I agree. Me personally, I'd rather have the $$$$ than title, but that again, is a personal decision. The OT is pretty good, I feel.

sorry I meant to hit edit/hit quote in a retarded move.

Holiday? Happy Holiday??? I'll tell you what "holidaes" are. They just another work day. If I could work my will every idiot who goes about with 'Happy Holidaes' on his lips (or in his emails), should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of ironweed through his heart.

Unfortunately, it sounds like what Anne does in the law (super high end electronic discovery issues) takes her outside the realm of paralegal duties (and being non-exempt under the FLSA) and into a different white collar exemption under the FLSA. Thus, she is likely paid a salary and is not eligible for overtime.

What is a "work day"?

Oh. Right. What I'm going to be having tomorrow.

What kind of pudding? I've got a hankering for rice pudding.

somewhere else on the interweb i have a blog. there is this pop up ad for a personals/dating service with some examples of the female members. it has always confused me because the women are all really beautiful, and they seem really uninhibited-example- one did her video in a bathrobe drying her hair after a shower- another is lying on like some board that makes her whole body shake just a little- some of them writhe around-

it seems a bit forward for just wantign to meet for coffee first.

in short they didn't seem like the kind of girls that might need a dating service AND there were no normal looking girls. at first I thought it might be unwise for the service to only highlight it's hottest "members" because it might be intimidating to normal guys.

then I remembered that lots of these pages know who the pop up is to, and can tailor the message to the recipient. like lots of other dating pop up pages tie your location to the locations of the supposed members.

my blog has pix irl and of course my writing so it's pretty obv. to any webspider I'm super duper handsome and smart- both in intelligence and lifestyle-

I figure out this page realizes what a catch I am and serves up the equivalent in dating possibilities- the girls probably have their hearts broken when they realize ole hank is married.

Nest time I'm at SS or Icantread's blog I'm going to see if the women aren't more the "2.5 type" like they get normally.

Forward me the emails. You're wife keeps telling me she is curious for a girl like that to join the two of us. FMF style.

I think you should reply to all and remind everyone that Robert E. Lee day should be treated with more respect.

Turns out he's from Arizona, so he got a free pass.

Hank's posts in this regard should never be taken seriously. Let's just say that for all of his bluster to the contrary, he is older than me, fatter than me, and about as much a stud as Laura Bush is a party girl.

It's best just to ignore him when he's yelling for attention. Any notice at all will just encoourage him.
