Yup, that is what I mean.

Alas, some of the higher-ups appear fixated on the notion that exposure to my face (as opposed to my work product) somehow enhances their lives...

Thankfully, after seeing my face no one seems to care if I am physically present or not...

How come no one told me there was a Dr. Suess stamp?

I've seen much stupider, but if you want to discuss Tom DeLay, we should take it to Politics.

I thought people had to be dead for at least 7 years before they could be stamped. did I just make this up or is it some requirement? and has Dr Seuss been dead that long?

oh, the many questions you've inspired!


ETA - Apparently he died in 1991.

We're running it in an XP environment as well, and it is still slow as a motherfucker.

Serious. I have no complaints (except for the obvious what the fuck am I doing on a Saturday complaint) about the speed.

In other news, the banks are open. The subway is fine. Don't live your life in fear.

It's not the speed so much as all that cough syrup I took...

Think half full. "I have no complaints with using Citrix on Tuesday afternoon in shorts by pool with a wireless laptop creating a distribution agreement masterpiece..." Outside the box.

Dude, are you still thinking outside the box? I remember when that was cool. Barely. Thinking inside the box is the new thinking outside the box. Um, in like, 1998. So, I suppose going back to thinking outside the box is O.K. again as sort of an ironic post-thinking-inside-the-box-is-the-new-thinking-outside-the-box kind of statement. That is, if you like being a couple of years behind the curve. My ocular muscles are getting sore from rolling my eyes at you. I wish there was an emoticon for that. Anyhoo, if you were perhaps thinking about becoming at least somewhat current in your approach to these issues, I've got a little tip for you:

Be the box.

You're welcome.

Maybe you're all being boxes out there in flyover land, but let me hook you up with the real hipness - there is no box. Namaste.

What's really "out" is the about-to-be-made-obsolete talking about the wonders of technology.

IT geeks are polishing programs that will write next year's distribution agreement masterpieces, we all know that, and find Mr. Man "wanting to stay home" ironic because pretty soon he'll have no choice. That was, of course an implicit cruelty in your post.

But guess what flower? some geeks are working on a program that does snide comments on grammar AND can compose the occassional "that's so 1998 post." Sorry flower, but pretty soon you'll just be another "first roomer" trying to tread water like me

Alcohol abuse up, but alcoholism down

Alcohol abuse, is defined as drinking-related failure to fulfill major obligations at work, school or home, interpersonal social or legal problems and drinking in hazardous situations. Alcoholism, which declined, is characterized by compulsive drinking, preoccupation with drinking and tolerance to alcohol.

Subtle difference. Can't one abuse alcohol and still fulfill major obligations at work? Are we just not trying hard enough?
