(no subject)

Today's unhappy about work has to do with the discussion i had with two staff members about how unhappy, unsatisfied they are.

The biggest issue, i suppose, is we all miss the Minnow years. But we had cheesecake and coffeecake yesterday to observe the 40th anniversary of the Whale. And it was good to stand and eat together.

Release manager meeting in ten minutes where we all present to one another. I hope my fifty minutes of prep was sufficient for the ten minute slot. (Powerpoint, joy.)

Depression wave coming at me: dirty floors, potential sibling visit from the sibling of poor scheduling ability, stupid sofas still cluttering, some cat messes not yet cleaned up.....

Searching "ask me anything" + a random term

Color=Green: Hmmm... out of all your close friend girls which one cud u see yourself bein in a relationship wit? (Use there nickname or initials!)

Yikes, at the spelling. This seems moot: Christine.

Town=guantanamo bay: Kumar: Mr. President, this is weed, do you like to get high?

OK, so I'm President, i must be high. But, no, my perceptual and emotional adventures are enough of a roller coaster without hel. Although, there is something about smoking half a pack of cigarettes, one after another, lighting one on the last glow of the previous, that i fondly remember. But generally i was damned depressed when i started the pack.....

Kitchen Implement=Can opener: you got expelled? for doing what?

Expelled from.... well, the "in crowd." Probably because i walked around with my nose in a book and generally hid. Expelled from Eden, inheriting inner demons with my inherited privilege. (Oh, but i live in California, another type of Eden.) Expelled from innocence... er, actually, i think depression had too much to do with innocence, in a way. Expelled from youth by the passage of time. Expelled from ....

Ecosystem=Coastal Marsh: And was a lot of your work in—in Lab Biology or was it Field Biology or a combination?

It would be cool to do fieldwork in physics, but for nuclear physics, it's a lab. I have wondered what would have happened if i had had mentors who really could help me pick a direction in choosing a discipline. What if i had chosen a science with field work? Would that have off-set the effects of depression in grad school? Would i have just coped better and taken much longer to confront my mental demons? Dunno.

Tree=Willow: Lantrip's photos of you are beyond all your other photogs w.r.t. setting, lighting, empathy, sexiness, and plain, all-round visual appeal. When it comes to capturing the Willow phenomenon, that boy is one in a million. True or false?

False. No -- True. Actually. Both.

Operating system= Mac OS 10.2 jaguar: Are Idiomatic Expressions for Idiots?

I don't think so. I think they are incredibly powerful ways of seeing into a culture's frames and history, and give us some insight into how we think.
