yeah, with kids I agree.

In this book we read (which was tedious beyond belief) they hung ya fer rustlin' cattle. Then they spit their terbaccy at yas dead corpse. God, it was boring.

I totally forgot to mention that no one is hanging Bernie Madoff...and he stole a shit lot more than cattle. maybe we SHOULD bring vigilantism into his situation...

Did you ever read 'Blood Meridian'? I had to read that for an American Lit course I took at Uni. Now that book had some wild west justice in it.

Cute guy in my lit class.

Lovely blue eyes, wonderful poetic insight, nice smile.

But I'm old enough to be his mom, and I'm married. Not supposed to notice these things, or care. :(

I do.

Oh, sweetie! you're allowed to LOOK! (Just don't touch---at least, not where anyone can see it)

MY problem is not the young ones (somehow, they all remind me of my sons) it's the older men I have a sweet tooth for. You should see on of my new profs---soooooo cute!! But young (like the Yorkshireman) and he really doesn't do much for me. He DOES have purty blue eyes though.

Man, I'm a wench.

-11 temps this morning. Metra is running 15 to 40 minutes late, and the station was already packed wall to wall when I got there. I waited about 10 minutes and then gave up. Working from home.

Dammit. I really wanted a Big Mac...

I need to leave here right at 1pm today, and naturally, there's a deal brewing, and the slowest mook out there has it......I just know I'm going to get this deal at 12:45 and be stuck here until 1:30 fucking around with it.

I have something important to be about.

What's annoying me? Some people just don't know how to cut to the chase. Like (hypothetically speaking speaking) if somebody calls up and says his email isn't working, and I ask what happens when he tries to check his email. I don't ask where he bought the computer, how long he's had it, whether he likes it, or why he really wants his email to be working before this afternoon. But I find out anyway, all before I find out what his email was actually doing.

You'll have to work on your 'butt-in' skills.

Yes but see, we are Customer Oriented. We show Concern at the Customer's Problems. Because IT has such a long reputation as antisocial, insensitive clods, we have to bend over backwards to prove that we are able to be nice to people who, apparently, haven't been taught to be nice back.

All of which constrains me from yelling "Will you shut the hell up and answer the question I actually ASKED you??" when my polite efforts along the lines of "Uh-huh. That's nice... tell me again what the error was it gave you when you tried to download your mail?" failed miserably.
