Well, uh, wow. EeK The building holding Anna's jobsite burned down last night. They were supposed to move out closer to here before Christmas anyway, but not the best way to get time off. Julia, eek, eek, eek. Jeez. Nobody got hurt, I hope?

Julia, eek, eek, eek. Jeez. Nobody got hurt, I hope? The paper says no; rumors among people working that shift are rife, however. 75 people evacuated - Sunday night they only have one call room and no trainees, the whole site holds about 300 people at full capacity. (with about 1/3 of the total on their days off). This is a tech support call center, not a sales one, owned by Xerox, working for Verizon, et'c. Julia, which means they'll bend space-time to be back online by Christmas.

So I had a wonderful party last night courtesy of Rich and Jason. They cooked a Dim Sum Dinner for me and baked me a mocha crunch birthday cake. Our friends came over and we had a wonderful night. Thank you Rich and Jason! Angelique! Happy Birthday! Glad you had a great party. How did the Firefly theme party go? What did you end up doing?

Julia, no, really. Since March 11 is my birthday, I always especially loved having a St Cripin's day speech of my very own. R.I.P. Mr. Nielsen. You might not have saved the world but you made us laugh. A lot.

You might not have saved the world but you made us laugh. A lot. Hear, hear! And making us all laugh? Is pretty darn world-savey, IMHO. Heck, if more people did that, maybe the world wouldn't need so much saving, eh?

In case this was missed from the previous part: Signs You and Your Friends Have Too Much Time to Think About Things:Photo and Caption below on Facebook that prompted the following exchange with friend Mike: Caption by Mike: Greedo was more complicated than anyone ever suspected. Diane: Nobody ever said Greedo was a MALE. All we knew was he/she/it worked for Jabba the Hutt, was a killer for hire and was apparently a little slow on the draw. Mike: Well gender identification issues aside, I am concerned about Greedo's approach to selecting footwear for his job and environment. Greedo is a bounty hunter that is on a desert planet. As anyone knows walking in pumps in the sand can lead to a nasty twisted ankle. Greedo casts caution to the wind in favor of fashion. A lack of prudence on his part disturbs me. Diane: I'm sure Greedo would have appreciated your concern, but since he/she/it was hunting in town where the streets were paved, and since the shoes in querstion have stocky rather than spike heels, and Greedo was, after all, indoors at the cantina and rather than stalking in the dunes; and since Greedo was sitting at the time of his/her/its demise, the sartorial faux pas could probably be dismissed as moot. HA! ;D ;D ;D
