electriclandYippee for American Thanksgiving!
It's marvellously quiet around here because all our clients are at home eating turkey. Happy happy day. The downside is, I have a project I should be getting down to work on, but I hate it so much I'm very reluctant to go near it.
Upside: Mauro says the case studies on the monster project are nearly all fixed. I shall check them when they're completely fixed. Wish we'd sat down to work out all the parameters MONTHS ago... then we wouldn't have been in such a last-minute panic. I'm learning so much about my job from this project!
Pasted rant from email to Jen: Failed to do yoga this morning (but 3 for 4 on the week) and then got all irate reading the story about the Jocelyn Hotte trial (in case you haven't heard about this, he's an RCMP officer who killed his ex-girlfriend and wounded 3 other guys with his service revolver on the freeway last June -- his defence appears to be "I was stressed out of my mind, I got tear-gassed twice in Quebec City, and my sister died of cancer when I was 10 -- oh, and my ex had a sexual hold over me"). I particularly liked the statistic his lawyers presented: he's apparently taking 360 pills a month to deal with his depression and stress. Gosh! 360 pills! Well that works out to 6 pills a day. I'm sorry, my grandmother takes at least 6 pills a day and you don't see her going out and killing people.
Oh goody, the comics.com site is back up (it was down this morning, so I was deprived of my Frazz, Jane's World and 9 Chickweed Lane fixes). That's better.
