yay!

Relax the Back has some very nice chairs. I think that I'd like a Swopper for my bedroom-studio. I'm not sure what I'd like for my office.... I really hope that I don't have to leave my job....

I mean, I really like it there..., but that draft agreement is just so gross....

Jeff doesn't expect them to budge, based upon his `don't negotiate with terrorists' concept. Well, the thing is..., I don't negotiate with terrorists, either. And `let us fuck you or you're canned' sure-as-hell sounds like a terrorist threat. `whenever someone says, `give me more money or I'm leaving', as a manager, I have to say `fine, leave'', he says. `As soon as you start making threats, you have negative value', he says.

I'm not making threats--they are. I'm not trying to scare anyone--I don't want to scare anyone. I just don't think that it's fair to be expected to bend that far over for a measly $40k/yr.

wtf....

Christmas is such a strange time.... Gift-giving because of the date--strange strange strange.

I remember, a christmas or two ago, buying a present for chris. The thing was..., that I had forgotten that christmas was coming and that I was supposed to be buying christmas-presents for people, and not remembered it until after I bought him a present. "Oh, right--it's christmas! I could give this to him as a christmas present!", I thought to myself. Actually, I said it to myself. I suppose that I actually said it to tiare, too, because she was there with me.

Now, I'm supposed to be giving presents to everyone, and I'm being set-up to feel bad about not giving presents to certain people....

I don't like giving presents to people because I'm supposed to give presents to them--I like giving presents to people because I found something and went `Wow! That's so so-and-so!'.

Some-times, the happenstance of my finding presents for people hap-ily co-incides with some holiday....

Guys, don't feel that I don't love you or something if you don't get christmas-presents from me....

...

I bought some worry-dolls for the upcoming christmas yankee swap at worg--hah... hah... hah. Maybe I shouldn't mention that, yet..., but I suspect that it's highly improbable that anyone relevant will see this before Monday.

Who the hell to I know in Londonderry? Who do I know who uses Adelphia...?
