It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I'm still waiting for an apology from you pro-methane terrorists.

I'm assuming that garbon is okay, since it was in east Harlem, but has anyone heard from him, just to be sure?
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I didn't know anything about this being that a) the northern wastes are mostly a theoretical space for me (-_-) and b) I was in the middle of my performance review.

But yeah I'm fine. :) :blush:

I did talk with friends up there who heard the bomb and just thought it was a loud truck or blasting work on 2nd ave tunnel. Transportation is now all screwy up there.

Our self-appraisals are due several weeks in advance-- so our managers can be lazy and use them for the basis of the actual review.  For my direct reports, I'm always amazed by them bringing up stuff they did wrong that I forgot about :D

That's our typical process. This was really odd. Also, my old boss changed my objectives on Monday because most hadn't been applicable to changes in company structure last year. :bleeding:

Oh, most of my review was them forgetting about all the positive things I'd done (some of those were ones they were barely aware of because they hadn't needed to provide input - which was kinda funny as that was one of my goals was to wean off the need for them :D).
