The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
Interviews may suck at times, but a mocha afterwards makes life better.

So I spend 5 months developing an app and someone outside my organization just wants me to hand over my source code
Dang!

Another customer said, "She froze her eggs just in case." She is wearing headphones and may or may not realize her volume.

I was waiting to pay for lunch at the market's counter and some woman came up and tried to pay for her stuff. I told her I was there first (nicely) and she said "oh yes, you were here first!"
We sometimes get ants during the summer (little fuckers make it up nine floors??); I end up killing them with a napkin or spraying them with Windex, but will definitely try Borax next time. Just looked it up and that stuff has a ton of uses!
Will be doing that this morning. Lil guys tried to move in last night...
For you, Jedi Hedo. Our Thinker in Cleveland has his butt blown out.
The museum's large cast of The Thinker has a unique history that highlights some of the ethical and practical issues inherent in the field of conservation. Cast under Rodin's direct supervision, the large version of The Thinker was purchased from the artist by Clevelander Ralph T. King who donated it to the museum in 1917. First displayed in the museum's rotunda, it was soon moved outside, to the museum's south entrance. Once the sculpture was outdoors, its surface began to corrode almost immediately, changing the color and appearance of the metal. Over the years, hand-rubbing, wax, and commercial oil preparations were used to protect it. Then, in 1970, the sculpture was severely damaged by a dynamite explosion. According to the Cleveland Police Department, this act of vandalism was committed by a cell of the politically radical Weather Underground that was operating in Cleveland at the time.
In the aftermath of the bombing, the museum considered three options: 1) obtain and display a replacement cast; 2) repair the sculpture by welding on newly cast sections to replace the areas that were damaged; 3) mount and display the damaged sculpture. All three options were problematic in some way. With the first, a new cast of the complete sculpture would be removed historically from the original, which was so closely connected with the artist. A recast would in essence be a reproduction. With the second, distortions caused by the dynamite blast would have made it difficult to align the replacement sections with those original sculpture. The third option was chosen largely because it preserved what was left of Rodin's original work and because the damaged sculpture would bear vivid witness to a period of political unrest in the United States during the Vietnam War.
Like the museum's other outdoor sculptures, The Thinker now receives routine maintenance twice a year. It is washed and rewaxed each spring and fall.
An interesting comparison can be made with the musem's small version of The Thinker. Also cast in the late 19th century under Rodin's direct supervision, this work has remained indoors, in the controlled environment of the museum, and is in excllent condition. The original surface and artistic intention have been preserved.

This is fascinating, what exposure can do - not to mention the blast. That third option makes much sense.
And good luck with those damned ants! They usually send scouts to our place and if we can kill them (our cats are of no assistance as they just sit and watch them ), we've pretty much nipped it in the bud.
I had three interviews this week, and I have one scheduled for next week already. Friday the 13th is nap time.

Don't be pulling that shit with me, lady!
You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
