I'm baffled at how many people are cluttering up the workforce whose capacities litter the rich territory between "incompetent" and "unemployable". The phenomenon is even more puzzling now that I (finally!) am working for a company that seems to be staffed pretty exclusively with bright, friendly, and very capable people.

A mild case in point:

There's a deli in the mall near my office, and...

But perhaps they are there because of their lack of ability in the first place, so they are not cluttering up the workforce overall, but merely they are all getting you your sandwich.

I had a fantastic long weekend - booked an extra day off and went up to catch up with ma. I always wrestle with calling the house "my parents' place" or "my mom's place" since my father passed away. (The grammarian in me realizes I can continue to call it "my parent's place" and just move the apostrophe so nobody will know.) It was four...

I am, by any reasonable estimation, kind of an idiot.

Still, there are few things which I am reasonably certain are true. This is pretty basic stuff. You should eat well and sleep well. You should brush your teeth. God damn it, you've got to be kind. That sort of thing.

This past weekend, I was reminded by a very dear friend that life is...

Pointers regarding cool stuff to do in Hamburg as well as general travel tips are greatly appreciated. smile

Neato. How did you end up with a trip to Germany? Is it for work or pleasure (or both)?
_sarah_:
I've never been to Europe either. I'd really love to visit someday; I don't even really care which country I go to.

Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God.
--Kurt Vonnegut

As always, that phrase seems to fit.

If I'd known that the only meaningful vacation time I'd have in my professional life would be periods of unemployment, I think I might have made some very different choices starting somewhere in High School. Granted, I'm either masochistic enough, or just a big enough goddamned fool, that...

I'm sure I dance MUCH better than a weapons designer.

I have plenty of excuses. I just need the cash. wink I'm trying to figure out my budget for the summer.

I do have some vacation time coming, so I could do a long weekend fairly easily. It's really high on my priority list. Trust me. smile I'm dying to meet you guys.

Back from the 2008 NAMM show, abandoning once again sweet California for the frozen climes of the fabled Canadas.

The trip down was fine, as I think my body is naturally on Pacific Time, and a 3 hour offset just feels right to me.

To the person seated to my left on that flight:

Dear asshole,

First of all, there is no goddamned reason to...

When you have a famous band, in your first video you should all dress in pink and green bodyglove wetsuits as a tribute to Living Color. I actually saw them at the very first lollapalooza.

I remember that song won like every year end guitar mag poll for best solo.
