Dang it. Jennifer Aniston is officially off the market. *sigh*

$543 for lunch for two?? I think I’ll pass on that one, monsieur!

How could I have missed this story? Jim Varney dies at age 50 of lung cancer, back in February. Considering that he chain smoked like a smokestack, this isn’t surprising, really.

I almost want to buy this album just because of the title of the band’s name. An even better name for a band would be “Zorn’s Lemon”. (all you non-mathematicians are probably scratching your head at this point, but mathematicians are probably ROTFL.)

Joel Spolsky’s essay called “Does Issuing Passports Make Microsoft a Country?” is the second really good article I’ve been directed to, the first being his User Interface Design for Programmers series. Definitely another site going into my bookmark list.

I went to Burger King and ordered a Whopper combo meal and some of their new Jalapeno Poppers. I laughed out loud when the cashier said into the microphone, “A Whopper and a Popper.”

Needless to say, with our company’s stock dropping like a rock today, things look bleak for our chance at becoming overnight millionaires. Nevertheless, most people at the company (myself included) are optimistic about our future in the long run, and I think the overall mood is more jovial this week than in weeks past.

I share an office room with 12 other people without partitions. (Usually this can get distracting, although it’s great for Nerf gun wars.) As of yesterday, we have two people in the office who bring their dogs to work. Joan has been bringing her tiny pooch named J.J. for the past few weeks, while Jon got a new dog and started bringing her to work. Both dogs usually stay quiet, although J.J. can get vicious when you try to get too close and Joan isn’t around.

Today, I officially joined the FlexCar car sharing program. To make matters even better, a film crew from Good Morning America! was there filming us, so there’s a good chance I’ll be on national TV for like two seconds next week. More details when I find them out.

I’m at work today, and lo and behold, our site is down. Completely. All hosed. All on the day we were to announce our earnings. Oh boy.
