the lizard boy story
a 42 year old man, who co-workers called "Lizard Boy" was found dead in his apartment with a number of his big pet lizards feeding on his corpse... which led me and scott to the question of whether keeping pets that would eat your dead corpse is a good or bad idea?
some would say that it would be smart on the animals part if they realized you were dead and figured out that your body might be the only food for them. or would you rather, like in the case of dogs, have them sit by your body starving because they are so blinded with sappy dog love for their master.
either way, this is a great story, and i for one am planning on beginning the first draft of my made-for-tv movie: " lizards ate my corpse: the lizard boy story"
my resume
lookin sharp. i got tons of help and suggestions from all my peeps, and it looks pretty good (and there is a minimal amount of fluff).
poor val
did you read the train story about our pal Val? ouch. we figured that it would of even been better if she had come home and found her husband in bed with a man. then that would be the worst day ever.
wordless
i am pretty wordless today. the brain has kind of shut down that fun section because the rest of the brain is occupied with things like cobra, 401Ks, and unemployment insurance.
it's so weird at the ol' workplace because it's kind of quiet, and half the people aren't showing up, and i keep thinking that this week is some sort of vacation. but, alas.
on the upside of it all, i now have that somewhat trendy status of laid off dot-commer. woo! lookit me!
anyone out there hiring?
getting rid of the stuff
now, they have to figure out some way to get rid of all the stuff. the foosball table and the galaga machine might be tricky, but there is also about 3 cases of beer, wine and liquor that someone will have to take home.
and they have to get rid of all the funny desks we had. and the chairs. and the inflatable dog.
unemployment
the neat thing is that it appears that you can apply for unemployment via the phone, and you don't have to trudge down to the ol' unemployment office and stand around with everybody. oh goodie.
cleaning guy
i think the cleaning guy is sad that we are leaving. he just had some words with taiwai, and he looked real somber. we love you cleaning guy!
other news
balls!
