Alan Greenspan Got an $8 Million Advance For His Book
I googled new job and this was the most entertaining, if not entirely accurate to my situation, of the first few images. Today was my first day jobbing. I liked highlighting things on the computer different colors, I really did-no sarcasm. And I can't wait until I get my own headset where I touch a button and the phone lifts itself up so's I don't have to hold the receiver (I'm not really joking about that either). I wonder if I will like it as much in 6 months. Maybe. The thing that freaks me out is how I didn't factor in having to pay x amount of money per month for health insurance. And, more importantly, the entire concept of 401(K)s is confusing and strange. Suddenly I should be saving for my retirement? Actually, I should have started saving for my retirement eight years ago. Here's the thing. I was planning on saving money but my plan for that money wasn't retirement, it was a house or a kick ass cheese tour trip in France. Now I have to worry about how I'll live when I'm 65? Sheee-it. I wasn't as worried about my future before I got a job. Well, yes I was. It was just a different version of worry. Ah me. I'm having a glass of Cakebread Cellears Rubaiyat wine c/o the dogs' owner...and she's right, it's very tasty.

it wasn't the 2001 rubaiyat was it? cause that stuff you can only get at the vineyard. they also have a really good sauv. blanc, i would say equally as good as their rubaiyat blend.
No it's the 2005. Mmmm.
Paul, I didn't like the tone of your comment so I didn't publish it.
You're right. I'm still annoyed that you ignored my comment about roasting corn and that comes out as rudeness.
Sorry
What are you talking about?
