Virus Alert
May 27th, 2003 · 2 Comments
Several times over the past week I’ve gotten email from “big@boss.com”. It has a very normal subject line and every time I’ve opened it, not thinking.. or thinking of my cousin’s cat named Boss. .. like he has his own domain now? Anyway, the email contains a .pif attachment and from what I can tell from my 2.9 seconds of Google research, it is a virus. Beware.

Losing Lisa

The Girls of IT: Lisa, Danielle, Rachelle
It’s Lisa’s last day at TMP.. ahem… Monster and the front-end developing Girls of IT who sit in the Creative Center are now faced with the threat of becoming The Girls and The Boy of IT. That pretty much blows our plans of producing a sexy, girly, techie calendar to market to programming nerd guys or on ThinkGeek. Bah!
I wouldn’t really complain if a guy was hired as Lisa’s replacement, just so my personal list of requirements were considered (listen up, Mike I.): single, male, straight, handsome, 24 – 33, intelligent, funny. There, go find him! Please?
Seriously, women are very scarce in our development group. Now there’s me, Danielle, and Mary, and about 11 men. On second thought, maybe I shouldn’t be complaining about the ratio! Good Luck, Lisa!
p.s. Don’t ask about the bow in my hair. Larry doesn’t want to be reminded.
p.p.s. Does it look like my hand is reaching all the way behind Danielle’s back and touching Lisa’s shoulder?
Spellbound
May 22nd, 2003 · 5 Comments
Every year 9,000,000 kids compete in spelling bees in the United States. 249 of them make it to the National Championships in Washington D.C. Spellbound, an Academy Award-nominated documentary, follows 8 of them from their diverse homes through to the competition. The amount of work and time that these kids and their entire families put into learning the spelling of words is amazing. During the competition, the second half of the movie, I found myself holding my breath several times as one of the kids struggled over a difficult word. It wasn’t all tension, though. The theater was roaring with laughter through much of the film. Who knew the quest for the national spelling bee title could be so compelling?
p.s. i love ‘ino.
