Wish I was an English muffin, 'bout to make the most out of a toaster...
Ok, ok, Anne. Settle down. *laughs* I've been busy. I just now (4:45pm) got to the bottom of the pile on my desk. I was scared that I wouldn't get there, because we have an inspection on Sunday by some big head honchos, so our office has to be cleaned. My desk is half-way presentable, but the rest of the office is an absolute pit. We have a full day's worth of work and cleaning to do tomorrow and we work all day Sunday too. It's just getting to be insanely busy. *shakes lump of pulled-out hair in fist* Even John has that glazed over, completely-on-auto-mode look to his eyes. I made a call to Nailz (sicky) yesterday and said all of three things to her before I had to run. Today I called and we chatted for 5 before I had to go. So--ummmm...because it's been so busy, I really don't have anything to say. I have some interesting links to post, though that John passed on to me and a quiz I took a long time ago and saved for days such as today where I haven't had time to take one. YAY!
You are DNA. You're a smart person, and you appear
incredibly complex to people who don't know
you. You're incomparably full of information,
and most of it is useless.

There's some kind of circle-jerking at the heart of this bizarre symbiotic relationship, but I'm much too much in the middle of it to sort that kind of thing out.
Neat stuff about black holes that lead to questions about the universe and brain-hurt.
Something that I find endlessly humorous.
And an article Anne might find interesting for her studies in world domination (I, oddly enough, got this off my bank accounts website):

Columbian revolutionary terminally ill
Date: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 8:52:44 PM EST
SANTAFE DE BOGOTA, Colombia, Feb. 18 (UPI) -- The leader of the rebel Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, has cancer and will die within six months, according to a local journalist.
Pedro Marin, alias Manuel Marulanda, has led the FARC for more than 50 years, the BBC reported Wednesday.
Colombian journalist Patricia Lara said the 73-year-old had terminal prostate cancer.
The news has prompted speculation about who will succeed him and how it will affect the 40-year civil conflict.
"Prostate cancer is attacking him with such ferocity that the old guerrilla leader no longer wants treatment," Lara said in an article in the weekly Diners magazine.
Marulanda was last seen in public in August 2001 when he attended unsuccessful peace talks.
Since he co-founded the FARC in 1964, Colombia's security forces claimed to have killed Marulanda a dozen times.
Yet he has always escaped, building up the FARC from a handful of friends and cousins to a 16,000-strong force that dominates almost 40 percent of the country.

What a great one, eh? Ok, gotta go. Hope this will tide you over until Monday, Anne (and Nailz). I will also try stopping by your blog this weekend to leave some comments! Ciao!
