Funny

Not much to talk about today, since last night I was pretty much stuck in class. After that I got home and played around with customizing the gallery for a bit, and then I went to bed. Well, I went to bed, and then I remembered that I was supposed to change out the water for the fish. I was going to just leave it and do it today, but then I started to worry about the fish. So I dragged myself out of bed and spent the next half hour siphoning out old water and siphoning in new water. Fun!

Anyways, I came across this today, which I thought was hilarious. There's actually a lot of funny newspaper clippings on that site - the wedding announcement for Kuntz and Dick made me almost laugh out loud.

Work

Yesterday I went to this presentation at work about our new goals program and our new bonus structure. Which was basically the same HR BS they do every year by changing all the stupid forms you have to fill out and assigning new acronyms to different things. So this year they're moving our bonuses so that instead of getting them in December, we won't get them until March, which will really suck for Christmas shopping. They're also making it so that it'll be a lot harder to get our full bonus - seriously, sitting through these kinds of meetings easily makes you cynical. And you could tell by some of the remarks from people during the Q & A session. (One woman asked, "So, why are you moving the bonuses back again? Other than so Roche can keep my money interest-free for an extra 2-and-a-half months?")

I really need to open up my own business, or something. If you have any ideas for me, please do send them my way. Oh, and some money wouldn't hurt either.

Talk about this in the forums!
