Gah, I have spent hours yesterday and today rewriting a contractor's report. The actual sentence construction is crap, and the organizational structure doesn't make sense, AND they're making no effort to use critical-thinking skills. It's all really intellectualized and hypothetical, without site-specific data.

They're going to hate me. And they're already complaining about the budget, god knows why--from this analysis, it doesn't look like they've done that much.

OTOH, I'm kind of having fun; it's the kind of work I used to do a lot of and not so much anymore.

I had no idea! There is a growing clandestine world of pork cooks in Israel, and a retired cardiologist has put out a pork cookbook.

I did make soup with magnets yesterday, so that's something.

That's just cool. Also, unrelated to magnets, but related to -t's cookings, chopped liver sounds DELICIOUS. People should stop using it as a negative comparison. Chopped liver, baby!

Cash, your cut and color (and you!) are gorgeous.

There was more, but I forget.

... and the advantage of completely reorganizing this report's analysis section is that I have found a bunch of inconsistencies, and some assertions without citations or grounding. Oh, they are going to so hate me.

People should stop using it as a negative comparison. Chopped liver, baby!

When people say I am treating them like chopped liver, I often think, "Hmm, I don't think I like you THAT much." Because chopped liver is deliciousness.

Well, a terrible player in the major leagues is still incredibly good compared to 99.9% of the population.

Any major leaguer is one of the five hundred best players in the world, give or take the top 10% of the Japanese leagues, some guys on the Cuban team, and the top 25 prospects in the minors.

Chopped liver is gross. You people are sick and clueless and weird.

One plane trip to visit my mother I sat next to and exchanged numbers with the #121 ranked male tennis player in the world. My mother was all "121? WhatEVER."

I'm like "HE'S WORLD RANKED. I WILL NEVER BE WORLD RANKED AT ANYTHING." OMG. Just because she has her niche in the world of things doesn't mean I can't drool.

I just thought to look! My cousin is currently ranked #94 in the world in doubles!

While I was at Fry's I almost fell prey to their checkout tempters--they had photo album keychains. Luckily they only had the 120 pic ones in horrible colours, so it stopped me, but would that be a good idea? Buy my parents and my sister photo album keychains and load them up with family pics and other photos I've taken, as a stocking stuffer equivalent?

That sounds like a great stocking stuffer, ita.

Digitial, I assume? Because I was trying to picture a 120 pic album I'd want to hang off my keys and no.

Stash booze in this AT-AT liquor cabinet before the Rebels come

It's made of wood (as liquor cabinets should be) and looks rather nice.
