In a few hours, I will be at Edisto Island, with no internets, and lots of beach. :-)

See y'all when I get back.

Well, now that I've shaken the Chief Technology Officers hand, I guess it's official: I am (or will be, depending on when they can dump the work on my desk) the Project Coordinator for him and the Manager in charge of our intranet/DevNet projects. I'll be moving off of the Help Desk soon, back into an office and out of this cube.

'Scuse me while I dance...

Gotta love a co-worker who doesn't call anyone to let us know that she's going to be late/out/whatever.

Even better, the cell phone number she gave us has been disconnected.

Any of the following sound familiar...?

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness of his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

All that was written about a leader named George... King George, to be exact, 231 years ago when Americans declared their independence. Scary how it fits the current George, no?

Just got a CNN.com breaking news email here at work that Bush just commuted Libby's sentence.

Yeah. Aren't we all SO FUCKING SURPRISED at this.
