Gahhh. I have about 48 hours' worth of work to do in the next 24. Also,
my boss is a complete ass. Just in case I haven't mentioned it before.

And hope he/she doesn't doesn't Grex.
IBB I bought an SATA HD and didn't know it required a different power
connection than that used with ATA drives. So now I have a drive and
no way to power it. B-(

re 81: I would argue that "living in sin" with a married man could/would and
perhaps should still be considered "scandalous", or at least wrong.
I've said it before, I'll say it again: there's too much cheating in the
world today.

"Living in sin" is a nice concept if you subscribe to that particular
system of beliefs. A lot of people don't. But it doesn't imply adultery or
non-monogamy.

richard's original post:
"IBB Katherine Hepburn died on Sunday. Not only was she one of
Hollywood's greatest stars, but she was a feminist well before her
time. She was living in sin with a married man, Spencer Tracy, for
many years during a time when such arrangements would have been
scandalous. She didn't care what other people thought, she did her own
thing. Katherine Hepburn was cool.
Also liked the story that she won a record four best actress academy
awards,and never showed up to accept any of them. When Hepburn won
for "Lion in Winter", a friend went and picked up her oscar at the
ceremony. She told him to just drop by her house, put the statue in a
paper bag, and stick it in a cupboard. Two decades later, this friend
was visiting and remembered doing that. He looked in the cupboard and
the oscar was still there, in the paper bag. Hepburn had never looked
at it, much less had it engraved.
She was one of a kind. RIP"
don't see any misspelled katherine hepburns...

Katharine vs Katherine (a - e)
If she was living with a married man, he was probably not also living with
his wife, meaning they were at least physically separated but not divorced.
Divorce used to be more difficult.

IBB famed children's author Robert McCloskey died today at age 88.
McCloskey was the author of one of my alltime favorite books when I was
little, "Make Way for Ducklings" I love that book. In fact I gave a
copy of it to my little niece not too long ago.
RIP

(While there are many spellings of the name, each holder usually uses only
one spelling. Using a different spelling is incorrect. I don't know how Ms.
Hepburn spelled her name.)

(FWIW, it's spelled "Katharine" in her New York Times obit and everywhere
on IMDB. I think we can assume that this spelling is correct and others
are not.)

Richard, "Sarah" and "Sara" are both correct spellings, but you'll get
beat if you spell my name as "Sara".
Get it now? :)

Yet another job rejection.
I cannot take this anymore.
All I want is to support myself. I'm not sure why this is apparently too
tall an order.

Keep at it, bees. It gets really tough at times, but if you keep
slogging through eventually you'll eventually get the one call that leads to
something.

You've got *lots* of company - unemployment hit another new high this
past week. Every day, though, a few folks *do* get jobs. Remember
that you've got to keep playing to win, and that the slim odds are the
fault of the house, not you.

Trish, have you tried employment agencies/websites? Also, I forget the
name, but there's a government agency that provides free job search
assistance helps with things like resumes, interview skills, etc.
Also, check with your college/university Career Planning & Placement
office. Even if your a former student, they often still provide their
services.
Good luck.

I let my bike idle in the hot sun for too long today, which ran the
electric fan and drained the battery to the point at which it wouldn't
start the bike when I wanted to come home tonight.
I tried push starting it by running down the ramp and popping the clutch
into fourth gear (the highest), but to no avail.
I asked some co-workers for help jump-starting it, but they had no
cables.
Finally, I improvised and grabbed a couple of guitar cords from the sound
shed at TOP, and using them as cables and with my two co-workers holding
the ends in the right places in lieu of clamps, I successfully got the
bike running.

resp:101 Indeed. I spell my name "Jonathan," not the alternate and
uncommon "Jonathon," and certainly not the blatantly wrong "Johnathan".
p.s. we spell our daughter's name Sarah too, hence some confusion in
the past ;)
