		<description>We be toys - as you can see by the update, I managed to work my way out of it. I love the Buddha dude. He sits at my favorite spot in the walk between my jobs. 

Starr - it&#039;s not so bad. It&#039;s more medical writing then technical, actually can be quite challenging.

Alex - I know, the first few months (in cubico) were hellish. My window actually looks out onto one of the universities and the parklands north of the city. 

SSG - you should be, especially because I know what the rest of the year is going to be like for you. 

JK - hope y&#039;all enjoyed your long weekend.

Joe - thank god there&#039;s only one of me, eh? As you can see from the update, we made it. 

Tom - in hindsight, probably would have been better to cancel the game. 

Agnes - I&#039;m interested to see how the summer goes as well. I&#039;m used to hot and humid and I&#039;ve always heard that hot and dry is better. We&#039;ll see. I don&#039;t think I could cope if we weren&#039;t near the beach. 

FGIS - good word innit?

Gypsy - state jobs rock, but they&#039;re extremely hard to get here. Everyone knows it&#039;s a racket so the competition is fierce. 

Nathan - I know! He rarely runs away these days at all, that&#039;s what age will do.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s been gorgeous around here lately, and it&#039;s so hard to sit in an office being a drone when the world waits. 

Also, when I switched to working for the state, holy hell did things sloooooow down.</description>

		<description>Gorgeous beach photos, especially that last one. What a cutie! I spent a few days down the beach earlier this week - you can&#039;t beat Aussie beaches (though as yet I&#039;ve not been overseas, perhaps I&#039;m a little biased!). Think I&#039;ll end up living on the coast at some point in the next few years. And I too am LOVING this beautiful weather we&#039;re having, so warm! I&#039;m wondering how you&#039;ll cope with our summer though...endless stretches of 35+ temperatures, hot and dry, or worse still, muggy and humid. At least you can cool off down the beach though - jealous!

		<description>Well, here&#039;s something you can look forward to.  You may or may not know that there is a big gas shortage in Georgia, esp. Atlanta.  So...one of the oil exec&#039;s suggested canceling this weekends &quot;black out&quot; Georgia-Alabama game to prevent people from being stranded in Athens and to prevent an even larger run on the pumps.  

Perdue said it was, &quot;ridiculous.&quot;

Could the game end up like the debates, canceled?</description>

		<description>Aw, I hope you ended up getting at least most of the time off with your boy.  Jeff is home tomorrow (Friday), and I can&#039;t wait.  It just makes ordinary days better having the ones you love most home with you.  :)

		<description>Congratulations on being you. You deserve it. I wouldn&#039;t want anyone else to be you. You seem to do the job of being you pretty well, and I commend you for having the skill to be you.

Hopefully you&#039;ll still be able to have the day off and get to the beach with Z. I couldn&#039;t tell if you&#039;d still be able to do so after your update.</description>

		<description>Man, I wish I had a window that looks out on a nice city street. To break up the monotony of my grey wall cube, I have a Beaker muppet doll perched above my head with his arms lifted upwards in a victory pose. Very uplifting.

Hey Chris, since you&#039;re all caught up, can you come on over and help me catch up?
