Dear friends,
My desk sits about 10 feet from the entrance to our lunchroom (which is actually called our "cybercafe"
. At any given time, the tv is tuned to CNN, MSNBC or Fox, which means that I've spent the morning listening to a) breathless news of a certain custody battle between a certain woman's husband and a certain woman's parents, with certain presidents and governors and Congresscritters muscling their way in for camera time; b) breathless news of a certain pop star's trial on certain charges involving certain youngsters. I'm sure that I should be paying better attention to all of this news than I am, but I am hoping that somebody, at least one of the local news stations, finds time to squeeze the following into the news cycle:
The Triangle Waist Company factory fire, which took 146 lives on March 25, 1911.
The Happy Land Social Club fire, which took 87 lives on March 25, 1990.
Oh, you poor thing. If you’d like I can get you a referral to a good lawyer and we’ll bring Luthorcorp up on charges of intentional infliction of emotional distress. This is a slamdunk case and worth big bucks!
Oh, no, Collena, I’m not deleting you any time soon. I completely forgot to go on my big rant about The Problem With Barry. Every time I saw that news clip of him muttering to reporters, “You wanted me to jump off the bridge; well, I did it, I jumped,” I yelled at the tv, “then why are you still here being a whiny little bitch?” And that’s nothing compared to what Lloyd had to say. Those Pacific Northwesterners surely do have a vivid way of expressing themselves. :D
Woo-hoo! Karen has broken radio silence, as has julesj66! Dear friends, Karen and Jules are fellow toilers at LuthorCorp. Karen endures my well-intentioned but frequently-flawed assistance—and has a damn good sense of humor about it, too—and Julie is LuthorCorp’s CLO, a/k/a Chief Lunch Officer, and Chowhound.com liaison. Hi, guys! (frenetic waving)
