Flirting With My Student Employee guy comming back

So are you "mentoring" said student employee? It's an honorable calling.
My dissolute mate Wilko once "mentored" three Medill journalism interns at once. Well, not actually simultaneously, but in quick succession.

essential system at work should be available for use by 8am (it updates data overnight). In the last 3 months it has been available at 8am approximately 5 times. Mostly it's not available until 12 or 1.

It's one of the reasons I spend my mornings on mouthfuls.

I think it's a conspiracy to get me to buy lunch from the crappy building cafeteria, since now I have to work through lunch. I couldn't make it over to Chikubu for ramen.

For the last week or so, I've had to listen to the yowls of a cat in heat somewhere outside.

It's always something.

That's not good. How are you feeling?

I dated a guy for a while who professed to be teaching himself blues guitar. He brought along his axe for a weekend so he could serenade me. He didn't know how to play guitar, either.

He was dismissed for worse offenses, though.

Why does Amazon.com list 21 of 25 'top items' as some sort of cooking related merchandise. I have *never* purchased or searched for anything of the kind on the site.

This is the kind of stuff that makes me paranoid and causes me to help fund the EFF.

Why do some patrons of the MFA feel a need to SHOUT their stupid impressions to their companions whilst I am trying to enjoy some fucking art in peace?

I like mine moist and buttery.

I'm paranoid too. In the dim and distant past, I suddenly started receiving spam from cooking.com and other similar sites. I remember asking Jason Perlow if this stuff could possibly have come via "an accidental release of email addresses from eGullet" and I got an instant "AQbsolutely not" from both him and Shaw.

But then, as I said, I'm paranoid too

The man whose apartment is next to mine snores so loudly it wakes me up.

surely you can counter-program? some late-night polka music? preferably when you're not at home.

Usually I just bang on the wall. Honestly, I feel for the guy. It would suck to be a snorer, particularly one of that caliber. But this girl needs her sleep!!!!

Note to self: invest in some techno downloads. Something heard in NYC clubs circa 1996 perhaps.
