Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.
Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.

Oddly I was in my favourite pub last week playing a game of backgammon with a young female physical fitness instructor. She'd perhaps had a little bit too much to drink but she was saying pretty much the same thing - that real men (I presumed she meant me and my friend) were hard to find these days. The odd thing is she's married to an actor who's a real laugh but extremely effeminate and who was sitting at the same table. She also had a small male dog with a coat that had it's name in sparkly beads. Go figure...

We could almost have a small competition to see how many words you need to alter, move or delete in order to construct a real sentence starting with this random sequence of words

not always

for instance, right now i don't have the kind of deep pain in my jaw that only a root canal would cure

touch wood that moment won't come again for a long time

Perhaps then we always do not want what we do have at the moment.

I think....

[Thrasymachus]

maslow says we always want. satisfying one set of wants just leads us to our next set of wants.

anywho. I just realized I am one of the Bobs. I have been interviewing people in this company we bought for their own jobs. how can i live with myself?

[pootle flump]

Until Self Actualisation.

[Thrasymachus]

i always forget you have a social science background too.

I am out of gas and ready to go back to bed. Both grandmas dying in the hospital, my consiglierie caught a charge last weekend and might be going away, my superboss is talking about quiting, her super boss has been reassigned to Boston, we are about to lose another A player over some BS, I still have not found time to buy a car and the newish manager of the c# developers keeps messing up the deployments of my dlls in the test environment.

Sean,
The sun is going to come up tomorrow, and melt the rest of the snow, the trees will have leaves next month, and the people who you are interviewing must have redeeming qualities, otherwise the company would not have been worth while buying.
