2 children eh? Isn't that .3 children above national average? What's the national average these days? There are children in Romania with no dogs. And your children will have one for each of them.

Could mean I'm out of a job - once again they are buying us for the other divisions and they have no real need for us.

Seems like these things always bounce your way in the end.

Here is what an email from our chairmen said just seconds ago:I know you are all reading and hearing all sorts of things about our Company. I know all of this is probably some part exciting and some part disturbing - as by the way it is to me. Here's what I can tell you. For some time now we have been trying to solve the structural dysfunctions in our relationship with Vivendi/Universal. These have grown as consolidation and concentration have escalated in the media business and as our Interactive businesses have taken a leadership position. While it's best for potential transactions to have the cloak of secrecy for all sorts of obvious reasons, both V/U and USA have formally acknowledged we are in fact 'having discussions.' So, we are. And they continue. And they are very complex. And, no 'deal' has been consummated, though I do believe we will either do so or not within a short time frame.In the meantime, please know that I feel complete responsibility for both the shareholders of USA and for all my colleagues in our businesses...and I intend to do only what's right for all concerned.

Oh stop it nerd. I guess I'm not getting laid off, I would have by now. Oh well, I have to set my computer up at home so I can check in on my OVER TWO WEEK break.

Two weeks. How will Random house survive?

theres enough people doing nothing to take my place and make sure nothing gets done. When I worked at Scholastic with Peter, we used to wonder how any friggin book got published with people like us working there. Peter, shit I have to call him.

You're not? That's such a shame. I hate this weather. I'm so friggin' depressed. But I'm whining, aren't I?
(Fri Dec 14, 2001 - 3:54:43 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Depressed? I'm sorry. Would you like to talk about it?
(Fri Dec 14, 2001 - 3:55:20 pm)
Heruka:
No. Not really. I don't understand it at all. Things aren't bad. I'm ok. Life is grand. Are there any movies out that are any good?
(Fri Dec 14, 2001 - 3:56:52 pm)
Chewing Wax:
There must be. I thought something looked good. What was it... Oceans 11. Maybe it looked good.
(Fri Dec 14, 2001 - 3:57:56 pm)

I'm depressed a lot too, you'll figure it out. I have a fun weekend lined up though.

The last movie I saw was that stupid documentary on gay Hasids and Othodoxes. Not so great.
(Fri Dec 14, 2001 - 3:59:27 pm)
Heruka:
I've seen Oceans 11. Why watch it again with lesser actors?

Shallow Hal is supposed to be good.
(Fri Dec 14, 2001 - 4:00:04 pm)

Yeah, I've heard good and bad about Shallow Hal. Looks ok to me.

We'll come up with something. Maybe I need Prozac.

Vanilla Sky got mixed reviews. CNN hated it. NYT loved it.

You need booze.

If you go on Prozac, you will have no desire for sex at all. Not at all.
(Fri Dec 14, 2001 - 4:04:01 pm)
Heruka:
Really? No sex? I burnt myself setting candy corn fire today.
(Fri Dec 14, 2001 - 4:05:49 pm)
Heruka:
candy corn ON fire.
(Fri Dec 14, 2001 - 4:06:05 pm)
Chewing Wax:
why?
(Fri Dec 14, 2001 - 4:08:04 pm)
Heruka:
Cause I'm insane. Suger when burning acts like sulper. Harder to get started. But once it does, I can burn the whole piece away. Kinda cool.
(Fri Dec 14, 2001 - 4:10:46 pm)
Chewing Wax:
I never thought of trying that.
(Fri Dec 14, 2001 - 4:14:20 pm)
Heruka:
I think my depression is nothing more than me trying to escape the simple fact that I have to do something with my life. My life is fucking great. I've got the world at my fingertips. Escapism. How sad.

What are you going on about?
