How many are double counted?

Filed under: General — Jaws @ 12:09 pm

Palm Beach County: ‘More Jewish’ than N.Y.

I’ve got to wonder though, how many of the people in this study are “double counted”–that is to say the “snow-birds” who flock to Palm-Beach County during the winter (from NY or elsewhere up North).

And when they refer to Metro-NYC, is NJ included?

Really big day

Filed under: Personal — Jaws @ 12:38 am

Sorry about the lack of blogging today….I was at work late and well, today was a big day for me!
(Besides the fact that today was payday and free breakfast day)

But I don’t wanna jinx anything, so the news will remain under wraps till it’s finalized.

MOCK HEARINGS HELP MIERS PREPARE FOR GRILLING BY SENATE… DEVELOPING…

So anyone know if Sen. Schumer is planning on holding a round of “mock hearings” again–like he did before (now Chief Justice) Robert’s testimony?

Just thought I’d ask…

On the Coburn Ammendment

Filed under: Politics — Jaws @ 11:17 pm

True, the Coburn Ammendment failed by a large margin (82-15) in the Senate today…

But interestingly enough, look who voted for it according to RedState.org: Sen Mike Dewine (R-OH)…who is up for Re-election in 2006….

Hmmm……I’ll leave the analysis of this up to the folks at the Right Angle Blog

You don’t say

(AFP) Secret US documents declassified on the eve of Saddam Hussein’s trial in Baghdad paint him as a cunning survivor who depended on guile and brutality to overcome challenges to his rule.

I’m shocked….shocked I tell you!

Moving messed up day

Filed under: General — Jaws @ 8:32 pm

Yesterday as I left work our desks were being taken downstairs in the building to our new floor. Get to work this morning, turns out the network connection isn’t working on the new floor…so no internet, no servers, nada. Not good. Nor do the phones work.

Then while our desks were moved downstairs, our files were still upstairs, so up and down we went.

Furthermore, the person who planned out how our office was going to be apparently didn’t do their math right, so we wound up playing “musical desks”…and that was just the start of the day….

The joys of moving…

Disconnected…

Filed under: Personal — Jaws @ 8:54 pm

So we’re moving floors at the office, and they decided to switch the phone lines today to downstairs.

Small problem, is that they cut all the lines in our office area…meaning that the doctors had their lines cut plus all of us Clinical Research Coordinators.

Not a good idea…especially when you aren’t planning on moving people down until at least the next day…

You can only begin to picture the chaos

(as aside: I still love work and my job)

Was he also responsible for blog comment spam as well? (Can’t hurt to ask…no?)

Commercialized Beer Pong?

As Young Adults Drink to Win, Marketers Join In

They’re now selling specific tables for beer pong? Goodness.

what ever happened to either using the table that you had, or going to a Home Depot like place and buy a nice piece of wood? Then to that add some cheap plastic cups and there you go…no?

Place to crash?

Filed under: General — Jaws @ 7:14 pm

Anyone in NYC happen to have any free floor space on which this nice blogger can possibly crash for the night?

Wow….the Met

Filed under: New York City — Jaws @ 11:57 am

Went to the Met yesterday with some friends…

All I can say is: WOW! What an AMAZING museum.

We only went through parts of it, but still it’s an amazing place with a lot of great stuff.

Most of my art museum experiences have come from the Cleveland Museum of Art (which imho is a very good museum itself)–but the Met just wowed me
