skylarker, I will try to call you tonight about coming to pick up that bookmark.

At the meeting this past Sunday, they said they were down to the last $2,000 - $3,000 or so.

May Day this Sunday

I've decided that I just can't march in the parade. I'm still coughing and feverish and achy, and weak as a kitten, and I don't want to commit to putting on a paper mache raven costume and marching in that, flapping wings, for two plus hours. I am afraid I would collapse. So the girls will march, but I'm going to sit this one out on the sidelines.

(no subject)

I have just about entirely lost my voice now.

Ack.

People Trusting Uniforms

Gacked from Bruce Schneier here: An improv group in New York dressed similarly to Best Buy employees and went into a store, secretly video taping the results.

Security guards and managers started talking to each other frantically on their walkie-talkies and headsets. "Thomas Crown Affair! Thomas Crown Affair!," one employee shouted. They were worried that were using our fake uniforms to stage some type of elaborate heist. "I want every available employee out on the floor RIGHT NOW!"

Read the entry. It's hilarious.

Rob works at CompUSA. I'll have to ask him how he thinks the management would react if somebody tried it at his store.
