Her: "What's that CD you're holding?"
Me: "Chili Peppers. I still haven't gotten over their album from last summer."

My response might have been, "My, aren't you so over everything!"
Blah. Although I haven't seen those guys lately - they must be getting wrinkly, right? =)

Even I'm starting to like some of the songs off their newest album...but you didn't hear that from me! ;)

Thorough Performance Reviews
I'm not around much this week because it's time for the annual performance reviews at work. I'm staying up till the wee hours each night writing the reviews so that the two-day marathon of face-to-face chats at the end of the week will go well. It's a win-win: For the employees doing a great job, it's my chance to offer serious praise without it sounding phony or arbitrary. Go »At Least It's Better Than Bra

For the record, I like the person who said this and it's no big deal, but jeez.
