The Summer is finally coming to a close. Today is Labor Day, of course, and I came to the office thinking to just hang out in some peace and quiet and do some work at a more leisurely pace than what I can typically accomplish on a regular work day -- unfortunately, the air conditioning in the building is turned off, and it's pretty nasty in here. Also, my computer is acting up for some reason -- it probably needs a clean install. To try to relax, I went to the web site of a favorite musician to send her a fan e-mail, but she uses AOL, and AOL's servers are rejecting the message for some reason (I don't recognize the error message, but if the activity on Denise's email account is any indication, I wouldn't be surprised if their mail servers are being overwhelmed right now with spam/virii). So I'm getting ready to throw in the towel and head back to the house.
Before doing so, however, I wish a happy thirtieth birthday to my old college bud Shaw. Thirty's a big one, buddy -- don't overdo it, and don't fret about it too much, because before you know it, forty will be right around the corner, and that will make thirty look like a picnic. Isn't that a warm, uplifting sentiment?
A happy federal holiday to all sentient life forms in the known universe -- and to all the others, the secret is to bang the rocks together, guys. ;-)

-- and to all the others, the secret is that companies don't pay to air-condition really large buildings on days when the employees are all supposed to be out enjoying themselves. *eg*

Posted by: Matt at September 8, 2003 01:01 AMIt might sound kinda nuts, but I've always looked forward to growing old enough to have silver/gray hair without having to dye it that way first. :-) I've never understood what is scary or wrong about turning the various "big number" ages... I found it a bit disconcerting when I turned the age my parents were when they had me, but that's simply because I feel bad for not having accomplished anything of value at this point (even though technically I have).
Posted by: Moggy at September 8, 2003 12:53 PMI'm just hopin that 31 isn't as a bummasser as 30. That shit was really fucked up a few days ago...
