how disappointing! it sounds like the only difference between Cambridge and LA is Debrett's v/ People magazine. I suppose that is something ...

I'm willing to bet the weather also shows some subtle differences...

you mean it's not 70 degrees with golden, winter-washed sunlight where you live?

There were some golden moments at the beginning...but you don't get to be the #1 comedy in america (and keep getting renewed) by breaking new ground....see their other currently running show (now starring Ashton Kutcher) for proof.

70 degrees! That's almost hot enough to steep tea, how can you survive?

5 degrees? Not so cold, the slush should melt quickly.

Six hour meeting, decision made, almost unanimous too. I hope the one dissenter keeps his trap shut and sells the united front.

Either way, icon_gu_b_slayer[1].gif

I had a great work week. not to harp on it, but I rock at what I do. the last of my problematic distributors have given in and are doing what I want them to do. if you were to look at my Latin American organization, there are now maybe 4 or 5 times as many people selling my products as there were when I took over, and I had to bully all my fucking distirbutors to add the sales people over the years. sales are up 500%, and will hit 1000% by 2015. like I said, I rock.

made a deal with wifey. Chanel for the right to opt out of going on on Valentine's day. a deal well struck for me - i'd rather jump into a shark feeding frenzy in a filet vest than join Hallmark lemming nation
