Instructions:

1.  Open the card.  If there is money, send it to me.

2.  Send the card itself to George Bush, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington 
DC.

3.  Finally, send the envelope to my very good friend, Norman Yarvin, Yale

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

I like to listen to NPR, but once in a while they obsess with South
America. The way the newscasters pronounce Nicaragua sounded like they
were hawking a loogie. NEEEE-C*H*H*(HORK)-a-RAH-gwa. My exhuman and I
would sit in the car and hork along with them. It was hideous (the horking,
not the drive).

One evening, Saturday Night Live (U.S. comedy show) had a skit with
Hispanic actor Jimmy Smits as a new newscaster at a public radio
station. The coworkers (all Anglos) butchered place names, Smits'
character's name and then ordered Mexican food. He pronounced everything
in U.S. English, but by the end of the skit, he was driven to speaking
with a bogus Mexican accent just to get the others to understand what
he was talking about.

It was definitely an anti-peeve.

Peeve: The Armstrong roofing commercial. There is an elderly man who owns
the company and recites the phone number as if he were having a massive
gargling asthma loogie attack. Nauseating.

>May I infer then that another Peeve is not being able to leave your desk

You may certainly infer that it's one of mine lately.  I've been working
until six or seven o'clock for the last ten days or so because people keep
bugging the shit out of me.  I think that if I were only allowed to work
in peace, I'd have made it out the door most days by my nominal departure 
time of 4:00.  Having to work late because of interruptions is irritating
enough in itself, without it also being the $&(@#%!@! Christmas season
(sorry, booter).  I haven't even been able to *start* my shopping yet.
I've gotten late starts on that before, but never like this.

I've no sooner turned back to my workstation and focused my eyes on the 
screen when *somebody else* comes in.  Meanwhile, my officemate continues
her marathon durability testing of her telephone, which makes it even
harder to concentrate, and people keep coming in to talk to her as well.

Then my boss keeps jumping into everything and slowing me down by giving
me extra things to do and making it necessary for me to answer his questions 
and give explanations.  Everythime I think he's finally shot his verbal wad
and returned to his office in the building next door (long story), he comes
back again like a bad penny.  Go away!  Shoo!  Everybody leave me 
afuckingLONE!

I wish there was a storeroom or broom closet around here with an ethernet
connection; I'd go hide in it. As much as I hate working late, I've got to 
admit that I'm at my most productive after hours when this place is empty 
and quiet.

Duh.  I mean, like, people dying is people dying, eh?  Hopefully
this is not a difficult concept.

Peeve, though: people who get political about diseases.  Just
because it happens to affect mostly people like you doesn't
mean you have the right to get all self-righteous about it.
AIDS is bad, but it's not any worse than any other disease
that'd kill hundreds of thousands of young people; in fact,
it's better, because it's largely preventable.  If, say, blondes
suddenly started dying of terminal cerebral pustules - huge
bags of coconut juice gradually occluding the dura mater over a
period of years, decades even, then finally blowing off patches
of skull the size of half-dollars as they explode - like the
great shit volcanoes of Io, fourth moon of Yogurt - you
wouldn't see them drawing picket lines outside the White House
and making elephant quilts out of the scalp ejecta.  Get a
grip, kids.

Peeve2, though: The FDA.

What's so fucking new?  It's been this way forever, and likely will be
this way forever.  If you bring your kids up in such a manner that
they treasure physical possessions over anything else then you'll be
treated as above, and deserve it.  Fortunately for me mine were not

Me?  I wasn't brought up that way, and I'm milking it for all it's

You know, this DOES open up a lot of possibilities.  Members of NAMBLA, for
instance, are always looking for kids (the younger the better).  And in a
world full of starving people, a 9 pound squalling bundle of protein
could make a lot of peoples' holidays merrier...
