- China is hot as hell
- Charlotte is hotter than hell
- No way, China is totally the hottest
- You're crazy -- we're melting over here
- You're a jerk
There are a few other things going on right now. "Wedding Crashers" is hysterical. Dana and Troy are about to celebrate one year together. Monica leaves for China in 11 days.
At work, we're 10 days away from launching the project we've been developing since November 2004 (no, not 1994 as I previously typed -- how do you drop an entire decade?), and there's still a long list of issues left to fix. This is not normal for us -- the final weeks of a project are supposed to be smooth sailing. But for whatever reason, we dropped the ball and are paying the price for it.
I talked with my manager today and explained that I can't sustain this pace into the future, and I think she understood. My personal goal for the rest of the year, at her suggestion, is to turn off the work computer by 5 p.m. and not look at it again until the next day. I forsee complying with the spirit of this rule, but not the letter of it.
An update: Wikipedia may have rejected my suggestion, but their rejection is now the #1 Google search item for the very thing I was suggesting. Confused? Join the club.

An 11 year project cycle? This thing better talk/walk/think on it's own, and do the tidying up as well.
We need to get up during the "summer of Stohler!"
Wow -- how did I lose an entire decade in there? I mean, it's one thing to forget the day or the month or even the year, but my mental calendar was 10 YEARS off. Shiyit.
