Murdered another phone.

This time it smacked the edge of a sewer grate at high speed. Missed going in by millimeters.

Ah, well. Maybe the company will stop providing me with phones (Grin)

Alternately, they’ll make me put it in an otter box full time, which does protect them, but it is, for cumbersomeness, like wearing a condom made of an actual 6 ply steel belted radial snow tire.

I did so well for fifteen years, then two in a month.

Nicole Mitchell

Has apparently been fired for being a member of the reserves. The case has yet to go to court, but the Weather Channel dumped her like a hot potato when it found it couldn’t coerce her into leaving the reserves.

None of this comes as much of a surprise to me, she had several things against her from the start: She is apparently extraordinarily well educated, she loves her work and has a serious interest in it- she’s Captain Major on one of those planes they deliberately fly into hurricanes, so by most accounts, that would give her balls bigger than the whole staff at NBC and it’s subsidiary, the Weather Channel.

I would not be surprised if it comes out that she didn’t drink an adequate amount of Gloebull Warmening kool-ade. Anyway, she’s suing TWC, and I hope that she wins, and I hope that the settlement (After paying out her contract) goes right to the military programs that the eunuchs at NBC despise so much.
