Yes, this momentous occasion. The summit (our cafeteria here at Pacific) has been out of lids for like 3 weeks. Yes 3 weeks. Not only were we out of lids, the cups also started to disappear. First it was the medium cups, then the small cups.. We were left putting soda into coffee cups and using coffee lids, which surprisingly don't hold cold liquids very well after an hour or so...

Anyways, they are back and I hope they never leave again... I was " " close to going to Taco Bell and snagging some lids from there. Maybe I should has just brought my own re-usable cup...

I am so a Generation X guy.....

Life-balance attracts Generation X, who were raised by workaholic Boomers. They were the first generation whose parents both worked and were likely to divorce. They invented the term “latchkey” children. For Gen X security is a primary value and self-reliance is very important to them. They saw their parents down-sized and outsourced, so they are not loyal to any organization. They are free agents who find security in managing their own careers—not in relying on a firm or others for support long-term. Generation X was not born with technology, but they are comfortable with it. They are a “bridge” generation in that they understand and usually adopt the work ethic of the Boomers, but they are closer in age to Gen Y and can connect somewhat with GenY’s culture and views. Boomers are much more comfortable with Xers than with Yers. Generation X will stay with an organization as long as it meets their needs. They do not plan to stay with an organization for the long-term. Work-life balance is a key value.

STOCKTON, United States (AFP) - A town in central California has become ground zero in the wave of foreclosures plaguing the US housing market in the wake of the sub-prime lending crisis.

With a population of nearly 300,000, Stockton has acquired the unfortunate distinction of having the highest foreclosure rate of any US city, with one in 27 households left counting the cost of the credit crunch, according to Realtytrac, an online marketplace for foreclosure sales.

Ouch.....

....And yes, Spears’ choreography, which used to really rock in a mechanical kind of way, was less than inspired. She kind of looked like a harpooned circus elephant that kept trying to move and groove because the show must go on......
