Aw, I finally get a chance to drop by, and you guys are all offline. Now I’m getting a complex over it. Guess I’ll just mount my horse form the left and ride away, leaving the thread open to:  
**Coldfire** – well, he should have recovered by now, surely?

Is there a Doper named **Tabula Rasa**? If there isn’t, there ought to be.

I’ve been reflecting on [inteneration](http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=inteneration) myself. Ah, such a wonderful feeling… 🙂

**ETF** , a quick search reveals that there is no Doper named **Tabula Rasa**. Although there IS one named **Rasa** … will that do?  
I predict **vanilla**.

In exactly 13 hours, I will resign my position as associate editor of my hometown newspaper. After three years, ‘tis time to move on to greener things, and bigger and better pastures.

I think what I’ll miss most is the prestige — no, wait — it’s the immense salary — no, wait — the 60-hour work week. Yeah, that’s what I’ll miss most.

Settle? Settle! Bah! First **Lobsang** tells me to DIE! now this. You people… :wally

That’s OK. **withaK** has his hand on my \*\*\*\*\* in the hot tub thread, so I think I’ll just go back over there and enjoy his company. 😛

Woo! Friskyness! I’d join in, but I think I got my fair share (and then some) of Doper friskiness on Tuesday.

Early? Its lunchtime over here! I’m in the UK - its just coming up to half past midday. I’m at my office, pretending to be a valuable contributing member of society.

Here’s a tip for ya - don’t read the boards when you’re whitening your teeth. You need to hold your mouth still and its hard to do when you’re giggling.

No thanks necessary. I know you’re greatful.

Yeah, **Angua** , I do that too.

Whee! Isn’t it nice to pretend to be valuable! I managed to convince the Dopers on Tuesday, that despite being a grad student, I was still a valuable contributing member of society. 😃
