This week marked my fourth year at my current place of employment. One of my coworkers found it necessary to go out of her way to send an e-mail to remind me of this dubious anniversary this afternoon. Uh huh...thaaaanks for that.
I found a birthday present idea for myself. ;)
As I was sitting on the couch tonight reading an old edition of one of the local free daily publications, I heard this incredibly loud bang. It sounded like a house exploding. We've had incidents before of neighborhood kids setting off bottle rockets and detonating small bombs at the park up the street, so my husand went out front and looked to see if there was anything amiss on the block (that's nothing - if he even thinks there's a fire somewhere in the neighborhood, he gets in the car and goes looking for it...). I turned on the tv in time to see live coverage of the space shuttle touching down at Kennedy Space Center on the other side of the state. That boom was the sound of the shuttle entering the atmosphere upon descent. It was actually kind of cool. I even called my son over to watch it. He was less keen than I was, and wandered away when the disinterest set in.
But speaking of Big Bangs...
Physics professor: Hey! Listen up! I'm tired of some of you walking out or ignoring me when we talk about the Big Bang Theory. I'm not telling you God doesn't exist, so don't get your panties in a bunch! You! Sit down! Let me finish!
