Hey, Canadian IT workers!

Convince your boss to send you on a Microsoft technical course before Xmas with Polar Bear, and you get a free X-Box! I reserve editorial comment because they're my employer, so I should be nice or be quiet.

Meow?

Dammit, now I'm sunk. I went to the Humane Society with a coworker today as she dropped off a donation. The animals had signs posted near them explaining their situations, their availability, or their quirks. I got to see the rabbits (who can die of fright, I've learned), a huge monitor lizard ("I am NOT available for adoption. Please do not open the terrarium!!"), and a dozen of the cutest dogs ever ("I need help with socializing!", or the depresso-larious "I have particular problems with men.") Even though I know I don't (yet) have the patience to get a dog, and that Vinny wouldn't want one, my heart just about broke seeing them there. They did have 5-6 cats, all old and quiet, with many empty cages -- perhaps an adoption drive recently? I'm trying to pretend that's the only possible reason.

Oh no!

Darn those 1.2 billion people! They don't need this.
