Go here and scroll to the fourth headline under "United States."

I'm not going to make you pay $2.95 for the full text. Believe me when I say it's chock full of charts and maps and such.

And I wrote it.

Tell me what you're proud of, peeps.

Proud to know you, WG.

I totally wish I were WG.

It's just a little thing, but I'm all proud of this. If you'd seen the last Hardlucy website, you'd be proud, too.

That's lookin' good, AB. Nicely done. I'm proud that packing and arranging all the utilities, cable, & internet service for myself & my housemates hasn't completely driven me around the bend. And that I've re-started work on my Daddy's sweater that I've only been working on since last Thanksgiving. And that I'm updating my journal nearly every day. I am so full of self-admiration that somebody better smack me.

Damn, WG, you know you have the ass-kicking-est job ever. And, you get to keep your Skymiles. So jealous.

I'm proud that I can throw a damn good party.

I went to the dentist today -- for the first time in almost two years -- and had one tiny little cavity. One. So little it didn't even require Novocaine.

I'm thinking I should be getting an offer for an ass-kicking new job sometime early this week. One where things like Upward Mobility and Not Being Held Back Because I'm A Single, Childless Female will be a way of life.

My (current?) boss came into my office this morning and asked me if I'd start recruiting on campuses so we could hire another staff person; out loud I was all, "yeah! I'll get right on that!", while inside my head I was all, "in the *not* sense of the word. You're about to have bigger fish to fry than worrying about replacing an entry level person, I hope."

Of course, these thoughts have to stay in my head. Something about bridges and burning, you know.
