work, work, work

I'm impatiently waiting for the economy to improve, mostly because I'm getting real tired of being told to be grateful to have a job I don't like.
But on the upside, one of my team leads said something slightly amusing. He referred to data in an old database to be archived as being  "put out to XML" in the same way as most people would say "put out to pasture". I wonder how long it will be before English speakers have so little idea of agriculture that a pasture will be a mysterious noun.
Today I also learned that a staple remover can be used to get a old-style crown cap off a bottle. Can I put my new skill on my resume? I'm a real problem solver! "Sangria Senorial" is pretty good.

Ditto on the grateful thing. Of course now that I'm hoping to buy a house, I'm more concerned about having a job. Or at least a steady income that will cover a mortgage.

The bottle cap thing? Around here, we call that being a tool-usin' monkey. ;-D

Word. I'm tired of commuting 2 hrs per day, and being told 'other people commute farther than you'.
