I’m a jaded, and bitter twisted shell of the idealist I used to be. I’ve been though personal and career hell and back enough times to know not to trust anyone, and to honestly refer people to The Prince as career guidance book number 1. I am last man you want to trust with your daughter, let alone wife or maiden aunt, and if you fall asleep before me I will shave off your eyebrows, watch pR0n on your laptop and drink all your liquor.
However, getting this from our Comms Dept. today actually, just for a second, sent a little tiny flicker of an emotion through me.
UT Health Science Center paint shop supervisor David Coburn will be featured in the media today and tomorrow. He is the father of Lil Rounds, “American Idol” contestant. Mrs. Rounds is among the final eight contenders and enough votes could carry her even further in the national competition. Mr. Coburn took his first-ever ride on an airplane to see his daughter perform
in Hollywood. The Coburn family and friends will attend the watch party
tonight at 7:00 p.m. at Memphis Youth Performing Arts Center.
You go, Lil Rounds! w00t!!!11
(as an aside, A ride “on” an airplane huh? He’s a braver man than I. I wonder if they have external drinks service at 35,000 feet…)
Is there anything left in that bottle?
Enough. Pull up a chair. The ice machine in the corridor is OK…actually, this moonshine will kill anything growing in there anyway…
That is feel good- go Lil Rounds! I don’t think The Prince would approve of your emotional lapse.

Could I trust you to walk the dog, though?
@Sarbjit: It’s the brief moments of humanity that keep me sane :)
@HG: What’s it worth?
I’ve no idea, but the dog might have an opinion.
My god, we’ll be giving them the bloody vote next…
