Oh my gosh that is so awesome.
Pick a theme for this years charity podcast yet?
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

We haven't yet talked.

Oh, and a LE hard copy wasn't part of this year's auction Yoshi, sorry.

I immediately unplugged, disassembled, and had an emergency clean. I think it will be ok, but I'm letting it dry until tomorrow. If I messed it up, I have 2 tan ones aside from the 3 I have for sale, I'll just swap the black case and keys over if I have to.

Ticked: Received a company wide email stating every employee will be drug tested today. They've never done this before, which leads me to believe that lay offs are coming, and since we are a hire/fire at will state, this will be an easy way to trim the fat.

Smile: Seeing as I don't do drugs (but am around them) I have nothing to worry about. Well, I am worried about possible layoffs and a friend and co-worker once said to me "Hey, it's 420 somewhere" so he could possibly get the axe. I don't remember signing anything considering random drug tests, but I'm sure people who refuse will be let go.

I haven't peed in a cup in forever. I can't grab a cup in my left hand, and ol' righty is my wiener holding hand, and I can't remember how I did it last time. If the nurse is cute (she never is) I could ask for, um, assistance. I'll probably lay the cup on the floor and see how good my aim is.
