Aha, so mental illness runs in the family, that explains a lot.

Just kidding, does she have a family? It sounds like a very expensive operation that might take months of preparation, even for an experienced climber. I hope they have good weather, and no bears.

No family, just a boyfriend/partner who shares her hobby.

They both teach at MIT, so they have the summers free to do this stuff. They really take the attitude that they work to make money so they can climb.

Ah, young, healthy, with time and resources, to do the things we read about and say that's so cool. Even things we say, nope, that's nuts, we admire others for doing. The kind of things that give an adrenaline rush, and give parents ulcers.

Got a letter from Publisher's Clearing House telling me I've practically won $5,000 a week for life. With odds of 1,700,000,000 to 1, I'm a shoo in.

Oh, and I get to name someone else to receive it for their life, after I die.

On a long enough time line, the survival rate drops to zero.

My boss - of less then a month - told me he is really setisfied with my work and really happy he hired me, compared me to employees who have been working there for years and how they still didn't get a lot of aspects of the job that I got instantly... He is already taking me advice on stuff, integrating my ideas for improvement. And I love the work environment... My own office, an AC, a fridge, a window to smoke from, and being allowed to bring my own laptop and do my own thing on low-stress times. Honestly now my fear isn't loosing it, it's getting too comfortable in it.

Also, the tagline under my nick here.. Not sure who is writing this or if it's a random generator, but I keep reading it as "knight of the ovaries"...

Also #2, this conversation:

I finally found a work-around for printing B&W text when a color ink is out in my Canon printer. Happy dance.
