		<title>Hurray for conferences</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I get to go to the MySQL Conference happening next month in April. I went 3 years ago but after that I worked somewhere where they wouldn&#8217;t pay for me to go, and then last year I was too broke from lack of full-time employment. But yay, I get to go now! I&#8217;d be more [...]]]></description>

		<title>It can&#8217;t be that hard to not like me, despite my title</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So my boss had us do this work personality test the other week, some quick online quiz that was on the intranet. I hate those things, because they always suggest that I should be a nurse or counsellor or something because I&#8217;m so damn empathic and nurturing. Yeah, fuck that shit, I hate people. If [...]]]></description>

		<title>Best cat-sitter ever</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And I&#8217;m not even biased, because I&#8217;m talking about my mom.
If my cat hadn&#8217;t been fed, I&#8217;d have wondered if Mom had misheard me when I handed her my spare keys. This is because her full service included

Giving me $100.
Driving me to, and picking me up from, the airport.
Mopping my kitchen floor.
Replacing my microwave with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Same song, awesomer video</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So OK GO put out a second video for their single &#8220;This Too Shall Pass&#8221;, this time of a Rube Goldberg machine running for the duration of the song, synced with the music, and filmed in one take:

(I blogged about their first video to the song two weeks ago).
Between this sort of stuff and Mythbusters [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jeans shopping getting scarier every year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have problems buying jeans. I&#8217;ve blogged about this before: here, here, here, and here. Jeans that fit well are hard to find when you&#8217;re shaped weird. 
And I&#8217;m shaped weird, with thighs bigger than my hips. Honestly, it doesn&#8217;t look that bad, and no guy has ever commented on my thighs being large or [...]]]></description>

		<title>I keep thinking music videos are a dying art</title>
		<description><![CDATA[But then OK Go releases a new album and another fun choreographed video, this time with marching band:

OK Go &#8211; This Too Shall Pass from OK Go on Vimeo.
If you can recall, these guys got internet famous in 2006 with music videos of them dancing in a backyard, and again on treadmills. Their new album, [...]]]></description>

		<title>No rest for the wicked</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m supposed to be in Maui right now, but I&#8217;m not. 
Strangely I am okay with this; the truth is, in my line of work (sole DBA in a big organization) there&#8217;s no point being on break when some of the databases have the same idea as you; it is better to go away at [...]]]></description>

		<title>The only thing worse than working on the weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[is working on the weekend and having to change rooms because you can hear your neighbours having sex and it&#8217;s quite obvious that they&#8217;re having much more fun than you are.
Can someone remind me what a day off feels like? Also sex?

		<title>6 months</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today marks 6 months at my current job. I celebrated this by baking cookies for my workmates; I was hoping this would bribe them into celebrating along with me, but really they were just cheering about the cookies. They even admitted it. At least they&#8217;re honest.
I did manage to guilt someone into a ride home, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beat the night</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I pulled an all-nighter last night, for work. It&#8217;s pretty rare for me these days, since as I get older, the more it really fucking sucks to recover from it. I think it&#8217;s been years since I stopped working when it got light outside. 
Disregarding eating, going to the bathroom, and commuting, I was working [...]]]></description>
