Happiness is...
Jun. 19th, 2005 11:26 pm... leaving work and spending the next hour while commuting/waiting for buses with my nose in a book.
... and listening to my iPod.
... discovering I won my Hattrick game, 5-0.
... which means I'm #2 in my series.
... overdosing on Alias.
Also, an amusing work story:
I had to call and ask for someone with my name tonight. Well, just my first name. But I get a kick out of having the same first name as others. So I called and asked for [name] and she comes on and I'm like "Hi, I'm [name] [NAME]" (emphasizing my last name to distinguish us from each other) and realized, after my intro, she'd hung up on me somewhere after that beginning and when I said "two minutes to see if you qualify".
That bitch hung up on me! And this, after I thought 99.9% of the people with my first name were NICE. (I know one person out of like, six of us, who is evil. Now I know 2/7. HMPH.)
(Yes, I didn't get enough sleep last night and I had a 7 hour shift today. Sue me. :))
ETA: OH! Check this OUT, baby!

"Anna Smajdor, researcher in medical ethics at Imperial College London, said: "Because the technique can be used to generate eggs from a man's somatic cells, gay couples could have children genetically related to both. Single men could even produce a child using their own sperm and an engineered egg."
How fucking awesome would that be, even if it's 10+ years away?!
