Knee deep / lite rock
Long hours...cranky and short-tempered...eating nothing but Hot Pockets and leftover Easter candy...feeling like crap, not working out...ashen faces, greasy hair, and no concept of time. All the above can only mean one thing -- CHA-CHING! Business is great!
Only slightly kidding...but we've been cranking along on some big stuff and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. We hope it's the light. If it's another train we're gonna be peeved and will probably shoot off a very terse email to the train's conductor.
On a completely different subject.... one of my new favorite things is listening to Lite Rock 105 on my way home from work. It's a nice alternative from my usual choices of WEEI ("Damon sucks! Coco rules!") and self-help audio CDs ("You are someone. You are a gift from God, and God hates Indian givers, so go forth and do something."). Anyway, the host is Art Spencer, and as you would expect, he has a very soothing voice. The evening program is called "NiteLite", and he takes calls from listeners who dedicate love songs to their companions.
The great part is that Art has the callers tell him who they're dedicating the song to, how they met, how long they've been together, and so forth, and you can tell by his reaction if he thinks they're gonna make it or not.
To wit, here's an example of one he likes...

Art: "Okay, who's this for and where'd you meet?"And here's one he's just not feeling the vibe on....
Caller: "My boyfriend Tom. He moved here from Jamaica for me."
Art: "Oh great! How long have you been together?"
Caller: "Seven years, and I love him more each day. We're soulmates."
Art: "Excellent....well I wish you luck. And here's your love song..."
Art: "Okay, who's this for and where'd you meet?"Cracks me up every time. To quote a line from Vanilla Sky, "The little things... there's nothing bigger, is there?"
Caller: "This is for Tom. We met over Spring Break in Jersey."
Art: "Oh....how long have you been going out?"
Caller: "Three months, and it's been very rocky, but I love him anyway."
Art: "Oookkay....well, good luck with that."
