A new Restaurant Review tonight: I Tapas & Wine Bar. Short version: Yum! And Jen got to finish her ribs this time.

What will the crowd chant when the A’s move? “Let’s go Free-mont” just doesn’t have the same ring. Jennifer thinks they’ll take the Mets route with “Let’s go A’s” but I don’t like it; the “A” trails off softly and doesn’t have the staccato beat of “Let’s go Mets”, plus you lose the syncopated clapping.

Going in to the all-hands this afternoon, I’d estimated these possibilities:

Going public: less than 1%
Being acquired: 10%
Got funding: 40%
Nothing particularly helpful: 50%

(does not equal 100% due to rounding)

It wasn’t the 50% and it wasn’t the less than 1%. Apparently I’m not allowed to say anything else.

So I haven’t ever watched The Sopranos, I don’t have HBO and really wasn’t interested. But like everyone else, I saw the last minute of the last episode repeated over and over and it made me remember how much I liked Journey.

What.

Quiet, you.

Anyway, so I figured, hmm, I wonder if they’re still around. Could be fun to go see them live. The Google pointed me to JourneyMusic.com (warning: Flash, audio) and I poked around there for a few minutes before realizing that Steve Perry is no longer with Journey, and in fact hasn’t been since 1997 (though I was kind of surprised to read that they were a going concern in ’97). Since then they’ve gone through a couple of lead singers and are touring with Def Leppard.

Guys. I think it’s time to shut it down. Really. When the singer who made your songs memorable is no longer singing them, that kind of removes the reason for the rest of the band to go on.

If you are a pharmacy technician–the person who fills prescriptions, enters insurance information into the record and deals with customers picking up their meds–and you don’t know how to fill prescriptions, bill insurance or work the cash register, should you be a pharmacy technician? A Clue: NO.

If you are a shipping specialist at FedEx-Kinko’s–the person who accepts packages from customers, weighs them and enters the shipment information into the FedEx system and then applies the FedEx stickers to the packages–and you don’t know how to accept packages, weigh packages, enter shipment information or even properly apply stickers, should you be a shipping specialist? A Clue: NO.

If you work at Subway, for dog’s sake, and you don’t know how to make a turkey breast sandwich with cheese (NOT TOASTED! Why do you always want to toast the sandwich?) and no tomato, should you really be working at Subway? A Clue: NO!
