    101 Posts

    September 25, 2008

    I missed it at the time but “Poli-ticked Off” was post number 100. I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for so long- or that I’ve managed to stay on this one blog the whole time. It’s very amusing, and somewhat depressing, to read my old posts. I’m not really sure how far I’ve come, but it is kind of nice to have a record of the path. So happy 101. Thanks for reading! In other news I dropped my fall class today. Work continues to be very busy; our CIO has big plans which sadly seem to require large amounts of work from my unit. Doing school work, and…

Then it uses that data to select the ads that appear on your pages so that they’re tailored to you. For example, if you’re single, as I am, you’re likely to see a bunch of singles ads. And I do. What other ads am I blessed with? “The SuperModel Diet” and “The Oprah Diet” I guess if you’re 29 and single it assumes you’re fat? Or does someone judge my picture? I’m actually not that offended, mostly curious. “29 and Alone Again?” That’s just low. “Tech Jobs on {blank}.com” No way am…
