…that have been festering all week. I told everyone at work I’m leaving end-August. Well, beginning-September is probably more like it, given that I expect September 1 to be my last day at work.

Imran Khan, he is a Superman! Super, super, super, super, Supermaaaaan! He is a Superman! – Hassan Jahangir This is really worth reading.
