Well, the next edition of Big Brother has started. The house is still the same house, but redecorated. Much more colorful. No real feelings for the houseguests. They won their first food challenge. CBS got the reaction they had hoped when the 5 exes entered the house. An awful lot of people freaked over the situation. Should be interesting, but I'm not sure it's something I want to watch. We'll see.
Oh, here are the exes...
- Amanda Craig - Scott's Ex - 25, Bar Manager, Chicago, IL
- Jee Choe - Jun's Ex - 23, Bookkeeper, Elmhurst, NY
- Justin Giovinco - Alison's Ex - 22, Headhunter, Pittsburgh, PA
- Michelle Maradie - David's Ex - 19, College Student, Boca Raton, FL
- Robert Roman - Erika's Ex - 33, Restaurant Manager, Los Angeles, CA

Ok, short story - I was moving a computer from one cube to a common area. It was being placed underneath a folding table. I was working at plugging-in some of the equipment when I leaned in and... OUCH!!! CRAP!!!! I hit one of the cross-supports with the top of my head. And I start bleeding. Great. It doesn't stop and it hurts.
So, for the first Workman's Comp case of my career, I get driven to a local clinic to make sure it was OK. I couldn't view the wound directly, but I could tell I know had a flap of skin.
So, after getting the wound cleaned and some steri-strips applied to close the wound (a typical flap scalp lac) and getting a tetanus shot, I was back at the office with a huge friggin' bandage on my head.

The show hasn't started broadcasting yet (though the houseguests are in the house), and CBS has booted out one of them.
Brandon Showalter, a 28-year-old computer engineer from Newport Beach, Calif., got booted after he was caught trying to make contact with his girlfriend while he was sequestered in a hotel for a week prior to going into the house, and has now been replaced with the ex-flame of one of the other contestants.
Would you choose to get terminated within a week so that you can finally leave a job that you have hated since Day One, or linger-on part time to do fill-in work knowing that at least some money is coming in while in this bad job market?
