Pricci seems like a place that might suck. I don't know. I get a little nervous in any place that looks "fancy".

What training guides?

Pricci isn't even that "fancy". I'm just disappointed when I go into a restaurant expecting a good dining experience, only to find that I seem to care more about food than the people running the joint. Don't let the bastards get you down, me droog.

The training guides are user manuals that explain my application. I am a web application product manager by trade, and documentation is one of my least favorite aspects of my otherwise awesome job. The training guides are already written and have been heavily edited by me at various points in the past, but now I have to get them up to snuff for widespread distribution, and also catch them up to some changes that we've made to the app since the guides were last published. Pretty dry stuff, but life is all about tradeoffs.

HOLY SHIT! Do you watch Battlestar Galactica? I just saw an AMAZING preview for this week's show. I am totally geeking out right now. (Yes, I multitask.)

I could never get into it. I remember renting it and trying to like it, but for some reason I just wasn't feeling it. I love sci-fi, but I'm picky. I'm more into bleak, dystopian stuff (blade runner, children of men) or twilight zone-y stuff like Lost.

Maybe I'll give it another shot.

What is your web application? Like I'm going to understand it.

It's so freakin' awesome. Sometimes I can't sleep because I get so excited thinking about Battlestar Galactica. True story. I have insomnia anyway, though, so I might've been up all night thinking about something regardless.

As far as my web application....well, it's not very complicated, but it does require some backstory. It's also somewhat, ah, dry. I should figure out how to add drama and intrigue to my standard description.

Hey, answer my message.
