Diana --

the process is relatively painless and takes just over two hours. please be 
prepared to provide us with a blood sample and most definitely a urine 
sample. also, we suggest not eating or drinking anything for the 24 hours 
preceeding the event. this aids with the dissemination of the 
pharmaceuticals that will be administered to you intravenously. i certainly 
hope you are not afraid of needles.

once you come to, you may or may not experience pain. it depends on how the 
food is at this flying saucer place. i would recommend trying to remain 
conscious for as much of the procedure as possible. others have complained 
of discomfort before, but they were relatively easy to silence (in their 
highly sedated state).

if you do beat the odds and survive without any noticeable defects, then you 
will most certainly emerge as a shining, radiant visage of what you once 
were. friends and family will exclaim "you look FABULOUS!" you will either 
be promoted or simply get a new, better job. animals will no longer feign 
death at your presence. and the stars will align to make your car warm up 
quicker in the morning.

next thing you know, you could wind up on the front page of a magazine or 
news-type publication for your outstanding outstandingness. surely you will 
be raking in the big bank at this point. however, market forces and ecomony 
gremlins might land you right back in the same boat you are in now.

whatever the outcome, it will be an experience. and you know what?

this big 'ol journey all begins with one brave step.

see you tomorrow.

You don't need an Oracle DBA or developer, do you?

...I'm yet another dot-com casualty...

By the way, I'm planning on coming to the shindig tomorrow for the first
time.  Anyone want to clue me in on how they work?

Thanks,
Diana
