Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Go look at mac minis. They make time go faster (although they also make apple.com load slower).

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Okay, seriously, it isn't unreasonable of me to expect to see an agenda before I go into a two-hour conference call, is it? I mean, leave aside the fact that the person leading the meeting promised to tell me specifically what she wanted from me before the meeting this time, I can't even guess based on an agenda!

Grr.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Father Time decided to pull an early April Fool's joke on you and me. Unfortunately it's not funny to us.

Katie. In a year, I have only been given an agenda for the board meeting ONCE before the actual meeting. If I don't specifically ask what I am responsible for bringing, I would never be told how to prepare.

hates them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

For some reason, people keep leaving messages for random businesses on my home voice mail. Sure, wrong numbers happen, but 2/3 of my OGM is in French. Which LA businesses do they think they're calling? I never correct them, because they're dumb.

When I got my cell phone, a business kept calling and calling to speak to ... someone not me. Eventually I called them back and said they had the wrong number, and they tried to convince me to give them my name (to prove I wasn't her? Dunno) and further contact details. They got hung up on.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Her friends will call her and say, " Your kid called me this morning. It's really hard to hang up on a baby."

My great-nephew picked up my sister's cell-phone while we were completely unaware one day. It wasn't until we heard him speaking into the phone that we realized the three year old had learned to use the damn thing--granted, he just hit the send button and it dialed the last dialed number (which, how fortunate for him was his grandmother). When he realized we were on to him, he said, "I got to go, Grandma! Bye!"

He also loves remote controls.

Allyson, perfect gift for your wee nephew: the wee mote. It's programmable for the child's favorite channels. And safe for them to use.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Jesus Fucking Christ.

Somebody mistakenly sent out an email which went out Firmwide. Thousands of people.

And NOW dozens of people are replying ALSO FIRMWIDE that they got the email in error. How fucking stupid do you have to be to add your "me too" to the mistake?
