Timelies,
Gronk. Stupid vents.
It's actually 31 degrees here. (23 with windchill). After the last few days it feels positively balmy. I was walking into work this morning and actually felt over-dresssed for the weather. We also got a couple inches of snow last night.
OK, why do the policy makers always make exceptions to sound policy that are a technical nightmare to implement? They keep doing this to me. I keep explaining the way the technical end works. They keep giving me nightmares.
Because they are dumb? We've had a bunch of fights about policy stuff here but since we're healthcare and thus must obey HIPPA regulations, the retort "Fine. And then you can be arrested and pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines." generally settles things pretty quick. The stuff that doesn't fall under those regulations, my boss (well, boss' boss now) is still pretty good about shutting people down over, thankfully. We still get the occaisional idiocy, but at least it's not a constant thing.
And now I'm off to a meeting about some security hardware that's been nothing but a headache since it was implemented 2 years ago. Whee.
My first reaction to Peter Jackson adapting The Lovely Bones was hells no. Then I remembered
Heavenly Creatures.
Maybe he won't fuck it up after all?

Yes, it's hard to argue with, "The law says you have to."
Kat, since I didn't like the book, I don't mind if he fucks with it. I'm curious. He can do slow and sad ... I'd like it if he could do the sort I like, with the same story.
Which would probably have book fans screaming for blood, but isn't it really all about me?
Wearing the boots to work today.
Officemate is freaking out over the snow, talking about having to leave early and what if the roads get bad and...
Predicted to be 1-3 inches. He commutes via the beltway and interstates, which ALWAYS get cleared first.
One to three inches. It's nothing (but an annoyance.)
Snowing here too. NSM with the "whee". April is far, far away. Sigh.
But if your officemate is the sort who panics over everything and overreacts, he's likelier to be in the small group of people that does get into wrecks because of light snow and rain showers.
What book was it? For some reason, that's sounding vaguely familiar.
It's Linda Howard's "To Die For," which wasn't too bad (she can be hit or miss).
Our high today is 84. Also, it's sunny.
