I looked through the clueless clients and they don't seem to have the issue I've had with several clients: they want Web pages that print out better. Not a printable page; just ones that look better when they do what they apparently normally do with web pages--print them out and then read them. The actual instructions they gave me were, "Put this part on a different page." After several e-mails, in became obvious they just wanted that part to print on a different page.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ah, like Lloyd Dobler "I don't know, but at least I know that I don't know. You know?"

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
One of the quotes I found epitomizes the "want everything for nothing mentality":
Client: I want excellent work
Me: uha
Client: I want very fasst work
Me: Uha
Clent: and i want very very cheap work
Me: as i roll my eyes, look back at the client and exclaim sarcastically .. YEAH, SURE.. you want fries with that?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I like the woman whose husband had to explain vertical and horizontal.

I've worked with several printers who had this posted over the front desk: "Good. Cheap. Fast. Pick two."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
MM, and anyone else in LA who might have missed it -- well, everyone missed it, since it was Weather Watch for two hours.
Jumping forward to say:
Wait, is this about Deb's piece, which I thought was nice and saved on Tivo? Damn.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

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

Ayup. On the up side ... okay, so it's raining a lot. I got that. TWO HOURS WORTH OF MORNING NEWS, THOUGH? Most of it seemed to be reminding you to not go stare at the strange water in the rivers.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That thing that was so scary that I couldn't talk about it and that I found out about on Friday afternoon when I couldn't do a damn thing about it either? Worked out.
Yay!!!!
Ayup
Phooey.
