... with random phone chat with some Australians who mistook me for a British guy in Chicago.

... decided that S0000071519 was the number immediately before S0000715202, and labeled several hundred pages accordingly, and I would like to not be in jail.

OK, sometimes a more dull life has its rewards.

I am going home. This is not because I am done with my work, but rather it is because the person preparing the documents I needed to review and send out today decided that S0000071519 was the number immediately before S0000715202, and labeled several hundred pages accordingly, and I would like to not be in jail.

Once again, Math is Evil.

I commend your restraint about the preparer. Not sure I could hold back.

That Pirates of the Caribbean T-shirt ita linked, has information about the shirt, off to the right side of the photo. I must have been reading it out of the corner of my eye, without realizing, because it took a moment to process this fragment:

Orlando Bloom as Will Turner from Pirates of the Caribbean. Allow up to 5% shrinkage after washing

Narrator! You're still alive. Whup still evil?

Narrator! You're still alive.

That's a matter of opinion. But thanks.

Whup still evil?

Oye.

Boss still smell like feet sauteed in ass?

And ... I just spoke to the maintenance manager. I don't care if he's mad at Adelphia. He needs to not yell at me. It's official. He refuses to speak to Adelphia about what it'd take to fix the signal. So either I suck up lousy reception and kinda glitchy internet, or I ... t shudder ... move.

That 'bout sums it up, yup.

The Ineluctable Modality Of The Risible

Ha! One Friday afternoon when I was in college one of my friends locked himself in his apartment with a copy of Ulysses and a stack of carefully rolled joints, declaring that he would read the entire (gigantic) book in one sitting.

When we checked on him on Sunday we found him sitting on the kitchen floor surrounded by wrappers of snack foods, repeating "Ineluctable modality of the visible" over and over.

For years after that we used "Ineluctable" as a slang term for "wasted."

Har, Rick!

That sucks, ita. Can you deal with Adelphia directly at all? (I realize the answer is probably no. A friend of mine can't get cable because Time Warner would need to get into/through a building on the corner for whatever, and the owner of that building refuses to let them in.)

Can you deal with Adelphia directly at all?

I called Adelphia, and they said "have the owners call us." The maintenance guy refuses to call them, says he's doing them a favour by even letting them run cable in.

Sure, dude. Try renting your apartments with no cable TV. Adelphia is just using you, aren't they?

I'm very irritated. And the one place I looked at today was too small for my stuff, while costing $500 more. Just down the street. Not how you want to start looking, you know?
