The word of the day: teledildonics
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You know, I rarely use the word 'phalocentric,' but I think it can be applied to 'teledildonics.'
Someone needs to invent the iTongue.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Not until they've finished their work on the iRobot.

Art Crawl!!!
Trudy -- yes, the aesthetics. . . I wonder how Dr. Bailey will react if/when she discovers the Burke/Yang relationship. Given that she kind of blackmails Shepard -- according to the promo.

Timelies and a cartful of gronk. Not a good weekend (personally speaking). Again. Meh - very tired of this. Plus the insomnia fairy thought last night was a good time to visit.
Now for my next trick, I fall asleep at my desk.

E-mails 'hurt IQ more than pot'
LONDON, England -- Workers distracted by phone calls, e-mails and text messages suffer a greater loss of IQ than a person smoking marijuana, a British study shows.
The article says that the IQ of the test subjects was tested periodically during the day. I wonder how they did that.
OK, does this next sentence make any sense?
Nine out of 10 people thought colleagues who answered messages during face-to-face meetings were rude, while three out of 10 believed it was not only acceptable, but a sign of diligence and efficiency.
So there were some people who thought it both rude and acceptable and the sign of diligence and efficiency?

I think I'd do better on the job if I were high on pot. I'd cry a lot less from anxiety, that's for sure.
Ah well. Not going to test that theory though, however tempting.

I do that to a colleague when I'm trying to get him to shut up, so I'd have to say they're right on the money.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Depends on how the phone call is answered, too -- do they excuse themselves, are they expected to be responsible for some ongoing crisis no matter what they're doing, et cetera? If it's a work beeper or cell, I'd say they're diligent.
Now back to work getting highanswering my email....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Dana, try this one. [link] They include a decent outline of their criteria, but I didn't see if they listed scores.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
