A friend of mine had an internship thingy up in Ketchikan. She's also a really good photographer (those who have seen it, she took the Prague castle picture on my wall) and had so much to work with there.

I've got what I think is an undergrad telling me that the formula for coordinate conversion between hms/dms and decimal degrees used EVERYWHERE ON OUR PROFESSIONAL SITE is wrong. Um. Anyone know of a good site to show her she is wrong like a wrong thing? I can't google fershit today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Just general whininess, which a Klondike Bar has failed to cure!

Bah.

I will be working clothed. It's a thing.

Well, sure, in your office. I'm just saying that is not what separates the freak from the non-freak.

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

Well, sure, in your office.

And in my home, for the record.

I'm just saying that is not what separates the freak from the non-freak.

It's on the list.

Near the top.

What would I do for a Klondike Bar?

Heh.

Damn, I wish I had a working freezer, I know of no place that sells Klondike Bars individually.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Just general whininess, which a Klondike Bar has failed to cure

That's unpossible!

Looniversity crap, or general trapped-indoors-on-a-lovely-day malaise?

My own whininess: I am dreading going in to work. Assloads of typing to do, and it's not like I've been slacking off (more than usual) this week either. It's just that all the talky people I have to type up this week are very talky, and the stuff that usually takes 45 minutes is now 3-4 hours a day. Which, since I still have another 6 hours' worth of work a day anyhow, is fairly disastrous.

But at least, for now, I'm at home, slounging around in my prettiest pajamas, and at 4:00 I get to take a short break to trot around the corner to the circus camp and watch Emmett do trampoline work. It's not a Klondike bar, but it'll do.

I should strip for the call, just on principle. What fun is working from home if you can't be naked??

when I worked at home, I took a perverse pleasure in tallking to people in my jammies. The more important you were (or thought you were), the less I bothered to dress.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Ah, memories of my first on-campus interview during law school. I was wearing shorts and a polo shirt, barefoot, and hadn't shaved that day.

The firm had canceled the physical on-campus interviews but called me and conducted the interview over the phone.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Muppets Statler, Waldorf review movies

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- Curmudgeons don't come much more lovable than Statler and Waldorf, the grumpy old men who offered unsolicited and witty comments on "The Muppet Show." Now the puppet duo is getting a regular spot on [link] to share their inimitable reviews of upcoming films with online fans.

"Statler and Waldorf -- From the Balcony" kicked off Thursday with their remarks on Friday release "Bewitched" and "War of the Worlds," which opens next Wednesday.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I've sat through a conference call in the office with no pants on.

Only once though.
