Oh, Dana, I hope your day will improve, and that the welding will go poof.

[Edit: 8*7=56, and it's all consecutive digits that are in mixed up places because they think this will make them pink like in Jesse's printer. They're digits, they're too dumb to know what "pink" really means, I guess.]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Do you mean arc welding? It produces a strobe effect.

No, I meant the fire alarms. At my last job, they came with bonus strobe lights. Extra migraine fun when they malfunctioned.

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

No, I meant the fire alarms.

Oh. Duh.

IIRC the strobe alarms are controversial, as they can induce seizures in some people.

That place sucked.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Do you have the extra-fun kind with the strobe lights?

It does flash, although not that fast. It also has the bonus EAR-PIERCING SCREECH, which I might appreciate were there an actual fire.

It's been quiet for about 15 minutes. I think they're lulling us into a false sense of security.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Has anyine heard anything about the terrorists arrested in LA for a 9/11 plot to hit synogogues and national guard centers? It was a blurb on the news this morning, but i haven't seen anything anywhere else.

Allyson, here everything is the disengagement and the 3 Palestinians murdered (by a Jew), so even though usually news involving Jewish-related possible targets hit the headlines here, I didn't see anything about it in every news site I checked today (and, due to the heavy news stream, I'm checking them constantly. I just don't seem to be able to stop).

Where are the settlers being moved to, Nilly? Is there some sort of housing set up for them?
