'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I've already replaced the user's keyboard with a spare. The question is whether to get this cleaned and returned to the spare pool, or to get a new one.
The problem is that Sun type 5 keyboards have a special connector on the end that no one manufactures any more.
I'm curious how shrift's user managed to turn his keyboard into black cornflakes, though.
Something about a combination of acetone and a hairdryer. I'm not entirely sure, was laughing too hard to ask.
shrift, has it really only been two years. It seems so much longer.
I knooooow.
I think I'll clean my keyboard today.
Oh. My. God. I gagged look at that keyboard.
Good lord.
I think you need to put up a biohazard sign on the user's door/cube.
I have crumbs and staples in my keyboard, and have been agitating to open it up and shake it out. I need a hex tool though... I've done all I can (which was pretty significant) with the air tube thingie.
makes note to bring that in tomorrow.

Ah. I was wondering why you couldn't just pitch it. That makes sense. And, because it hasn't been said enough yet, ewww.

WTF? Was he trying to pass this off as some kind of bizarre accident?
Holy christ, Tom.
Share my pain! The keyboard in question.
That keyboard made me want to barf. I mean, my stomach actually lurched.
Note to self: clean keyboard today.
I'm so over Lost. I watched it last night instead of VM and regret that now. It's 50 minutes of stuff I don't care about and then in the last 5 minutes they try to grab you again to bring you back for next week.
I have to take both of my dogs to the vet this morning. I was at the vet yesterday with Toby (and Ellie), but the vet herself wasn't there so we have to go back. I never used to get why moms with small babies hated to leave during nap time. I was all "Just wake the baby up. It's not like she has anything big going on today." I have changed my tune. Not only does missed nap = cranky baby, but it means that *my* free time for the day is gone.
Thanks for the advice, Cindy. You are right - both Joe and I tend to naturally let me do most of the baby care. Maybe I can leave her with him for a bit this weekend. She does better if it's not late afternoon, so that might be a good option.
