Good lord.

I think you need to put up a biohazard sign on the user's door/cube.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

The problem is that Sun type 5 keyboards have a special connector on the end that no one manufactures any more.

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

Something about a combination of acetone and a hairdryer. I'm not entirely sure, was laughing too hard to ask.

WTF? Was he trying to pass this off as some kind of bizarre accident?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Holy christ, Tom.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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.

Trust my rage

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm amazed that the dude continued to type on it for that long. I mean, where exactly is the tipping point between "I'm spending hours putting my hands all over nasty reeking slime" and "time to call the help desk"?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Keyboard -- ick.

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

It was when someone else had to type something at his desk, and refused to do so.

"time to call the help desk"?

And I'm wondering -- why call the help desk? Clean it your damn self.

It's not like I take my car to Toyota when it gets dirty, and demand that they wash it. *I* got it dirty, *I* clean it (or pay to have it cleaned) (or don't clean it at all, which is the simplest solution).
