I caught the last half of HIMYM last night. NPH could not be more adorable. I may have to break my "no sitcom" rule and start watching it.
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

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.

The Nipsey Russell news is intellectually sad for me. Ronnie Barker, on the other hand, was part of my childhood TV, and may he rest in peace.
Crap, I hadn't heard that. Is the other Ronnie still with us?
ETA, I see that he is.

The other day didn't even have that going for it though, right?
Yesterday. Huh. Yesterday, yeah, the floor shook all day and I ran out of smokes. People were stupid. It was just like every Monday ever.
Yeah, right after that, my computer spontaneously rebooted.
It's sacrificing itself so you can make your escape!

Uhg. Meeting shortly in which I'll probably be asked why something can't be done, and I just know it can't. Someone else was supposed to explain it (and told me he would, but I'm not sure he did.) Anyway. FUN. It's just the developers trying to take over everything in a prelude to their division trying to take over the hardware. @@

My IT guy told me yesterday that he does not have a computer at home.
Does that sound right to you?

Not really. But then, I'm a web developer who has dial-up at home, so my room to talk is pretty much closet-sized.

He also said "I'm on the computer enough as it is," at which point I knew I was talking to a crazy person and got the hell out of there.

I love Overheard in the Office for introducing me to new techniques of minor torture.
HR Manager: Hey guys, I'm starting a new club in the office. Do you want to join?
Employee: Um sure, what kind of club is it?
HR Manager: It's a club for people with Wham!'s song "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" stuck in their heads. Congratulations, you are all now members!

Employees: We're starting a club of people who want to beat the HR Manager to death and we have more members.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was talking to someone yesterday who can't sit at a computer for more than an hour without getting cabin fever, and who can't read a book without falling asleep. I've never heard them talk about TV.
