Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG and the guy who is apparently incapable of spelling out "please"? I'm going to cut him. Seriously. He can apparently only type "pl."

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

ita, insent.

Misinterpret it for maximum embarassment (his). People, place, placate, plate, platypus, pleasure, plankton . . .

You would be tragically wrong.

And this just made me think of tragically lickable John. Mm.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And this just made me think of tragically lickable John. Mm.

Ah. Yet another reason I haven't gotten much done today.

Because it's a better option than flying to Chicago and bludgeoning the people I'm working with.

Outsource. I've got some time free this afternoon, plus some residual rage from last week that I could stand to work out on someone.

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.

Timelies,

Welcome back, Aimee.

Can this day be over yet? Working the help desk this week and it's IT Week, so in addition to all the normal tech support calls, I'm getting all the calls from people who can't figure out how to do the IT Week activities on the Intranet. Couple that with the majority of the activities involving a mailto link at their completion and for some unknown reason about 10% of our users PCs absolutely refuse to open Outlook from within IE, despite all the settings in Outlook and IE saying that Outlook is the default mail client and the one to use, and instead try to use Outlook Express, which of course is not configured because we don't use it. The only solution to this problem so far seems to be to reinstall Outlook. The old change the settings to something else, reboot, change them back to what they should be trick that often works in cases like this isn't cutting it. And I have 4 more days on the phones to look forward to. Ugh.

Hee hee hee! I love this. "Gee, I'm so sorry -- I thought you were referring to a platypus...."

Curse him for being so improbably attractive!

And I'd just like to say to the tape vault making my day more hellish than it should be: don't MAKE me come back there and POWER CYCLE YOUR ASS again. I guarantee you'll be feeling raw for days, li'l buddy.
