The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Had a dream about you last night. You moved to Amsterdam and we came to visit you. You lived up a very very very steep mountain in a dormitory type place. I could see the Matterhorn from where you lived and there was a fire drill.

Huh. So we all got stoned and saw things that weren't there?

is Perkins about?

Msbelle, I am not really here. Work ate my head, and soon I have to go to harassment training. Hopefully I will be here more about 4:00 my time. I posted something in LJ a few minutes ago though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have to go to harassment training

You know, in the old days, we just had to work out how to harass people all by ourselves. Now you can probably get certified.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

nice attempt at being coy there, ita. We all know you have advanced certification.

I've been told by more than one employer to harass more, so I fear that's not the deal.

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

Doesn't the krav center give out belts in harassment?

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

I know I'm out of the loop and everyone else may already know what this refers to, but I've gotta say, "Teen arrested; Girlfriend safe, role unclear" is not a real information-conveying headline.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I didn't know Burrell was quite so bloodthirsty.

Thing is, I'm not. Not usually anyway.

But I now have yummy coffee from Peets, so things are looking better even if I still have mushy brain right now on account of time needing to pass before the caffeine hits.

Also Perkins reminded me. I need to go do silly online harrassment training. Lame.

You know what people should totally do? "Accept changes" on documents before they publish them. Yeesh. Especially if they're templates.

"Accept changes" on documents before they publish them.

Oh, ugh. Our system just changed so that the default is to open documents with all changes displayed, which is proving to be kind of a pain in the ass. But at least people have stopped having "what did you do to my document?!?" freakouts when they open it and find generations of changes displayed in all the colors of the rainbow. And it's probably good discipline to get in the habit of doing that anyway.

It's also defaulting to "Reading Layout" which is really annoying the crap out of me, but I haven't managed to reset it yet.

I'd never heard of "Reading Layout" so I hit F1, tried it, and ended up with an elevated heartrate. What's the point?
