OMG, I'm so cranky about the fact that now I have econ homework every week, when we never had it before the midterm. Especially because as far as I can tell, the homework problems vary between being copy-from-the-book answers, and problems that are more complicated than either what's in the book or what we did in class. I am IRKED.

Man, I had a great 10 days or so of not being irked by school.

Also, for anyone needing a splash of schadenfreude, I direct you to the wonderful world of wank: [link]

Where fandom makes Anne Rice look sane.

The scientists win.

As the lackey to real scientists, I ask: will they be able to survive a week in the world of bureaucracy and actually finding-a-pen-that-works without you?

If the answer is "yes", then your institute probably managed to invent a new breed of scientists, much superior to any kind I've ever seen before, and if that is the case, much like Nutty and Theo's skillfull hacker, then they deserve to win.

Aimee has a short attention span.

I forgot about the filming.

They just blew something up.

I need another new chair.

That's more realistic, but I still have a fondness for the original with a jaw that takes up half its total body length: [link]

However, director Joe Wright is unperturbed by the criticisms: "They can go jump in a lake."

I think if I were making a movie whose primary audience is Jane Austen fans, I'd try to be a little more politic when responding to the criticisms of the Jane Austen Society in North America. It's not as if he has any explosions or pole-dancing shots in the trailer to pull in general moviegoers.

The scientists win. I am now broken, defeated, a shadow of the secretary I once was.

Whereas I have been broken and defeated by the stupid and incompetent people.

Secretary's Day is April 26th this year. They better start saving now.

Our system won't accept any password that's the same as any of your previous 24 passwords. It's a huge PITA.

apparently, you can fool that algorithim by moving the number around i.e.

buffista1
1buffista
buffista2 2buffista, etc.

One Buffista, two Buffista, three Buffista, four
Four Buffistas make a bunch and so do many more.

That's the one I have. (Yes, someone gave me one as a prezzie. Yes, I also have a plush Gilly, but I'm probably going to send that to my grandma, who cracked up laughing when my dad told her about it.)

I don't want to be at work today. Not that I have anything to DO, mind you, but I still don't want to be here.
