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.
I got 10/12 on the Dickens quiz, owing to missing a detail on Dickens's childhood and to never having read Oliver Twist. I'm not sure how I've managed to read Dombey and Son three or four times and OT never. Probably sheer laziness.
I am, probably foolishly, clinging to Typo's 3). Also despairing over 1) and 2).
Just got an e-mail from someone I've never heard of before, asking if we can't change the name of the system, because he finds the name we're using "kind of a mouthful."
And how will you respond after you stop laughing hysterically?
Project must be sent to Portland at noon my time. Just got an e-mail from someone I've never heard of before, asking if we can't change the name of the system, because he finds the name we're using "kind of a mouthful."
::speechless, overcome with sympathetic bludgeoning impulse on Dana's behalf::
And how will you respond after you stop laughing hysterically?
I don't know -- there are so many different felonies I could commit.
Tell him the hamsters who man the search & replace engines are on strike in solidarity with SEPTA.
What? It's an answer suited well to the question.
Dana, if it were me, I'd ignore it, since it doesn't come from anyone you're worked with before. I don't know if that's an option or not.
In honour of my Muslim co-worker, Happy Eid! it's the end of Ramadan and time to eat!
Happy Eid! There were many guys all dolled up on their way to the masjid in my neighborhood this morning.
My coworker brought in lovely baked treats and we're going out to lunch together. Yum!
Huh. I had strep almost non-stop as a baby.
Me too, there was much discussion about my tonsils and whether I really need them. I still have them, though.
As for cranberry sauce, we do the canned jellied stuff (but the classy one with whole fruit). We leave it in the can shape. No one eats it but my mother, and she frequently forgets it among the plethora of other food on the table. She will suddenly leap up, crying, “the cranberry sauce!” and we laugh.
Speaking of thanksgiving, what should I make for dessert this year? Mom makes dinner, and I make dessert. I always make carrot cake, cause my dad loves it. A few years ago, I got bored and made chocolate cheesecake too, and my mom loves it. Now, I bring both, and I’m bored with both. I have decided that I will tell them that I will make one for Thanksgiving and one for Christmas, and then a dessert of my choice. So, what else should I make?
