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

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

That sounds much less like fun than should be allowed on your birthday. ijs

That's pretty much what I thought. So I whined a lot, and I got a cake, and people said "happy birthday" a lot. But they didn't give me the Nano we had as a raffle prize. Which would bother me more if it wasn't the same size as the iPod mini I already have...

Well at least there was cake.

TV characters are very popular for temp names. I'm waiting for the day someone overhears a researcher refer to the object of study as That Fucker. Because you know they do.

It actually makes me a bit nuts when the media publishes the cute moniker, though I understand why they do (charm, quirk, not as boring as 2004 XR190. ) Curmudgeons with no magic get all "but they named it WHAT OFF MY LAWN " and no, they didn't. Naming is done by the IAU and it is exhaustive and persnickity and very often, rather boring so just relax.

But I'm cranky.

There's an office-wide (i.e. not just our dept.) holiday lunch party on Friday, and apparently my boss decided that would be "enough".

Oh, that is so... so... pointy-haired boss-y.

Anyone know why a Java thing that had been working just fine moments before would suddenly stop working in IE? The thing in question is the documents viewer here

It doesn't work for me in both IE and Firefox. But my computer's been bugging me the last two days, telling me I should update my Java. I think I'll try that now....

Nope. Still don't wanna work. Probably a bug on their end.
