Emily, I'd try emailing the webmaster. Tell them that the Java viewer was working fine but just stopped working now, and ask if they've changed anything recently.

eta: this sounds like a server error:

Exception thrown: org.dig.iip.image.ClientException: Unexpected response text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 from htt_://www.turingarchive.org/iip/servlet/stp.iipsrv.IIPServlet?....

eta: I took out the 'p' in 'http' to avoid having it turned into a link.

So I bought my tickets to Birmingham for oh shit next week and all my procrastinating probably only cost me $20. Huh. I like clear fare structures.

Next up: the amazon (or powells) attack.

I charged my iPod and put on my punk playlist.

One would think that listening to Butthole Surfers wouldn't inspire zen in a girl, but one would be wrong.

Some nice lady sent me pictures this morning. How kind.

oh my.

I need one of those for Christmas.

And just so you guys know I do have boundaries, I recently stumbled across crime-scene pictures of three of Tookie Williams's victims, and I'm totally not propagating the link.

Also, in spite of what our gubortinator says, there are real questions about whether they were in fact Tookie Williams victims or someone else's. I would never call him innocent; he most likely directly murdered someone sometime, and most certainly murdered a great many people indirectly by founding the crips. But there is a good chance he did not murder the particular person he as executed for killing.

so, even though today is only like a high temp of 26 F, I had salad for lunch.

Trying to eat a wee bit better.

I was able to get the stamps I wanted and get the family holiday cards mailed while out for lunch. YAY!

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".

Were I you I'd remember the word "enough" should he call with any work related questions once the employment is at an end.

Dear Clients,

I know we've had this talk before, but perhaps it's time for a refresher course:

1) I am not the Department of Everything.
2) Please see above. No, now read it. Carefully. You didn't comprehend it, did you?
3) When you ask me for things that do not fall under my purview and I redirect you to the proper channels, it is a courtesy.
4) When I don't redirect you quickly enough and you miss a deadline, please stop blaming it on me.
5) I will cut you.

Thanks,
Me

Dear Coworker,

I don't apologize for startling you so badly that you screamed like a little girl just now, since you were in my office and should have expected to find me there. I do apologize for laughing at you for five minutes straight. That was probably a little much.

Sincerely,
Me
