'The Message'
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.
Is it silly of me to think that the IT support team members, after being told by another member of the team "perkins is having problem X; she has already rebooted several times, and she is still having problem X," might have something more productive to say then "Reboot. That will make it work"?
I mean, obviously it is silly for ME to think it, since that's exactly what happened, but would it still be silly for those not in Bizarro IT world?
msbelle, I have pics you can use!
These koans, or parables, were translated into English from a book called the Shaseki-shu (Collection of Stone and Sand), written late in the thirteenth century by the Japanese Zen teacher Muju (the "non-dweller"), and from anecdotes of Zen monks taken from various books published in Japan around the turn of the 20th century.
This one cracked me up:
Ikkyu, the Zen master, was very clever even as a boy. His teacher had a precious teacup, a rare antique. Ikkyu happened to break this cup and was greatly perplexed. Hearing the footsteps of his teacher, he held the pieces of the cup behind him. When the master appeared, Ikkyu asked: "Why do people have to die?"
"This is natural," explained the older man. "Everything has to die and has just so long to live."
Ikkyu, producing the shattered cup, added: "It was time for your cup to die."

One of the lawyers in Angel's Life of the Party is Dr. Jack Hodgins on Bones. I recall liking his delivery / presence when I first saw this episode. Huh.

I'm a lot more cautious about what I put out there (=online.) I didn't used to be, because I used to be a lot less private. Now, however.... as for the old stuff out there, I've sometimes wished I hadn't put it out there, but oh well, so sad and all that. I've let it go.
