Thanks, Gud! Does it follow that the longer it's plugged in, the longer the battery charge, then?

It's pretty awsome. It's The Lost Weekend, if the drunk was a housewife. Oh, and what's cool is that all the women at AA are really thin and attractive.

When it's fully charged, then it's fully charged and leaving it in longer won't do any good. I think there is generally a little light that will tell you when it is completely charged, but I know not of how ThinkPads tell you this.

Wow. My company is having a kerfuffle, and fandom isn't. Is it Opposite Day?

Mile High - I never thought that the Marco-Janis relationship would end up in anything but hurt for Marco; but I had hopes for Jase-Lehahn (sp?).

The LoTR exhibit was lots of fun. Amazing costumes and weapons. Quibbles: why no Eowyn? Faramir? Not even Pippin's guard uniform?

Also, did other buffistas who saw the exhibit give in to the urge to say, "Who's the little fear demon" when coming across orc maquettes. . .because I could not resist.

If it's a ThinkPad, I'm pretty sure there'll be a little battery indicator on the toolbar. FYI, some laptop batteries won't charge to 100% even new.

Kat, why are you packing up your classroom?

Cool. I've only used it plugged in so far, but I would eventually like to use the battery, since that's the beauty of a laptop.

I have survived the post office. There was a way too strong and bothersome Kim Chee smell and a bothersome employee "helping" me with the self-serve machine. I refrained from explaining to her that I use the self-serve machine so that I do not have to deal with people, but I did not refrain from telling the customer waiting for the machine after me who was crowding me so much that she was actually resting her box on the machine while I was still using it that she was impatient and rude and bothering me. She acted as if I had killed her dog. Happy Holidays, bitch was muttered under my breath as I went to the line with my oversized and overseas packages.

Today's installment of a special place in hell is for the people who go to the post office with out taping their boxes or labeling them or as one especially annoying twit today, WITHOUT THE BOX and yet expect to have the full attention of a clerk while they get their shit ready. NO no and again I say no, you will be sent to an empty place on the counter and told to complete your packing before you will be helped. A big thank you to the clerks who do not put up with these jackholes.

Now I have a decaf peppermint mocha and all is well. The rest of the day should be peachy.

Thanks for the link, Jesse. Pretty amusing though I'm sure I'll need to view it when I'm *not* at work in order to turn the volume up high enough to get it all.
