VERY strongly. Using something sharp to get your point across would be good. If you can get a word in edgewise.

(and thanks - I was afraid I'd killed the thread)

Oh excellent! I got a bee-yoo-tiful new dirk for X-mas. I've been strongly discouraged from getting an edge put on it (blah blah, over twelve inches, blah blah, deadly weapon, blah blah, five to ten), BUT it has got a bit of a point to it.

Don't *poke* send materials *poke* for the conference *poke* that Toddson *poke* is not attending *poke* to Toddson *poke* just because *poke* you're too big of a *poke* git *poke* to change the name on the forms. *poke* Stupidhead! *poke**poke*

And no worries about me getting a word in. I've got mad skillz when it comes to talking. (See UserID, which usually describes my talking style more than my posting style.)

Big day for mergers...I linked to this in the tech thread, but Disney has agreed to purchase Pixar for 7.4 Billion Dollars.

That sucks for Emeryville. That sucks for Pixar really. It's great for Jobs, though, as now he's going to be a major stockholder at Disney.

Yeah, I'm wondering what effect it's going to have on Pixar's corporate culture. I always hoped that someday I'd land a job there.

My husband plays Ultimate at Pixar during the lunch hour sometimes. I'll have to encourage him to go soon and see what the peons think.

Me too, Spidra... and my pal who's been laid off from Lucasfilm already had a resume in at Pixar, so we'll see what becomes of that. Smart money sez: nada.

I'm dubious about this purchase, for I've liked Pixar since their short with the hopping lamp displaying personality. They tend to have good storyline to prop up the eye-popping special yada yada yada. Plus, John Lasseter helped to bring English dubbed Miyazaki films into ready availability. Since I spent, oh, maybe 15 years longing to see "Laputa" again, that was a very good thing for moi.

Epic, when you're done with the dirk-poking of Toddson's boss? (tell him for me, if he's so important, he should realize that conference staff will only be confused by a name that's Not Available) Couldya get in a few jabs at my latest, pleeeaze? Thanks ever so.

We're supposed to stagger leaving work today, to help with traffic in the snow. They apparently decided this at 3:30. We get off at 4:30. We found out at 4:15. We've decided we should send someone home every three minutes.

Argh.

There are times when I'm really glad that I walk to work.

Awesome. Love to break in the new weaponry on deserving types. *poke**poke**stabbity-poke*

Am I the only one who thought libkitty was going to work for the Ministry of Silly Walks?

Good lord, the Ministry of Silly Walks is no reason to KILL THE THREAD!

I drove back from West Virginia today. It wasn't too awful. Though I was very tempted by the Cheerwine and Moonpie possibilities, and caved, and bought a moonpie. But they had no diet Cheerwine, so I passed.
