Huh. This thread is almost done....

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

Bummer:
There have been quite a few stories over the years concerning universities accidentally sending out congratulations emails to applicants when they didn't mean to. By this point, you would have figured that most universities would have put in place a decent process to prevent this from happening -- but apparently not. The latest is Berkeley's law school. The director of admissions there was apparently teaching a new hire how to use the email system, including (uh oh) how to send a single message to many people at the same time. He just so happened to pick the "you've been accepted email" and the list of all 7,000 applicants and then, naturally, pressed the send key. Seems like those first year classes might get a little crowded this year....

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.
At least I got to see the gay cowboys on ice first though.
I am SO sorry. I hope you don't have nightmares....
And speaking of nightmares, I'm off to bed, hoping to NOT have nightmares of any sort, but especially not gay cowboys on ice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Schools send emails now? That seems lame -- no fat envelopes!
SA, I wouldn't be buying a fancy backpack at the end of college, unless you really like backpacks.

Some people just should not be allowed computers. Or possibly, fingers.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I think I get an anti-toaster for that one.

ION, don't you hate it when a couple in your building is having a loud argument, but one person't voice is so much louder than the others so you only hear one side of the story?

I do really like backpacks! I just am going through a neat-looking arm bag phase, I think.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just had the first power outage of the evening. Whee!

Oh, OK. I just never use a backpack except when I have a lot of books.
