I did that Tuesday.
I got the husband to do it. Who knew he'd turn out to be useful?
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I do not know what SAP is, but PeopleSoft bites, and I hardly use it. It got so bad at my Uni that the faculty senate actually invited the administrative assistants who had to use Peoplesoft to input time for everyone in their department to a faculty senate meeting to talk about it, and then reported the findings to the president. Who didn't seem to care, because they could eliminate people n Payroll. Except now their are people in departments whose entire job is Peoplesoft.

I did that Tuesday. Scrubbing Bubbles and then 409 Glass/Surface Cleaner.
I just used bleach and water. At one point, I looked up and saw Clio about to stick her face in the bleach water and stood up quickly to shoo her away and totally whacked my head on the freezer door handle. I was totally expecting blood.

Memo to self: look for one that cleans.

Believe me, he didn't advertise it.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
One thing I've noticed is that VPs just love playing shell games with the payroll for various departments. So you can claim a great savings by eliminating staff in the Payroll department, but offshift the real cost into every single other department by eventually adding to need personnel to do the tasks they were doing....
Today I'm just full of despising and cynical ire.

How does someone become a programmer writer and NOT know the difference between effect and affect?
I used to know the difference automatically, but I've seen it wrong so much online that now I have to stop and think, "cause and... effect."
So, Behr's not only has a color-picker decorating tool, but since the last time I looked they started selling samples online. And with 4 you get itty bitty rollers and paint trays, wooja wooja. Shipping is exorbitant, but on the other hand I don't have to go to Home Depot on a weekend. Whee, paint.

Y'all are not making me happy. The entire company is rolling over to Oracle project-management software by October. This will integrate the timesheet information more directly with the costing and billing and client-management functions, and frankly scares me shitless.
... god, I'm depressed. Hangovers are a bad idea.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
And why does my job description not include "Smite the stupid ones"? Why?Because it is a cruel, cruel world?
You really should be allowed to smite. I've got a list right here.

Chiropractor claims he can go back in time
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A chiropractor who claims he can treat anyone by reaching back in time to when an injury occurred has attracted the attention of state regulators.
The Ohio State Chiropractic Board, in a notice of hearing, has accused James Burda of Athens of being "unable to practice chiropractic according to acceptable and prevailing standards of care due to mental illness, specifically, Delusional Disorder, Grandiose Type."
Burda denied that he is mentally ill. He said he possesses a skill he discovered by accident while driving six years ago.
"My foot hurt and, knowing anatomy, I went ahead and I told it to realign and my pain went away," Burda said Thursday.
Burda calls his treatment "Bahlaqeem."
"It is a made-up word and, to my knowledge, has no known meaning except for this intended purpose. It does, however, have a soothing vibrational influence and contains the very special number of nine letters," Burda's Web site says.

Burda said he charges nothing for his first "visit," usually by phone or Internet, and subsequent treatments are $60.
"All treatments are satisfaction-guaranteed. Treatment is always done before payment is made," Burda said, adding that one patient "just wasn't satisfied, and I tore up her check.
The Web site describes the treatment as "a long-distance healing service (not a product) to help increase the quality of your life that can be performed in the privacy of your home or other personal space. There is no need to come to my office."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man -- there's this Ren Faire/D&D geek girl on What Not To Wear, who had been wearing her mother's old 80s suits for work and t-shirts the rest of the time, and it's hilarious watching Clinton and Stacy try to be supportive of her geekiness. As long as she's better dressed.
