Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

you might think you've been burglarized by a particularly stupid burglar who just moved your stuff around a little and went through your drawers and files.

What happens when you report it to the police? Do they know to not investigate?

I forgot all about Survivor until 8:57, so yay for the recaps here. I don't think Terry's necessarily dumb at the social aspects of the game. I thought it was fascinating that he voted for Aras last week at TC -- there was no hint that he expected Aras to get booted. So was he just making sure that his vote wouldn't matter? Or is he thinking that, if he's one of the final 2, he's going to be able to say that he didn't vote out a single member of the jury? If we have the usual level of pettiness, that might make a big difference.

I love that the finale is always on Mother's Day, since my mom watches the show, too. Especially since my brother & his family don't watch it, and they keep hosting dinner on Mother's Day. They're slow learners. But I consider it payback for the time he forced me to sit through the extended edition of The Two Towers.

I am waiting for FedEx to deliver my desk chair. Since they've tried twice, and I only found out because my mom called to say that FedEx had left a message for me.

The driver, apparently, is so new that he can't quite figure out how to deliver something even though my name isn't out on the front gate yet. He's also so new that he didn't think to mention it on Wednesday when he first tried.

Joy. I may miss a wedding because of this. Well, there's always the reception...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I convinced myself that the Survivor promos had to be old footage, because could they really be that stupid to end on a cliffhanger and then reveal the winner? Maybe they could.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Can I go home now?

First call I got this morning was from the company owner's secretary saying he needs wireless internet access in the board room by Wednesday. We don't have wireless networking anywhere in the building and the internet access requires a firewall login and password. I spoke to my supervisor and he said we'll have to figure something out.

Then I got a call from someone at our Philly hospital trying to schedule non-Oncology patients who followed their doctor from a different local hospital and finding out she can't because they're not in the system. I spent 45 minutes on the phone calling person after person before I finally found out someone who could tell me the procedure for scheduling new non-Oncology patients. Argh.

I've had more stressful days, but it hasn't been a fun morning.

Well, some of the victims of the sneak'n peek warrants have been Arab-Americans, so you can imagine how sympathetic some police departments have been....

Just because you're already in the groove, Kalshane, want to call a collection agency for me and convince them that I don't actually owe Nextel $2800?

I think I'll pass, thanks. I have enough trouble convincing them that I'm not the person they're looking for and I have no clue where that person is when they call me looking for people who lived upstairs from me. I have no idea what's up with that apartment, but at least half the people who lived up there while I've been here seem to have collection agencies after them.

Though, ack. That doesn't sound fun at all.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'LL DO IT!! I love making those calls.

OK, OK, I'll do it myself. Stupid identity stealers.

ALTHOUGH, a friend of mine told me last night that someone in Australia stole $3K OUT OF HER CHECKING ACCOUNT. See, to me that's way worse (even though she did get the money back quickly) -- someone stealing from companies pretending to be me sucks, but at least they aren't stealing my actual money.
