If it's in Wikepedia, it must be true: Count Chocula:
Ernst Choukula was born the third child to Estonian landowers in the late autumn of 1873...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What the hell does that mean? I don't really have anything unnecessary in my office. I could unplug the CLOCK, I suppose, but not sure how that would help.
Seriously. I mean, they could lower the A/C -- it technically doesn't NEED to be 65 degrees in here, but that's about it.
Maybe when Bush and Putin are both out of government they can do a comedy variety show in Branson.
Don't forget Koizumi does karaoke!!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, goody. The AI has moved on to questioning my competence.

I'm afraid I can't do that Dana; I can't allow anything to jeopardize this mission.

Dana, must you work with this creature?

She's like the opposite of HAL, though. She's bureaucrat HAL. HAL at least would get things done, though I might be dead by the end. Bureaucrat HAL dislikes the pace at which things are moving. Gee, you think it's because you don't return my calls or my e-mails, you refuse to let me talk to subject matter experts, and you promise edits which you never send?
God, I'm really pissed. And I think I'm going to get kicked off this project.

nope, dont' take the risk. next thing you know, it will be 75 in your office, and when you complain they'll say "but you said we could"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
This building is impossible to keep comfortable. A third of the offices are in direct sunlight, a third shaded by the neighboring buildings, and the other third are midway, like mine. So I'm sure if I'm freezing in my office they're sweltering over on the west side.

Oh yeah, I'd never say anything, especially because I know that when we're freezing, other people are barely comfortable.

When the a/c goes off here, we get sent home. It's only happened a couple of times, once a brownout and once the line that powers the wings blew up or something. There was still power in the core of the building, but the ac was dead.
