I'm eating wasabi potato chips. I'm not sure yet if they're good or nasty...

I'm addicted to them. They're hot, salty goodness, weirdly sweet, completely wrong, and undoubtedly bad for my health, which, when I look at my fictional loves, now makes complete sense.

Oh, fuck. They're threatening to haul out the cowbell for real now. Ceremony, they say.

The hell?

I am so hurt. After I created that lovely tabbed e-mail, someone wants the status report in Word. Because they lose e-mails.

Admittedly, this isn't someone who got the lovely tabbed status report. Maybe that's why he just doesn't understand.

Well, if I had to guess what lazy cynicism is...

I couldn't be bothered. It wouldn't matter, anyhow. I don't think.

...

ita, what the hell is this cowbell deal? The first few mentions I saw of it, I thought it was some sort of exercise. Then today, I read things that seem to indicate someone has an actual cowbell at work, to...what...summon people?

You could offer to do the report in Word, print it out and then staple it to their forehead, so they will be sure not to lose it.

staple it to their forehead

Much more sanitary than my original idea.

They celebrate achievement by driving everyone else (oh, about 2 or 3 hundred within earshot in the open plan cube farm) crazy. Yay!

Oh ita.

Robin, I just went to the Amazon page for your friend Bob's book. I know you said he's Jane's boyfriend. And look who he got a review from [link]

“Prisoner of Trebekistan is so effortlessly funny and informative, the fact that it’s also tender, human, and very wise kind of sneaks up on you. . . . Amidst the nerve-wracking Jeopardy! showdowns and hilarious study rituals, Bob Harris has found the difference between facts and knowledge, between knowledge and wisdom, proving conclusively that the answer to the meaning of life may very well take the form of a question. A must for anyone who loves Jeopardy!, or has ever seen it, or is breathing.” —Joss Whedon, creator, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

There's also a review there from Paul Feig (Freaks and Geeks creator).

Timelies,

I think ita should ask annoying cowbell person if he thinks he can eat said cowbell, then tell him if he rings it again he'll find out if he guessed right.

I got nothing else, except to say gronk.

home from work. earlier than last night. well, it is something.
