It cracked me up, when I came for my job interview here, at an organization that's mostly women, that there was a man at the front desk. Turns out he's not the regular receptionist, but still!
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Heh. I thought "supersize" was some new management speak for an employee that you need to compensate for. Like, their work is only regular size but when you're done with it the work has been supersized.
but I politely gave him the kabosh.
"Kibosh", missy.
When I get home tonight I'll post the "Space Madness" song (with accompanying Ren freakout) at BR. It's slightly different than the televized version, but it's a great track.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Are we sure Tim didn't write the nutbar astronaut tale? Sure sounds like a mash-up of TV's hit Drive and the crazy trenchcoated chick in the Brass Monkey ep of Wonderfalls.

Sitting near the door=de facto receptionist.
Apparently to some people in IT, sharing an office=de facto receptionist. I'm always amazed how often vendors ask me where my officemate is, or ask me to provide information on his work despite us not even being in the same department. I'm always telling people I don't work with him , I don't know what you are talking about. Cause I don't!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I wimped out on the Indian. Too far to drive. Seriously, unless it's around the corner, I don't feel like I can take the time to go. Went to Whole Foods instead.

I've decided I want to see an HBO movie based on the astronaut story, starring Holly Hunter.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've decided I want to see an HBO movie based on the astronaut story, starring Holly Hunter.
Heh.
I think I want to see a SciFi Channel movie based on the astronaut story, starring Holly Hunter. She would have a green alien friend that only she could see. Oh, and she might be a werewolf or something....
eta: Because an astronaut being chased by a werewolf in a diaper = comedy gold!
