Cindy, can we pretend I didn't say "actually" instead of "actual"?
I do know the difference, usual.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

How NOT to impress a powerful partner with your industriousness of billability, by: me.
File all documents on your desk, leaving it mostly empty and shiny except for a clean pad of paper. Begin selecting which pens to put away by which ones have the most ink. Make eye contact with passing partner as you appear to be mostly occupied with staring at a pen in each hand. Get back to actual work.

Speaking of customer calls, I have this embarrassing habit of completely blanking on customer names almost immediately after they tell me who they are. I have to write it down if I want to avoid the embarrassing, "And, uh... what name is your account under, again?"
Me: Brain, I know you don't give a shit about these people, but could you hold onto the info for at least two minutes before trashing it?
Brain: And overwrite all those Journey lyrics? NEVER.
Me: Fantastic. I'd be golden if only these people were named Wheelinthesky Keepsonturnin

I like to think Jesus would be cool with television, because that's the way Jesus rolls. He'd have to show God how to work the TiVo remote, though.

Miracleman:
12. Yea, and though the LORD had created the heavens and Earth, the beasts of the field and the birds of the air, the fish of the oceans and all that walk upon the Earth, he was sore vexed.
13. And the LORD sayeth unto his only Son, "Jesus, you must show unto me the way."
14. And Jesus said unto the LORD "Father, seriously. Again?"
15. And the LORD said unto his only son, "Jesus, I who am called I Am cannot get the clock to stop flashing the twelfth hour."
16. And Jesus did heave a heavy sigh and he did take the remote control from the LORD and he did say unto the LORD "It's really very simple."
17. And the LORD did mutter under His breath about "new-fangled contraptions."

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
So basically, the new version of the question is "Can God create a VCR that even he can't program"?
