'Bushwhacked'
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.
I think the minute they opened the car door, they HAD to have been littering.
Eeep, I should have considered that since it happens to me with the trash the boys leave in my car. Can't tell you how many times I have reached under my car for a cup or napkin that escaped.
The key is a good trash-stacking system, obviously.
My boss has no chocolates for me. But even if he did, I couldn't eat them, so I suppose it's all for the best.
Reminds me, I need to clear out the passenger footwell. It's just two neatly tied up grocery bags of waterbottles, boxes and such, but...no room for people's feet!
Thanks everyone!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARIA!

In other news, totally dying of boredom cancer today.
Shrift, I think that cancer may be contagious. Better watch it.
Nomenclature question:
Say I fill out a form on a web site and it tells me I'll get a reply in 48 hours. They don't mean 48 hours, they really mean two business days. So if I fill it out on Friday, I shouldn't get antsy until Tuesday sometime.
The term business day serves to differentiate from a calendar day. There's no such modifier to hours to parallel this in the example above, is there?
What?
So if I fill it out on Friday, I shouldn't get antsy until Tuesday sometime.
I would assume if you fill it out Friday at noon, you should get a response by Tuesday noon. So it's like "business days" but with more precision. Or you could think of it as literally 48 hours, except "we're not gonna count Sat. and Sun."
There's no such modifier to hours to parallel this in the example above, is there?
"48 business hours" sounds weird. Like maybe you're counting 8 hours in a business day, so a little more than a week in total. Of course that would be a wrong interpretation so... what is my point again?
