The kicker is that my desk is right in front of the door.
And our building is specially designed with these enormous columns deep in the ground to keep any sort of vibration to a minimum, since we deal with frequency.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I hate the 48 bosses thing!
Also, I am about to kill Earthlink live chat. I am trying to pay a past due (by 4 days) bill. The bill is $20.00. My credit card expired. I want to change to a bankdraft because I haven't activated the new card. It took them bout 5 minutes of chat before they told me that "noticed my credit card was declined" and that I should pay, so I wouldn't have this trouble! Grrr. I even told them I was past due! Also, the chatter kept saying 'Ok, fine', which probably wasn't meant to be snotty, but it sure sounded that way! He kept telling me to go to a make payment later button that was not there!

Maybe one of the 48 bosses needs to order you a new desk if the earthquake rating on the current one is not up to code.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Shit I DID actually say:
Nice solution, R. It's the one I've been proposing for the last two years.

The medication must be working well, I didn't even get annoyed at the commuters on the T this morning, despite it being cold enough that the garbagemen on my commute were wearing ski masks! So I have nothing to add to Stuff I Didn't Say.
I must be losing my edge.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Is it really 3:30 EST? Because it feels like I have been at work FOREVER. This is probably because I've spent all day uncreatively avoiding work, but fuck it feels like I've been doing that ALL DAY.

Occasionally, we get emails threatening to confiscate all the toasters, coffeepots and space heaters. Everyone just shoves them into a cabinet for a couple days.
The last thing that caught fire? Was a computer. Not a toaster.
I just got out of a 90 minute meeting. It included the phrase "when we take a dump" and exorb, which is, in fact, a word, but I don't think the developer who uttered it knew that. At least half the participants were in full metal 12.

Uh-huh. I'm sure I looked like such the Jennifer Hudson fangurl. And it was probably just some flunkie of the mayor's that I couldn't be near.
I don't know. Maybe Chicago has hot flunkies!
While I admit that James Marsters needed security at Dragon*Con, I wasn't someone they needed to worry about.
If I ever attend a con with David Hewlett as a guest, on the other hand, I might need a chaperone.

I have survived SSA. They wouldn't give me a number while I wait for the card, despite office outside of NYC doing that. But, I should have a card for mac in 2 weeks.

Also, I have ice cream.
