OK, my mailbox is going crackers with my coworkers also losing their minds over the sea otter thing.
I have a stuffed toy one at home. I think I may be bringing it in for a bit, to sit on the server rack.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

ION, bleah. Just got home after dragging my snorfling drippy crapped-out self up to work to unlock a file cabinet that apparently nobody on the planet but me and my boss has keys to, because I'd locked something in it that someone else needed desperately (he's putting together a giant PowerPoint presentation for a conference, 48 hours before the conference, and had been emailing me anguished and angry emails and running all over the office tugging at things and barking at people). Just two blocks up and two blocks back, but I feel like I've just run a marathon on one leg and one lung.
It definitely reinforces my desire to get out of any job where I'm incredibly valued and indispensible. Please, please, just let me be an (adequately compensated) anonymous cog in the great machine.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't mind DST most of the time, but making it start earlier is filling me with dread. I hate waking up when it's still dark out, and hate sending DH off to catch the bus in the dark even more.

Shut up NPR dude! I don't care if DST is a capitalist conspiracy. I want my hour of daylight after work!
I need to buy Daisy yet another drink!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Holy crap, I can't believe I never thought of this: bacon popcorn.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
The only problem I have with earlier DST is that the one VCR that automaticly shifts for DST is gonna be confused. I'm going to have to shift the time forward on Sunday, and then shift it back in three weeks when DST would normally be. I know, such a First World problem.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
So, interview seemed to go well. Hopefully I'll hear back from them soon about coming in for the technical interview.
Have a second interview with a place for a contract-to-hire position tomorrow at 10am. At least I know I didn't blow the first interview there, but they're definitely my second choice as it's help desk instead of desktop support.

Sheryl, can you turn off the VCR's DST adjustment option? I know that mine lets me do that (and thanks for reminding me to switch it off!!).

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
bacon popcorn
There was bacon brittle in the green room today. Ew.

How does that work? I thought they got the time/date from the broadcast/cable signal.
