Since I missed it: happy unbirthday, tommyrot! I think you should get a 24th birthday hour to use whenever you want, since you were short-changed. Or I guess when we gain an hour in the fall, you can have it then.
Thanks. Yeah, I was thinking that when we set our clocks back, I'm gonna claim that hour. So at 2:00 a.m. it'll become 1:00 a.m. and I'll be all, "Hey everybody - it's my birthday again! Let's celebrate!"
I hate spring. I hate the weather changing every two days. I hate having to leave my window open so that it's cool enough to fall asleep, because then I'm awakened by some ass honking his horn in the parking lot at 9 AM on a Saturday. I hate being this tired, because this project is depressing enough when I'm feeling stable.
That sucks. Being tired at work sucks. (What is it you do, anyway?)
My brain isn't working yet. I just talked to a client, and he started talking about some stuff and I didn't know what he was talking about - turns out he was talking about some changes that I had suggested to him last week. Good think my brain finally kicked into gear and I managed to figure it out before embarrassing myself too much.
I have two Series 1 TiVos and they're both going to be off by an hour for the next three weeks (or so). However, they're also listing all the programming as off by an hour, so they're still working correctly... just oddly.
Were we aware that Eddie Izzard has a new series on FX, starting tonight? [link]
I was. Two different non-online-people told me about it. (Chatty!co-worker and my stepdad.) I stuck a Post-It on my TV to remind me to tape it in case I'm not home.
Also, it's 72 minutes tonight. Subsequent episodes are a standard 60 minutes, but I guess b/c it's the premiere, it runs long.
Okay. So. You know how our door is locked? Because I post about it all the freaking time?
Just had a customer who knocked knocked knocked knocked KNOCKED, and when I finally opened the door, ready to kill him, he pushed past me and said, "This is ridiculous!" As he was walking to Other Department, I made sure to say, "YOU'RE WELCOME."
I left my book upstairs. Will someone go get it for me?
So in Chicago recently there was a series of suspicious fires - one of which killed four people. Police are talking to "a person of interest". They do that a lot - talk to a "person of interest" instead of talking to a suspect. Sometimes a person of interest becomes a suspect, and sometimes they go right to being charged with a crime.
Do other cities have this "person of interest" terminology? I'm kinda' curious why it's used. It seems "persons of interest" is a superset of "potential suspects," as I think (but am not positive) a person of interest can be a witness too.
And now you're wearing his entrails as a hat. Right, shrift?
My eyeballs feel like sandpaper. I couldn't sleep, so now I'm all woozy. Stoopid daylight savings. Want to call in and go back to bed. Hate job.
tommyrot, I'm pretty sure they used that terminology around the guys they ended up arresting for the Boston litebrite scare.
