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.
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?

I'm pretty sure yes.
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.
I seems to me to be a fairly recent term. I wonder if it's related to that guy (Jewel?) who was a suspect in the Olympic bombing thing - his name was all over the press (they kinda' presumed him guilty) and it turned out he didn't do it and he sued a TV network and got a bunch of money.
And now you're wearing his entrails as a hat, right?
Moi?
I try not to do that at work. Makes it difficult to get references.
What I have acquired instead is an order from my supervisor Not To Open The Door, so I am going to drink my coffee and Buff Dive for a while, and listen to my iPod while people knock-knock-knock fruitlessly on the door.
