'Out Of Gas'
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 protest the idea that there's something about political conservatism that makes commentators hacky or unprincipled
I don't believe that, and I didn't mean to imply it. I just don't know of any principled ones. Most conservative blogs I've seen seem quite willing to continue to further Administration talking points that have been demonstrated to be false. Maybe I'm only reading the bad ones because outraged liberal blogs link to them.
Hah! Vindiciation for messy desks
Unsurprisingly, the head of the national organizers association disputes the claims hotly.
I just realized that I have not been at a company for more than 2.5 years. EVER!
I expect like any other job, it will make me insane sometimes, but it will be compensated with 28% more insanity buffers.
I have to say, that's totally true IME. My current job pays way more than I've ever made before, and it still makes me insane (as you all know!), but at least I'm not also angry about my paycheck.
People with phone phobia:
Do you get excited when you call someone and reach voice mail, or do you feel it just prolongs the whole experience? (My reaction to voice mail is usually "SCORE!")
At first, I read this like, "Holy ass," was his nickname, rather than just an exclamation of surprise.
Not a nickname in this case. But there is one sysadmin with whom I dread communicating, and I think he wholly deserves the Holy Ass moniker.
Announcement: I am now leaving for a vacation! I won't go to work again until Tuesday!!
Analysis: It is a little frightening how much a mere 4 days off, two of them weekend days, is pleasing me.
I've now been at my job for just over ten years, in fact. It sure doesn't seem like that long....
(My reaction to voice mail is usually "SCORE!")
Oh, yeah, plus a feeling akin to the commutation of a sentence.
I've been at my current company since 1994. I've been in my current job (minus a few job title upgrades that changed exactly 0 of my work) since 2000.
Apparently I set down roots.
