Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

I am at home working on a presentation for work tomorrow and I've realized that I don't have Powerpoint installed on this computer anymore. Unhappy on so many levels.

And OMG, GG was watch from the hall awful. And I never watch from the hall.

Open Office has a power point clone. If you have broad band download open office. On my machine I find slightly slower than the real power point, but not intolerable. And you can save it as a pp and take it to your office with you.

I figured more lighters was a more effective short term solution for keeping Jesse alive.

OK, so I have this silly putty that was conference swag (GLAST, if anyone is curious who'd give out silly putty. Which, seriously, for this audience? Is almost perfect.) Mister Kitty just tried to EAT it. Um. No. This cat would be a garbage disposal if I let him. When I'm eating dinner, I chase him with the balance ball to keep him off the table. And oh, he knows it. The looks I get.

msbelle, check the password protected file for the password file. Um, not like I've ever done anything like that before. Newp.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I cannot get my wireless to talk to the TIVO. I am having to do set-up via phone line.

I figured out the password, but still, I know I started a document somewhere with them all written down.

oh, and Jesse should quit smoking (and sara too).

others too, but thems are the ones that are here now.

Ok, I just noticed the name of the posthole digger/drill tractor outside my apartment (they are putting in new lamps): Vermeer. This amuses me.

eta: phht. You know what happens when I'm told what to do. It's childish of me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I only smoke OPCs or JHCs.

Also, I was feeling sorry for myself for having to stay all night writing a patent opinion while trying to avoid working on another all-night filing, then I got an email for a guy who had a vacation scheduled this week, got stopped at the border because his passport was expired, and is here now working all night on this filing. Poor dude!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, that guy's life REALLY sucks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I cannot get my wireless to talk to the TIVO.

I had the same problem. Or the same symptom. It turned out the TIVO was making a DHCP request to my router, my router was replying with an IP address, but the TIVO claimed it didn't get it. I had to set the router and TIVO to use a static IP address for the TIVO.

sara should NOT look for a place to buy or a new job, nope and she shouldn't even consider a move to the barely climately different NYC area. Especially not the neighborhoody area I live. nope.
