It's a little disconcerting to have the power go out when you're fresh out of the shower and putting goop on your face. The power came back about five minutes later, so at least I didn't have to put on makeup by candelight.
Harrow: You didn't have to wound that man. Mal: Yeah, I know, it was just funny.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Lessons learned from the Buffistas: I was about to reply to an email and start the reply with "Mr. X," based on the first name, when I suddenly remembered that that is bon's first name, and thus could be female. Which, well, leaves me with no opening, BUT at least I won't start off by possibly offending them.
Aww, now I feel guilty. FWIW, if someone doesn't know whether I'm a dude or not, I am not offended if they assume as much. I guess you could start off with "[First Name],"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It doesn't really feel like Friday until I see the Friday Cephalopod... anyway, today's is especially cute: [link]

Free lunch again today. We've been idly speculating about what said free lunch will be. My guess is sandwiches. Our days are so exciting here.

Actually, the Shuttle crew themselves remarked that the ISS, with its new solar array, looks like a TIE fighter from a distance....

Our free lunch is always chinese because it is cheaper than sandwiches. Once somebody complained, and then we got no free lunch.

The vending machines in the lunch room are refusing to sell me caffeine. Is this how the revolution begins?

Probably, yeah.
Unless it's one of those smart vending machines - it could be part of a plot by SkyNet....

I'm not sure depriving shrift of her much-needed caffeine is a wise strategic move on the part of something that exists within a computer network.

Our is always pizza and/or deli sandwiches. I'm pretty sure the company has a deal with these two nearby places (one a pizza/sub type shop and the other a deli) that have the same ownership, since the pizza and/or sandwiches are always from them.
