So, last night I got home past my bedtime, stayed up too late, etc. So of COURSE someone buzzed me from downstairs at like quarter of five this morning. I just ignored it, because ain't no one trying to get into my apartment at that hour. But I can tell already it's going to be an awesome (half) day at work.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Awwww! :: is all validated and stuff ::
Seriously, though, I was all excited when I found out that GPS actually has to use special relativity, because how often do you use something in daily life that depends on something so technologically awesome?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Kat, stand by your guns. Do what you think is best for Grace.
I admit that the idea of a DNR for an infant appalls me, too. It was difficult enough for us to ask for a DNR for Teddy when he was in the hospital for IV fluids last month. So I can't even imagine what it's like to even think of that kind of order for an infant.
But the hospital needs to realize that a DNR may be the best of a bad set of options. And as a parent, you make the decision. Not the hospital. And certainly not me.

10 out of 10 on the phishing. Just look for typos and awkward phrasing. Usually a giveaway.
Unfortunately, it also gives away the designers, printing plants, and stock photo agencies I deal with by e-mail. There are basically 3 people at work (all of them editors) whose e-mails don't make me cringe. Well, actually two of them make me cringe as well, but not over grammar issues.

I have Vampire People in my purse. I was patiently waiting for my Amazon pre-order to arrive, but I went to Borders after work yesterday, and there it was on the shelf!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh yeah, I liked Theo's post too. The only thing I'd point out is that scientists have figured out (fairly recently) how a bumblebee flies.
Seriously, though, I was all excited when I found out that GPS actually has to use special relativity, because how often do you use something in daily life that depends on something so technologically awesome?
This is true. Sort of an "in your face!" to people who think all this fancy relativity stuff has no real impact in the "real world."

So I got a McDonalds Big Breakfast for breakfast. Bastards forgot to give me salt and pepper for my eggs. So I went digging through my desk drawer looking for old leftover McDonalds salt and pepper packets. I found a pepper packet right away, but it took a few minutes of digging through all the crap before I was all, "Yay! Salt!" So now I'm as happy as the creature on that ST:TOS episode that killed people by sucking all the salt from their bodies. Pretty soon I'll probably turn into McCoy's old girlfriend....
