I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

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.

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

Time-Warner just changed their DVR software to something new. They're also threatening to upgrade all of their old DVR boxes to this new software.

Does this explain why I've been having so much trouble with the old software? I have to soft or hard reset an average of once a day.

I'm currently drooling over Alienware desktop computers. Between my Visual Studio programming and my Visual Media 3D classes, I could actually justify a high-end system with actual bells and whistles.

You know Dell bought them. If you want a high-end system with actual tech support, we've been pretty happy with our machine from Falcon Northwest.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

shrift, you need one of those security glare screens that only allows people to look at your monitor when they're standing directly behind you.

IT SMELLS LIKE DEAD POOPY THINGS DOWN HERE.

This could come in handy when you have to hide the dead bodies.

"What's that horrible smell?"
"It always smells like that."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Tell me something nice, anything at all, about your week.

Department meeting was cancelled?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Annoying coworker has crossed the line. We just recieved a package and there was confusion over where it was to go. I brought it back to my office, opened it and took it where it belonged. On my way back here, I overhear from is office, "So Daisy finally got off her ass..." to the trainee we have here from Houston.

Think you're hot shit asshole? We'll see when boss lady gets back.

Seriously, he's been insufferable for about 2 weeks now.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Bought by Dell, huh? One reason that I'm actually intrigued enough by them is that they will set up the computer with acoustic dampening (aka inside padding) and liquid cooling, which means I won't have to listen to a small but annoying fan whining whining whining, which honestly in a cubeland environment isn't so bad (white noise kind of drowns out all the voices) but in a nice quiet house puts my teeth on edge.

Of course, this all costs....

Good lord, Daisy.

shrift, I'm sorry about your new poopy dead workplace.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You guys really aren't making me want to go back to work next week. I've done pretty well being off -- I've been out of my neighborhood every day so far! (I was a little afraid I wouldn't leave the house.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Damn, Daisy. What an obnoxious little prick.

How does the HD look on your TV, Jesse?
