Classic TiVos are built to be rebooted by pulling the power cord out of the socket. I suspect the engineers figured that was how most users were going to do it anyway. It also makes it somewhat more resistant to rebooting problems when the power shuts off abruptly.

I left the kleenex in the car and as sad as it is, the though of walking all the way back out there (it's not far) exhausts me, so I'm making do with toilet paper.
I'm going to regret this later.
I actually didn't feel too bad until I tried thinking.

I agree with Theo, sara. If you are too weak to get your kleenex, you are too sick to be at work.

I'm just cranky and toddler whiny, not weak. And, unfortunately, I didn't feel like ass until about half an hour ago. I woke up thinking maybe I'd dodged a bullet. I don't look sick. I don't sound sick. I just feel sick.

OMG, I just had 15 minutes of pure panic thinking I'd deleted a shitload of files that should not be deleted.
...and then I realized they were files I had elsewhere and once I use them, I delete them anyway!
Brane broken. But flying on adrenaline now!

I just spent the last hour trying to parse recordation fee changes, so I kind of feel your mental pain, sarameg.
Sweet baby Jesus, I haven't had enough caffeine yet to deal with today.

Oh, sara, I do hope you feel better soon.
As for me, well, sleep if for the week, or more than a couple of hours of sleep anyway, and definitely sleep-before-the-deadline, which means I've handed in that annoying report, crashed for a couple of hours, and am back again, foggy-minded but late on so many other things (due to that, oh, how surprising, that annoying repost, which ate all my time).
But! This is *not* a whining post. The deed is done, and therefore the whining should be minimized until other reasons are found for them to arise.
Oh, and, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Jeff Mejia's birthday. It's been so long since I got to see any font of his, I have no idea how he's doing, but I do hope he has a way to feel the well-wishes coming his way.
And, because I remember that they share a birth-date, happy birthday, Kristen! I hope you have a great day and a wonderful year!
