[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

ugg.
strike one: running late, no time to pick up breakfast
strike two: left lunch at home
strike three: have to walk thru fun ash-wind to get lunch
Does this mean I can go home?
ION, has anyone heard of Blackle? A search portal that uses Google, but is a black background/ Handy for us theater folk, but supposedly saves an incy bit of energy:
Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. "Image displayed is primarily a function of the user's color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen." Roberson et al, 2002. In January 2007 a blog post titled Black Google Would Save 750 Megawatt-hours a Year proposed the theory that a black version of the Google search engine would save a fair bit of energy due to the popularity of the search engine. Since then there has been skepticism about the significance of the energy savings that can be achieved and the cost in terms of readability of black web pages. We believe that there is value in the concept because even if the energy savings are small, they all add up. Secondly we feel that seeing Blackle every time we load our web browser reminds us that we need to keep taking small steps to save energy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The energy savings are only there for CRT monitors.

Thrive to spite them
I'm not having a good week at work. Actually I haven't felt like I've had a good week since my supervisor left. Oddly enough everyone else seems to think I'm doing a good job, which just confuses me. I feel like I'm hiding things from them and when they find out they'll want me to leave.
This is in part based on how I've slacked off in some areas and have a ton of filing that needs to be done that I keep putting off. And I've been late. quite a bit. So I keep waiting for the reprimand to happen that never seems to and it's tense making.

The energy savings are only there for CRT monitors.yes. And those are waning in popularity. But in a dark theater, it helps he eyes from having the nice white glare of the white google page. It's like the Goth Google ;)

Oh JZ, I'm so sorry for the un-good feelings...AND, Sparky is indeed wise. Bad fits are nobody's friend. Something better must be in the wings.
Many wishes that the best thing happens sharpish and dispels the dread like a glorious sunrise dusting a vampire we don't like.

Hee. I have to share this. One of my 9th graders is way too smart for her own good (and likes to show it off). The girls just took a vocabulary quiz, and one of the words was "pious." Most of the girls who chose to write an original sentence using the word wrote something along the lines of, "The pious man attended church every Sunday."
What does this girl write?
"Jane Seymour's pious ways caused her to attract the attentions of King Henry VIII, looking for a wife who would please and be loyal to the church."
And no, this is not history they have studied yet. I am amused.
