Nor looked so sassy in the tight pants. IJS.
God. I hope the Sarah Connor Chronicles don't suck.
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Picking up a soldering iron by the wrong end (Twice! So dumb.) gave me some impressive blisters but didn't change my fingerprints. Slicing off the tip of my thumb with a kitchen knife left a noticeable scar that is just off the edge of the fingerprint area.

One of my fellow grad students dropped a hot soldering iron in his lap while we were building cables years ago. I've never seen anyone leap out of a rolling chair so quickly in my life.

My WH (wonderful husband) works for the power plants in our area. He spent 20 years at the nuclear plant as an operator. The annual physicals, drug testing, etc. were a regular part of his world.

It was the "rotating" part of plant shifts that looked so hellacious to me.

this. didn't have the good lines or the delivery either.
Didn't get fingerprinted much after leaving the magnet school (advantage #345 of working from home often), but I did get asked on an application to teach for a Jesuit college how I was going to bring God into the classroom. For a web design course.
That was the application where I put 'sarcastic' down as my religion. Love those Jesuits. Still got the job.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

No wonder. Telnet's not secure.
