But am I alone in not really being bothered by it? It's an ad for a non-mechanical thing.
Intellectually, I know it's a trivial thing. But it still bugs me. Sorta' like an itch, if that makes sense.

[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.

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

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
But am I alone in not really being bothered by it?
No. I had no problem visualizing the (mechanical) problem, but really saw no reason to laugh and/or be annoyed by it. I suppose I never saw it as something that advertised itself as working in the first place.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
But it still bugs me. Sorta' like an itch, if that makes sense.
Oh, totally. Like when music notes are used as decoration, but they're facing the wrong way.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I went to the funeral and Boss kind of freaked out but then he seemed to be fine with me being there. Of course, today is the day that three blocks in Ann Arbor lost power and one of our tenants is ON that block. Which is what he was freaking out about, but Co-Worker took care of it best she could as it was a power company thing.
Boss gave a eulogy and it was beautiful. I was goon until the bagpiper started and then total water works.
I figure if he's mad I was gone for the day, he can take a vaca day away from me. I feel good that I went and represented our comapny that his grandfather was an investor in.

This is totally the kind of thing I can't picture at all. I would need to see them in action to understand.Actually, they are working perfectly as designed. Maybe when they are engaged, they act as a brake. /smartass
Ooo. Watching Law & Order CI tonight, and 'Fred (from Angel series) had a small role. Good to see she's still getting work.
Is this not the one with the asthma and the fake medicine? She's got a pretty big role in that one.
That is the one. I posted having watched the first bit of it. It didn't look like it was going to be a big role, but it turned out to be. Good episode.

Flyby to say HI HI HI HI!!!
Am overwhelmed, but in a good way. I'm really going to like working with these folks. The time between now and July is going to be rough, but it will be worth it.
Ok, back to trying to understand these reports I'm supposed to be reviewing.

The ad says the city that "works together". And it is for a transit system, so they are supposed to be for something moving that works together. I laughed for two minutes straight. What can I say? It's not news that I'm weird. So I'm the only one who found it funny in that context? Well, since it was linked from Making Light not the only one.

:pokes thread with stick::
where did everyone go? Sure, I get an afternoon with chances to pop on, and NOTHING. So much for entertainment.
Ya, still at work. Why o why did I say "yes" when asked "will you give a little schpiel to the Ovation Club? Talk about what you do, and sound stuff for Importance of Being Earnest?"
