It can't rival the Hawaii Chair, but this is pretty cool.

I suppose we'd have to get off on LJ and walk.

Dear Boss,
The reason you can't paste into that email is that it is an email you received. You can't alter it in any way. If you want to main something to the faculty, you must start a new email to the faculty, and then add content. At least you had the grace to realize you were being an idiot when I discovered the problem.
Signed, having a rough morning because our entire IM service was wiped from the server, and I just reinstalled it from scratch with the help of the woman from UNC, because the person whose job it is might be induced this morning.

Interesting analysis of the WWII-era Minnesota Starvation Study, thought of it in context of our Pollen-inspired discussion of the other day:

Congratulations, bon!

Flea, except when you can. I don't remember the full extent of editing we could do in Notes, but like Outlook at my current job, Notes at my previous one would let you delete attachments. Notes at least embedded the name of the deleted file in the email, but with Outlook here it's just like it had never existed, and it makes tracing information chains to their roots kinda tricky.

eta: of course, any of those edits aren't reflected in anyone else's inbox.

Vortex should know that I made stew with chicken thighs last night, and it was delicious. Will make again.

There is just no reason for today to exist.

Right there with you.

glad you liked it! I'm going to make a big pot of chicken chili this weekend, so I'm sure I'll have the recipe for you.

Entertainment Weekly has a fluff piece on 30 Dead TV Shows You'd Revive. A lot of Buffista favorites on that list, including three separate Tim shows.

I agreed with the vast majority, and can see the arguments for most of the rest. I do think they should have just made it 29 shows if they couldn't think of anything better than Kindred: The Embraced for #30, though.

I think that they make a good point. KtheE was very sophisticated for its time. I liked it :)

Ellen has featured the Hawaii chair on her show - SO ridiculous.

Thanks for the kind words nice people.

This morning we had an 8:45 Dr. appt. But were not evenn into the waiting room until after that because people were running late. I hates them. We didn't see a Dr. until around 9:20 and then in 10 min. we were done. It is the difference between me getting to work at 10:30 or 11:00 and that is a big difference in being late or taking half a day. fingers crossed boss will still not make me take half a day, but who knows.

So since this really should be Friday, what are we doing for the weekend?

I ask since I am looking for vicarious distraction. My weekend consists of Dreading the Accountant All of Saturday (with pleasant dinner and movie interlude at a friends' house Saturday night), Going To Accountant on Sunday Morning, and Dealing with Fallout Thereof Sunday Afternoon through, oh - 2010.

Last year, we found out that via a mis-com, and courtesy of a lovely post-doc loophole, we owed over $8k. What we did not have.

SO hoping this year will be different. And that we get the inspection report back on teh house before I shout a hole through my desk.

Oh and then Monday, I begin breaking up w/ my employers of 10 years by telling them I want to go part-time (unless we owe lots of money again; then I will do no such thing).
