I join you in the gronk, Frankenbuddha.
Tell me, o Buffistas -- if I have the ick AND I get 6 sick days, of which I have taken exactly none, is this a good time to take a day off?
Yeah. He's my hero.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What are the reasons not to, in your book? There must be some I'm not seeing.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I don't think I am gronked from the Oscars. I think I am gronked from a body in revolt. My head is on day 3 of being all foggy and resulting in me being spaced out.

Someone please tell the people who work for me that I'm not going to chase down information for them -- if you want to go to a conference, spell out to me what it's going to cost. If you make me do it, I might accidentially on purpose forget to budget a hotel room for you.
what the hell is wrong with people. I mean, when I do that kind of thing, I do a specific budget, link to the conference website, etc. You have to make it easy for your boss to give you the money!

Er... I feel guilty when I call in sick? Also, what I don't use now I can use later, when I get the ginormous ick! Or... something...
Mostly I feel guilty. Particularly because, in contrast to San Francisco's gigantic automated system, here I have to actually talk to a guy who will then call a bunch of people individually to ask them if they want to sub tomorrow. It's a much more personal sort of thing, and you know how I hate personal things.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is/are there any Buffista(s) who own(s) a current-generation Prius?

Tommy- I don't own one, but I drive one through zipcar quite a bit. Not sure if that helps

I am no longer a Morlock. I have been moved back up into the light. My cubicle is 3/4 unpacked. And covered in dust. I am tired and cranky and ready to go home now. And eventually I will need to figure out where the bathroom is on this floor.

A friend of mine is out of town for 8 or 9 days - I promised her I'd drive her Prius during that time so the battery wouldn't go dead during that time. But now we're supposed to get 6-8 inches of snow tonight, so I don't relish the thought of digging her car out and driving it around and then finding a place to park if I don't have to.
So, is there a way I can check how much of a charge the battery has without starting the engine and driving it around? (I think the engine doesn't actually start until the car is moving.) Like, can't I boot up the car and check somehow on the LCD display thingie how much of a charge the battery has? 'Cuz I'm guessing odds are the car won't even need to be driven in order to maintain enough charge for the 8-ish days....
