Happy Birthday Jon!

I find it hilarious that I can now get better quality Italian food having moved back to a city of 60,000 than I could in a city with a metropolitan area of a million and a quarter. Then again, Piero's spoiled me for all lesser red sauces back in the late 80s.

OH MY GOD why is it so cold in here?

Yesterday my office was less than 60F. I was wearing a heavy sweater and thick socks, and I spent the day shivering.

Our work buildings are trying to break our spirits.

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

Now, do you suppose this is an ice cream spoon, the long-handled sort you eat with, as opposed to this sort which is a server which seems to be the most frequent result of my search?

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

I'm wearing two shirts and two sweatshirts. Still cold. (I have a space heater at my desk but I've been spending most of my time in the server room.)

ita, this [link] certainly makes it look like it is the eating-with kind, not the serving kind. Is 6.7" particularly long-handled?

Art Crawl!!!

weatherbug says it's 3.2 degrees.

It's the .2 that gets me.

So far this morning I have managed to smash my hand into my desk (though I think the cold dulled the pain) and set off some kind of bizarre IE error which resulted in IE opening multiple tabs FOREVER.

I don't think it's a virus, and I've checked the computer, but it was bizarre. I hope I didn't just accidentally create Skynet.

They've always bugged me. The few things they have that I've been interested in have always seemed poorly constructed.
