Came back from getting lunch to discover that the circuit my computer is on had gone out. Discovered this after a couple frantic minutes of "WHY WON'T MY COMPUTER TURN ON?"
I am now on the lookout for black cats and cracked mirrors.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Meeting in an hour. Don't want.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
All of our printers are broken, apparently. I keep trying to tell people, this is the future, so we don't need paper, but no one believes me.

Happy Birthday, Jon!
I have a how-do-you-do-it type of question.
It's been rainy, so I'm wearing my Goretex jacket to work with my usual 2 bag-lady canvas bags of stuff I'm hauling back and forth across the Bay plus my purse. The Goretex is slippery. I don't have enough shoulder to hold things onto it.
If you grab a ruler and measure your shoulder from neck-bend to end of shoulder, how long is it? Mine (right one) is 5 inches long. I suspect that's really short/narrow.

WRT Emergency, I think this is the show that caused my childhood long confusion between "cardiac arrest" and giving CPR and arresting someone because they had done a crime. Like, for the longest time, I thought if you were arrested for robbery, someone would give you CPR.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JON!!
The Goretex is slippery. I don't have enough shoulder to hold things onto it.
I've got 6" from neck-bend to shoulder, but I have wide shoulders. 5 inches sounds normal to me. I've also found that it depends on the jacket and the type of strap - I have jackets that make anything I'm carrying on my shoulders slip off. That's a major reason why I use messenger bags. (That, and wanting to have my arms as free as possible.)

Popular kids gave each other big, personalized cards and gave the tiny ones to the peons.
Jilli - I may ask you for a bulk discount on GCS toddler t-s next year. ... because that's the way I play _that_ game. Won't the other parents loooove me.

Mine is 5 inches too. I consider myself average-shouldered - certainly not wide, but I am not a tiny person by any means.

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

Heh.
When I was a kid, the warning on cigarette machines about how minors couldn't buy cigs used to confuse me. I was thinking "miner", and was wondering if, say, coal miners were a lower class of citizen and thus were prohibited from smoking....

It's snowing down here too, sarameg!

um...that was kind of hard to do and a little painful with a metal ruler. But mine is about 6.
