Oz ,'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Eep! I just made an unofficial pitch on a book to a publisher who contacted me.
It would be very good to get another advance and start another book, as the alternative is more temping (which is less tempting).
Also, I suspect this book would (a) pay more and (b) be easier to write than my Tom Waits book.
Folks, I lost an hour today. I left work all, "it's 4pm! I am leaving early!" And arrived at day care at 5:10.
Apparently my computer has been plotting against me. I manually corrected the time this morning and it must have re-wronginated itself during the afternoon some time. I knew it was an unconscionably long afternoon.

Damn, Hec, that totally rocks.

Oh, don't get me started on the wrongness of Lotus Notes' time these next few weeks. And everyone calls me to say, "Hey, I was looking in the Notes calendar, and some of the times are off by an hour, and can you fix that? Or explain it?"
I reply, "No, and underpants gnomes."
Also today, I couldn't log into SAP R/3 because of a "clock skew error."
Oh, and just in case anyone wants to work for the escort company that Spitzer got in trouble with, here are the requirements for "casting":

Tiny, one-room houses that come on a trailer. [link]
The smallest is smaller than a parking space.
I always thought a house was too much space for a person living alone, but I guess not....
