If there's any small-scale -ma left lying around, could you make it observation-ma and send it my way for the next hour and a half? I'm a little gunshy about being observed these days, and it's the first time it's happened all year.

In other news, a) don't tell people they have to renew their applications or they'll be deleted the day before the update, and/or b) perhaps you should update your system a little more often if you still have my application, Cambridge Public Schools.

Huh. Just got this on the Message Center page:

I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services! - Willow, 'Triangle'

Was that really Willow? Freaky.

She was mocking Anya, I believe.

Yup.

Man, I have to watch Buffy again. It's been so long... but it's not the same to do it by myself.

Happy Birthday Tommyrot!

Happy birthday, tommyrot!

I woke up feeling like crap, although not bad enough to call in sick. I think I might be entertaining the Dudes-Who-Talk-CSI across the cube, because I'm sassing my computer monitor whenever someone sends me a douchey e-mail. Which, in customer service, is often.

Monkeys have syntax!

Not many places on the Web you'd find an exclamation mark after that sentence.

Well, no. Actually, there are a lot of them, but that's mostly because a lot of people have forgotten that the period exists.

In tangentially related news, there was a display of bananas at the local Food Lion with a sign above them: "Feel like a snack!!!" I felt very bad for disobeying, given how much they seem to care about it.

...whenever someone sends me a douchey e-mail. Which, in customer service, is often.

It is, in fact, the definition of the job.
