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.
Hello, I'm Betty White, and on behalf of all of us here at Fabulon I'd like to remind you to celebrate New Year's Eve responsibly. Drink up, not down, and never more than two drinks at a time. Hallucinagens are fun, particularly mushrooms, but not while driving. Stay away from crystal meth and the people who use it. And by all means, use a condom when engaging in any sort of intercourse whatsoever, especially if your escort is of the paid variety. I know mine will be. Have a safe and happy New Year!
Worksafe, although other posts at Fabulon are not.
What's awesome is I can totally imagine Betty White saying all that.
I am "working from home" today because it was too cold and far too snowy for me to deal with 60 minute bus delays! Because we are not a large city and the buses only run every 40 minutes, and I transfer, that is like a 2 hour delay in getting to work. And they usually send us home at noon-- so not worth my time!
Our just graduated new employee didn't know we had New Year's Day off, which cracked me up! He knew about Memorial Day, though.
because Betty White is awesome.
Being at work is less so.
I have just seen a picture of the cutest little piglets ever:
They have wrinkles! They are Shar Pei piglets!
Dudes. Time Warner cable appears to be canceling comedy central, nickelodeon, and MTV.
I read about this earlier this morning. It isn't so much "canceling" as "dispute over how much fees to pay." We went through it a few years with the local Fox channel. The contract runs out, the cable system and the broadcaster can't agree on how much should be paid in fees, so cable system can't carry broadcaster's channels.
Worst case scenario -- you'll lose those channels for a couple of weeks. Then screaming cable subscribers will pressure the two sides into an agreement.
The caption on those piglets:
The pig is a traditional German symbol for good luck at the start of a new year.
Isn't eating the pig the thing for good luck?

That doesn't happen until Oktoberfest.
