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

You know that the WSJ editorialists are all crack-addled crackheads on crack, right?

I want a new place if only it'll get me the hell out of Jacksonville and somewhere a) I really want to be and b) potentially living near friends.

San Francisco!

I am increasingly convinced that our head of IT was personally stopping all the spam, because since he's been on paternity leave, I have all this spam in my in-box! Boo.

I have noticed a significant uptick in spam to my gmail account of late. I only use the address for personal stuff so spam is pretty light.

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

I'm setting up my laptop. Anyone have some good science or entertainment podcasts to recommend? I'm news shy, in that I prefer to read it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Processing medical and childcare reimbursements. No wonder my bank balance seems so low, I haven't sent anything in this year yet, but I keep paying down my credit card where all these charges are put.

Well, at least in 4-6 weeks I should get some big checks in to help with that.

For science, I like the World's Technology Podcast from PRI and Science Talk from Scientific American.

I can't install a fix until you file a ticket. I can't do anything further until I get the fix. I can't get the fix installed until I get project special dispensation. I can't get that until.you.file.a.ticket. For three days you've been asking for details and progress and we keep telling you file a damned ticket.

Until that happens, this is all theoretical.
