OMG I want to stab someone. And/or go to sleep.

Go for the two-for-one. Stab someone and then go to sleep.

Or, you know, stab someone IN your sleep.

Just had my review--not too bad! Got the raise that everyone else is getting, and my rating was just above "meets expectations," which is a 3; boss said if she had the option, she'd give me a 3 1/2.

Stab someone and then go to sleep.

That would be so satisfying! But no. I will continue working on my stupid documents that I hate.

I am not good with the Simpsons quotes. Very out of the loop. But I do understand they will be getting a WGA award this period.

stab someone IN your sleep

Those are my dreams. Or you could have one of the Winchester brothers do it--also works for my dreams.

Aims, I think, said she thought I'd just been spelling dreamt wrong the whole time. ::sniff::

It was, indeed, me who thought that. However, I have since embraced my Queen's English and even use practice/practise and say things like "bloody" and "que" and "Bugger this for a game of bananas." I blame the daily interaction with my co-worker Jude who is from West London.

"que"

(Queue.)

say things like "bloody" and "que" and "Bugger this for a game of bananas."

Umm, "queue", right?

I've never heard game of bananas. Game of soldiers, not that I know what it means literally.

Is this the thread where we discuss women who didn't know they were pregnant?

Chile weightlifter has unexpected baby during training

Chilean Olympic weightlifter Elizabeth Poblete has given birth to a baby boy during a training session, without having known she was pregnant.

Ms Poblete, 22, who lives in Brazil, said she had felt unwell but had had no idea she was expecting a baby.

The boy was three months premature and was taken to hospital with his mother, where he remains in intensive care.

...

Ms Poblete began to feel unwell during training on 8 December, as she was preparing to take part in a competition.

Shortly after, she gave birth to a baby weighing only 1.2kg (2.25lbs) and measuring about 34cm (14 inches).

"que"

Do you mean queue? (eta: Geez, I post slow.)

I'd really like to take a nap, but I should go shopping now while I have some time.

Airport Security Puts Three Bullets Through MacBook, Hard Drive Survives

US citizen Lily Sussman took a vacation in Israel, to visit extended family there and see the sights — all the usual tourist things. On the way in, though, the security forces got rather serious.

After pulling her aside for questioning, reading her journal and even flicking through her camera to check the photos (hint: don’t take snaps of “graffiti, which read “Fuck” scrawled next to the Jewish star of David”), she was left alone. An announcement was made over the airport speakers, which Lily remembers as something like “do not to be alarmed by gunshots because the Israeli security needs to blow up suspicious passenger luggage.”

In fact they didn’t blow anything up. Instead, they put three bullets through the MacBook, gave it back to the now rather upset Lily and let her be on her way. The security forces didn’t even ask for her password.

The amazing part is that not a single piece of information was destroyed: The bullets miraculously missed the MacBook’s hard drive. And despite the holes rent on the casing, the body of the MacBook has kept together quite well. If it worked, it would be the ultimate case-mod. So what should we take away from this incident? Back up your files. If your computer gets shot by airport security, you may not be as lucky.
