Let's not forget the other WGN kids classics, Ray Raynor (better than Captain Kangaroo any day) and Bozo's Circus. The Chicago-based Bozo was terrific, mostly due to the other characters including Cookie, Wizzo the Magician, and the inimitable Mr. Ned, the ringmaster. When I was a kid, you had to submit your requests for tickets for Bozo's Circus years in advance--we didn't get ours until five years after the parents ordered them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
New Guy took my power supply again. Which, in theory, if I'm not there, I don't care about. AS LONG AS HE PUTS IT BACK. Because once I try and wake up my laptop in the docking station without power, it means I need to restart and I lose all my unsaved data. That query took fifteen minutes to run, and I hadn't even saved the SQL.

That there's a hanging offense. If you know enough to scavenge someone elses power supply (i.e., you know you need power to run those new-fangled computerization thingies), you know enough not to do so.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
ita, can you booby-trap it to shock him the next time he tries to steal it?
I confess, my first fanfic was written about Battle of the Planets. I was 15.

New Guy came in just as I was stealing the power supply back. He was all "oh, good, you found it." Very unapologetic. I told him to put it back where he found it next time. I have no hope that the suggestion took.
Co-worker had me at thinkgeek.com (looking up his fake paper coffee cup), and I noticed this T-shirt. Kinda teared me up. Zoe's the third woman they mention, and they even call out Agent 355! She never gets called out.
I still haven't found my one true mug. I hope it doesn't end up being SPN just because I can't find Buffy or Batman.

I have a mug that I got from a Silicon Graphics sales rep about 15 years ago. The SGI logo has been slowly fading away, and is almost gone now. Just like the company.

Just got an e-mail addressed to "Donna." Bah.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
One of the most freeing things I did when I moved was get rid of mugs from places I've worked that I didn't like that much. I still have many mugs.
