I am also highly influenced by my mom, who basically felt that helping on a project was "cheating" and that all the other parents should

We have a similar attitude in our district. Less cheating and more like, "My kid has more education than I have" so I never have presupposes parental involvement.

My current work pet peeve is that our corporate network is being wonky, making working from home today an exciting game of am I still connected? Can I check in this file?

My non-work pet peeve is OH MY GOD SINUS MIGRAINE. Remind me again why drilling a hole in my head is not a good idea?

Oh, and for those of you not on LJ, here is the post with some of the photos from the fancy gothy event I went to on Saturday night: [link]

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

My current work pet peeve is that I'm not there. I'm working from home, but I still don't like it.

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

I can't think of any pet peeves at work. I could complain about when I do a bunch of work and the client decides not to use what I did, but we still get paid so it's not a big deal to me. So my biggest work complaint would have to be lack of restaurants at our location.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Pet Peeve at Work:

My biggest one right now is I Don't Have A Job.

Though I'm also reminded of Matt Groening's work complaint, "They make me do stuff I don't particularly want to do."

Barbara Walters is shaking her head thinking, "I gave him every opportunity to say something when I interviewed him."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Urgh. I woke up a bunch of times last night. (The power went out on our street about 9:45 last night, and came back on around 1 am. That was one. Other times involve the cat)

Passover starts tonight, and we are going to G's mom's house for seder.

Who wants to get their geek on?

Here's a fascinating article about the distinction between Babbage's Difference Engine and his Analytical Engine and why the Analytical was the revolution that didn't happen.

Though the most interesting part to me was the whole universe evoked of Mathematical Committees in charge of creating vast mathematical tables.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I really thought he had done that already.
