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."
Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think
it was bad; it might have been Latin.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

It's a surprise to me. Not that he's gay, of course, but I figured he'd go to his grave like Liberace, with everyone knowing but no actual public acknowledgment.

Punishingly Intricate
Hey Jesse, one of the judges was Mary (?) from Ace of Cakes.
It was Mary Smith actually. Man there were some GREAT cookies up in that mix.
My work pet peeve is people telling me today who I should get to answer a question that I submitted in a document almost 2 months ago when the document needs to be delivered today by COB. And emailing that person and getting no response. Whatever.
Documents are where they need to be and I'm drinking a beer!

Also awesome!
I am so crazy. Somehow I'm on a mailing list for medical/health studies, and I just got one about an eating study that I would TOTALLY DO if I hadn't already paid for the CSA for the summer. You get paid $1900! And they tell you what to eat for like 5 months, but hey, I could use some new ideas.
