I feel really strongly that all of the people 6 years ago who were waving the flag of "you're anti-patriotic" need to be called on the carpet for their b.s. about not supporting Obama.
Absolutely.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Have any Chicagoans ever watched or participated in the Chitidarod? It's a great idea--teams of five people pull a grocery cart along a route through the city and, at the finish line, have to have at least 40 pounds of food in the cart for food pantries. The rules page is very fun to read:
We have one, too, and it is fucking hilarious to watch.
ION, I spent 3 hours -- THREE HOURS! -- today fighting with my FTP client (Cyberduck). It worked wonderfully for years, and decided yesterday that it no longer likes our printing company's FTP site.
I gave up and downloaded a different program (OneButton FTP), which works just fine. Damn. That's half my day shot, and I haven't even picked up a manuscript yet.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
It was actually at the press qa after.
ETA: The TP was at the QA, not talking to the students.

Man, they've locked down the mac so hard I can't follow their basic instructions to do shit like add printers. I'm just going to keep putting in individual helpdesk calls until someone gives me fucking root or at least unlocks the basic system prefs. Jeezus.

So sad about JD Salinger. I was just looking up info on both Salinger and Harper Lee two days ago.

I feel like I have reached the age where all that seems to happen is that people die. And I am only 36.
The Shiba's are sooo plump. I just want to eat them up. Or nibble their ears.

I wonder if they'd break sooner if I put in add-printers requests one at a time, waiting for one to be added before another request goes in. Cause I have about 15 to add... And then there is the part where I can't use wireless because they've locked down yet something else that shouldn't be.
I do not have a good relationship with our helpdesk.
