Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

OH HOLY GOD, now they've sent a power point presentation for the designers to make graphics out of!

That's what, all of 150 ppi? What possible problem you could have getting that ready for a print publication of 300 ppi or better?

This font they apparently had to send us? Helvetica.

If they'd sent you this it might have been more forgivable: [link]

In short, I feel your pain.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I think we may have the right assets now. I don't know that we do, because I can't open them (don't have PS & they won't install it for me because a)contractor 7 b) not a designer. But, I do think it would be helpful if I could nip silly shit in the bud before it got any further.

I'm pretty sure dude just thought I could throw that puppy up on the web and it would look fine @@.

You know, I could be embarrassed that my boss handed me two tampons that fell out of my pocket, but I just can't be bothered...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Man, I am having a crap day for productivity. I don't know what is wrong with me. I think I'm irritated that the SO left this morning to deposit paychecks, which we should have done yesterday so we didn't have to go out in the mud today. Now it's escalated into post office, bank, music store, grocery. Which means that once more for admin day it's me doing admin and him running errands.

Now a) I appreciate him running errands I just wish it were happening on a different day because I have dependencies waiting on him. And b) it's not like I don't need the stuff he's doing to be done.

But somehow this has translated in my brain into "he's not getting anything done until afternoon and therefore I'm not getting anything done until afternoon. Not helpful, brain.

Wow. Started kinda strange and lame and then totes veered off to WTF there at the end.

Dammit! As my friend Wes says, "Oh hey there, boundless human capacity for evil! I forgot you were standing right there, like always."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I'm reading the internal manual for my job's new CRM system, and do you people actually use "CRUD matrix"??? That might be the funniest thing I've read today.
