Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

True story: my company's "IT guy" (scare quotes seem to apply here) just came over to my desk with an Iomega hard drive and pointed to a port on the back.

Him: "What's that? I can't connect it to my computer."
Me: "A firewire port. You need my firewire cable?"
Him: "What's firewire?"

Yes, he's the on-staff "computer guy" for a company whose entire production department is Macs. Needless to say, I (and sometimes chatty co-worker) am the entire Mac tech support department for the company.

What's. Firewire.

Should I vibrate the plants? I have flowers and no tomato!

It does help. While some people use actual vibrators, I just tap the stem near the flowers.

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

I had a very similar conversation with one of my co-workers yesterday, the major difference being that she is a researcher and I, the tech person, was the one with the answers. (And the correct cable - she was trying to plug a Firewire 400 cable into a Firewire 800 port, and it wasn't going well.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

(And the correct cable - she was trying to plug a Firewire 400 cable into a Firewire 800 port, and it wasn't going well.)

Yes, yes, I see. Clearly she needed two cables to make them fit.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I think the air conditioning is still out on my hallway. If this continues, I'm taking my computer and working from home.

I'm trying to come up with a good Georgia O'Keefe joke here, but it's just not coming together.
