Also, they randomly re-"cast" the dog after the first few episodes, and that's just jarring.

They're completely different dogs! It's ridiculous! Heh.

They're talking all the time. We just don't listen.

True that.

It was crazy that they recast the dog on VM without a word...as if fans wouldn't notice. But I still loved "Take Backup."

Aw, now I want to rewatch VM s1.

I made it to work. That alone is a victory. I'm prepping for the training that starts tomorrow. Debating whether I should do an icebreaker of some kind - they all know each other, pretty much, but I don't know them.

If it's not a big group, it's always good to go around saying names and such. And you can add in something like, "What is your favorite pairing of fictional character and inanimate object?"

that assumes they read. "who is your favorite artist" could be interesting to see whether they go for musicians or visual artists.

ION, i just had a really insane conversation with a caller. She said her neighbor had (earlier) threatened her with an axe. I asked for a description, and she said it was about 5" in diameter and circular. My puzzled questions started focusing on the weapon in question b/ that doesn't sound like any "axe" i've ever seen. Then she said "i think they call it a jackhammer" and my head hit the desk.

Or watch TV or movies!

Ooh, tricky.

Then she said "i think they call it a jackhammer" and my head hit the desk.

Maybe it's like how some people refer to their guitar as an axe.

Pizza cutter?

My one experience caslling 911 after seeing a crime led me to realize I could identify the gun (esp the fact that, dude, yes, gun) better than the suspect.

"Can you indetify the person?"

"Biped. Probably? There was a gun. I can describe that. I think the thing carrying it was a person. Ran like a biped?"

Useless.

Just tried to casually make dinner reservations for tonight. Blissfully ignorant. I finally found some but it took until well after I'd called dad boggled that we realized it's Restaurant and Hallmark Holiday. I totally hadn't paid attention. Tomorrow is likely going to be the lowest key, lowest brow. Maybe cheeseburgers. I like cheeseburgers.

Burgerville.

It's annoying me that the cop who closed it out never noted what the weapon actually was. One of my coworkers suggested a discus. I tried describing a hacksaw to the caller, thinking maybe that's what it was (first she said semicircle, then 2 semicircles together to make a circle.) Maybe it was an industrial size pizza cutter.

Concrete saw?
