Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

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

My onerous task today is laundry, but I haven't done it yet. OTOH, I did make a tuna casserole for dinner, so maybe I'll just count that...

(No seriously, I *have* to do laundry. My clothes can be picked out of the laundry basket and worn again dirty. Aeryn's diapers, nsm.)

Punishingly Intricate

The Vice President, Omar Suleiman, might be an even worse dictator that Mubarak.

Friends of friends in Egypt are hearing he will cede to the military not to the VP. Seems all very confusing at the moment.

Onerous task: deposited $531 in the bank, much in small bills and change (hello, Girl Scout cookies.)

The VP is head of the inteligence servcies (can't remember what they're called), so yeah, kind of scary. Very strong US ties. But the position itself was just created in the last weeks and my understanding is that there is nothing that says he sucedes the president should he step down.

Frankly, ceding to the military would scare me less. So far anyway.

My favorite part, actually, were his chats with his coder.

Oh yes! And the whole exchange where he can't back up his gut feelings with any stats.

One thing Barr vs Anonymous shows is that someone who uses LOL should never get in a pissing contest with a badass hacker.

I'm trying to work my way up to onerousity.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My data entry is mildly onerous. I also need to hit the post office, and find a notary public.

ita, for a notary public, try either a local bank or your library.
