Yes. And #2 is correct.
Oh, I totally agree. Asexuality (particularly aromantic and heteroromantic) is non-typical sexuality, but it still isn't queer just by virtue of being non-typical sexuality.
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

Oh my god. I just right-clicked something and it took twenty seven seconds for the menu to pop up. Whoever normally works here must not use this computer much, because... it can't do much.

Looking at zuisa's tagline (When I was nine years old, I think I wanted to be a brontosaurus.) ... well, your (temporary) computer's a dinosaur - is that close enough?

Haha, absolutely.
The tagline is actually a quote from Fringe, but it's still valid. What nine-year-old DOESN'T want to grow up to be a dinosaur?

I spent several months working receptionist temp jobs in DC in 1994-1995, and boy are you taking me back, zuisa! For one thing, this was before the internet. At best I could expect to play computer solitaire; sometimes I had no computer at all, and once I had a typewriter for 2 weeks. In many, many cases I barely had anything to do, and phones never rang. I packed books and read, and studied classical Greek, and typed letters and postcards to people.

I really want to have to stop putting the A/C on. Come on, fall.
Seriously!

This sounds awesome.
I'm SO lucky there's internet, even if the computer is basically useless otherwise. I really should write something or study something. It'd be a much better use of my time.

Very lucky there's internet! I was temping right after college and a lot of places had blocked the web...and some had even blocked solitaire! Sad.

Hah--I was just thinking last night that I really should take the fan out of my window, because it's too cold here now (a week after our very brief "summer")

I had a temp job that was scheduled for 2 days but the work itself took 3 hours to accomplish. Unfortunately, the guy who had ordered the job admitted he had no clue how long it was supposed to take and was not willing to have me sitting doing nothing for a day and a half.
The work involved typing a report from ten minutes of dictation. The guy must have only had experience with people who typed 20 words a minute or something. He got someone who, at the time, was typing 103 WPM and had spent the previous eight years doing transcripts of recorded TV and radio shows. The only reason it took me three hours was because I left a word out of the letter and I was working on an ancient Selectric instead of a word processor.
