Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I wonder if, in 17 years or so, B.org will contain Buffista sprog. Will they join us? Will they break away and form a new org, bent on world domination? Will they eschew all that stuff their parents are into, in favor of the new brain implants? Will there indeed be second-generation Buffistas? And if so, will we finally get our own zip code?

Happy Birthday Noah and Grace and K-bug!
So tomorrow, I am finally getting my port removed. Assuming I don't die, that will be a good thing!

So maybe I'm glad I never did pursue a federal job when I was in DC?
Heh. To be fair, things have only gotten utterly ridiculous in the last few years, because of the new rules about veterans' hiring. So far as I can tell.
bon, I had no idea it was so nuts there. Argh.

Thanks, Ginger. If my fluorescent lighting only intermittently actually turns on when I flip the switch, or takes hours to light up, is that just something tubes do when they are old and need replacing, or do I need to worry about my wiring?

-t, it doesn't sound like wiring. Old fluorescents get dimmer and slower to light, but not so much intermittent. It might be the ballast. Do you know how old the fixtures are?

I don't, they're at least 4 years old, probably less than 30 but where in that range I couldn't say. The kitchen was redone in the 80s, I think, but I'm basing that off when the microwave model was available, so it's hardly precise. And who knows if the lights were done at the same time.
It's possible they are not so much intermittently refusing to light entirely as I get impatient and turn them off before they come on. But if it's not likely a wiring issue I'll try replacing the tubes and see if that fixes it.

Suzi, did K-Bug locate her gift after your scavenger hunt? What a great idea! Happy birthday to her!
