Saturday, the 23rd, will be Steph L's birthday.
What! She hasn't said anything about it! Where is the countdown??
Inara: We thought we lost you. Mal: Well, I've been right here.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My troupes didn't play Harold. I'm not familiar with the structure.
As predicted it is still my responsibility to get the information into the developer's brain. I'm not sure how I can work the system to get to be the one with no culpability.
Maybe if I weren't an older child...
Psych. Also, j/k.
Maybe if I weren't an idiot.

Jonathan Coulton has a fascinating (to me) discussion of intellectual property and the future of manufacturing here: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I love that Nilly still keeps us on track with celebrations, even though she can't post at all!
Happy birthday, EpicTangent!
I think the person who wrote this document meant effectiveness. What he wrote was affectability.
OMG and LOL.
I just went to the presentation about our most recent employee survey and it was kind of fascinating, but maybe only because I find the COO weirdly compelling. He always seems so frank. But now I don't think I actually got anything from the presentation.

I used to have some stellar developers on my projects. Those days are gone. I just had to walk one through the process of "There is no data for June" through to "I can't run you a report for June."
He was standing there insisting that a) There is no data for June and b) He was going to run me a report for June.
I get really self-conscious when I have to do it, because I am being really rude, but I can't work out any other way to get the right answer.
I really hope the new guy is good. Otherwise bitches be stabbinated, perhaps starting with hari kiri.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Jesse is no help.
I got my nails did at lunch. I was going to do pink base with silver tip, but I just kept the pink base. OPI Aphrodite's Pink Nightie.
The rest of my afternoon is going to be scanning documents and setting up new file structures in my boss' drive for them. The perfect boring low-stress activity I love at work.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Saturday, the 23rd, will be Steph L's birthday.
What! She hasn't said anything about it! Where is the countdown??
I know! I got past 40 and the need to count down just died off. Which is not to say I'm one of those people who thinks being over 40 is The End Of All Things and therefore Not Worth Celebrating and that perhaps I should even Lie About My Age -- not at all. I don't give a crap if people know I'm 89 (spoiler: I AM NOT 89), and there WILL be much celebrating come Saturday.
But, for the record: TWO DAYS UNTIL I AM 41 WOO HOO!!!!

Which reminds me that I really want to take bacon out of my freezer tonight.
And paint my nails silver, maybe tonight. It should be tomorrow night, but I'm going to have CSA-related cooking to do, and no plans tonight, so.
