But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

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

But that's your voice on the message, LeN. That's a step up from the obviously-not-them messages I keep bumping into.

I mean, if you call my landline, I do say my name, but it's in the middle of flatly accented French, so I don't expect anyone to pick it up--but anyone who's spent more than 10 minutes with me knows they got the right number.

I don't actually remember what my Google message is, but it's my voice.

The guy who "molests" my food came by yesterday, and I have some Jamaican preserved plums. He asked what they were, and I reached over to pick them up from in front of him, saying "I want to train you out of going into the food on my desk. Here, let me give you one." He just came by again and announced he was there to molest my desk. I told him to back off or I'd have to hurt him.

As long as no one takes it to HR, we might be okay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My cousin has a generic auto-voice vm message, and it confuses my grandmother every single time.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

What I see I didn't state--outgoing messages with no information about whose outgoing message they are except a phone number that you're no longer sure you wrote down right yet, because is this really Le Nubian's phone number? I've never called it before, so maybe it isn't right.

Our home voice mail is just Tim saying "you have reached [our number]; please leave a message." Since I've lived there almost 5 years (egad!), I should really lobby to have him add my damn name, since I prefer VM outgoing messages that identify who they are, not just the number.

meara, what's the other muscle relaxant?

It's...something less strong than flexeril? OK, googled: methocarbamol, aka Robaxin.

Methocarbamol both sucks and blows.

I wrote a script to report all the provocateuse pictures smaller than or equal to 300x400. Is that a decent minimum threshold to be working with? I'm not sure I'll take out all the pictures that are too small by that rubric, but I will try and find bigger versions of same. If I can't...not sure what to do.

I wish I could work out how to tweak the Google search API to automatically trigger the search by image with those small ones as the search term. But I can't even work out how to construct that URL.

Bah - Community is delayed.

I think mine was a generic, and the pills were at least pony-sized and dissolved really fast in your mouth.

Okay--about to break lunch rules and buy something at the cafe downstairs. I just fell behind this weekend.

About Community's start date: I just posted this macro in the comedy thread about that. It is very sad.

I keep forgetting about the comedy thread. D'oh.

Color me unsurprised that basing my vacation requests on the project schedule I had as of Monday resulted in the client deciding to change the workflow this morning.

You guys, did you know heroin was originally a brand name???? [link] (down toward the end) I don't know why I think that's so fascinating.
