Xander ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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.
Maybe follow up with "Okay, could you get me what I need by such and such a time?".
I think I'll go with a "thank you, am tenterhooked until your response" sort of a reply that assumes the info is coming.
But why the fuck would he even assume I wanted street addresses? There were only two sentences in the paragraph. What would imply I wanted to MAIL them anything? He is oddly blatant about brushing people off. Or, well, me.
If it's clear in context, I think you're fine, Jesse.

Heh.

Thanks.
On the idiotic coworker front, the other day I got an email that said, "Has Project X ended? When would the final report be due?" I wrote back saying, "Project X was ultimately called Name A, and I'm attaching the final report we sent last year." I attached the report we sent to Funder. She wrote back asking, "I'm also wondering about Name A. It looks like it was funded by Funder. Is that closed?"
People clearly suck. But not all the time. For instance, DragonCon finally dumped the child-molester: [link]
Rick Perry won't seek another term as governor. Hallelujah.
Not that there aren't plenty of assholes waiting in the wings.

Oh YES, finally! It sounds like this was a legal nightmare, I'm glad the rest of the board was able to work it out.
Does everyone else think this giant Colin Firth as Mr.Darcy statue is both hysterical and terrifying? [link]
I started outlining in a Twitter conversation an imagined movie where it comes to life and starts destroying modern London. Only the mild-mannered and secretly beautiful Austen scholar (which will only be played by Anne Hathaway, if Hollywood has its way) can reach him. But she must protect him (while protecting London) from the bad-ass cop who wants to blow him up. And of course, sparks fly between Annie and the Cop, creating a triangle with Giant Colin Firth Darcy. Who shall she choose? Bonus points for creating a comedy of manners around with misunderstandings and ending with a wedding, a la Austen.
Oh, and Colin Firth is totally Giant Colin Firth Darcy's first victim.

Good news! I needed good news to keep me from punching the patriarchy in the crotch today!

YUP. Although "creepy" was I think the actual word I used to my coworker.
