Timelies all!
Gotta pack for Florida tonight.(Annual trip to see the folks rather than them coming to us.)
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Huh. People are weird.
I got a call a couple weeks ago from a guy who was looking for historic information about one of our sites; turns out one of his ancestors had worked there. I looked it up and realized that we had demolished our facilities there several decades ago, and we have nothing in our current files about it.
When he called me back, I told him we didn't have anything, pointed him to a well-researched amateur webpage with a lot of useful information, and gave him the telephone number of our organizational historian, who might have advice for him. (His best bet is really the National Archives, since that's where our old files go to die.)
What does he do next? He sends another email to the Big Boss, asking all the same questions I'd already told him we didn't have any information on. Of course, the Big Boss forwards the email to me, and we're back where we started.
Why do people do this?

Because obviously you're just foisting him off and someone else will obviously know more.
edit: it's fun when people start playing Tech Roulette to try and find someone who will give them an answer they like.

Ugh. So, my flight kept saying delayed, so at 1145 I left my house. By the time I got to the airport an hour later, it had been canceled. And now I am flying tomorrow night to Houston (on an airline I have no status on!!), getting in after midnight, and at 11am flying to Dallas, and then to Indy. Ugh. But I used reward points to book a room at the Houston Marriott, so there's that at least. Such a waste of time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Sorry, meara. Was the flight cancelled due to bad weather in Chicago?
meara - Dec 20, 2012 12:41:54 pm PST #5228 of 30001
Yep. The one before it was canceled too. And so everyone is rebooking like mad, and the flights were already pretty full, so...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I think I'll be unaffected other than turbulence since it's a direct, but there is no plane at our gate yet, dunno where it was coming from of course. But I got here ridic early so it's not really time for it to be here yet. Prolly coulda met sara after all, but oh well. If I get stuck, I'm calling my Baltimoreistas!

Pffft. No one's done the research.

One of my friends was going to be flying in from Seattle tomorrow and her flight was cancelled.
And my electricity went out briefly.
I have electric heat.
This is NOT good.
