I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My pets are being fine this morning, but I dreamt that Walter stole someone's sandwich and slipped his leash (although he then came right to me when I called him. Ah, dreams)

Apparently there have been complaints about this guy before -- he's "interpreted" other events where deaf people have said that he was just waving his hands around, not actually signing anything. [link]

I can't even believe that happened. Maybe because Rochester has a huge deaf and hard of hearing community, but I know how to get a certified sign language interpreter, and I do not plan large international events!

I think my kitty has kitty dementia, or I have actual things in my walls. She keeps staring at the walls, under the stove, etc. It is so weird.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Guess he uses his "interpreting" to get up on stage with the VIPs ...

I just want to prepare you all for a disruption in the universe. I am very close to having a cleaned off desk at work. The balance must be maintained so havoc will result elsewhere. you have been warned.

msbelle, I came into work today to find random crap that doesn't belong to me on my desk, so I think the ripple has reached the midwest.

I am having an annoyance at work, too. I have a semi-boss who CANNOT WAIT for anything. We have a committee member who wants to call in for a meeting. I run upstairs to check the phone number so I can give it to her-- by the time I came back down, he sent an email telling me to set up the "polycomm" (which is a weird wireless telephone thingie). I call IT and they tell me that the polycomm does not work in that room, so I email back, and say we can use the telephone.

Two hours later I get a confirmation from IT that the polycomm would be set up- from a different IT person-- so I am furious beyond all proportion because a) we don't need the poly comm, b) I look like an idiot and c) why did semi boss ask IT himself!?!?! I just told him it wouldn't work.

So I talk to IT, and I guess the one IT person is new and didn't know it didn't work, but semi-boss had called the same person I talked to and was told it didn't work.

But I don't understand and now am just unreasonably furious! WHY semi-boss-man, why?
