That definitely makes sense.
Go Jesse!
OK, I think it's time to christen my new teapot.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

These days I use the term "social immunity" rather than "herd immunity" because "I/my kids are not part of anybody's herd!" is part of anti-vax propaganda. Dunno if it does any good or not.

And my fancy new teapot does not fit under the spigot of the water cooler. Where I get hot water, but "water heater" does not seem like the right nomenclature. Did not see that coming.

-t, I know exactly what you mean and bummer.
I feel fairly accomplished. Hit the post office, have had 4 productive meetings, am catching up on e-mail, and soon we are all headed to a brewery (too bad it isn't a distillary, but hey, I'm not paying so it is all good).

Which brewery?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
It's probably a good thing that my desk at work is in lab space rather than in the office. This way I'm not allowed to eat at my desk(safety rules), and I have to go elsewhere to get snacks.

Oh, right - add 4 hour commute to work this morning to my productivity. I get credit for not throat punching anyone at the airport, right?

Not Squatters? Or is Squatters not the "in" place to be anymore? (I don't get to SLC for dining very often, ie, once every few years)

$47 is quite the shipping charge. You are very kind, zuisa.
Head-scratcher work e-mail exchange from today:
Me: "I received both of your communications today about the dates. All that I know right now is that these three won't work. When I know which ones will, I will let you know."
Responder: "Thanks. Do these two dates [that you just said you didn't know about yet] work?"
...WHAT DID I JUST SAY?
In closing, the Salt-N-Pepa GEICO ad makes me smile every time.

Well, there was no blood in the meeting room, but developer lead just grunted at me when I asked if his head developer made it out alive.
It was a classic debate. The software engineer has one idea of what is right, and he's not wrong, from an engineering standpoint. But with the system we have, what the end user needs is not the logic of good engineering. I get it. In this case, the aesthetics do matter more than adhering to internally consistent logic. So we have to make the engineers miserable over what they think is cosmetic. (You really confuse and piss off a user community if you aggressively warn them they can't have something they didn't ask for. Also, if you give them something they didn't ask for and can't use. And we're 20+ years into a system schema that wasn't designed for what we've made it do, decisions made so beyond our control,so SHOEHORN! Thus we have these issues.)
One more fucking day.
