I have been dangerously low on motivation all day. 81 minutes to go.
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.

Really no one was bothered by the creepiness?
Is this a unique to me creepiness?

I don't know who that is.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
msbelle, I wouldn't know him to look at him, but I've seen enough of his columns in the Post to get the creepiness.
Heading to Boskone tomorrow. Must pack...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Steph, we have a similar situation - we have a thing that's a compilation of sections, each addressing a specific issue. There's a new one in the works and the people doing it sent us a PDF - all laid out, looking nothing like the rest of the sections - and it's FULL of charts and images they lifted from a bunch of web sites. I'd asked about copyright and they were all "BAROOOOOO". When I asked for a Word file so we could set it up in the standard layout (as well as getting permission to use all the charts and images) they said there was no Word file ... leaving me to assume that the Acrobat fairy gifted them with the PDF, right from the head of the author.

Setting my auto-responder for a four-day weekend, woohoo! Possibly I should not be quite so gleeful about that. Oh well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Krauthammer is creepy as hell, but creepier than the idea of your going to a TT F2F? Unclear.
I have to schedule some time off before July. If I can't figure out places to go, I should still take off time at home.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Come to the Bay Area! But not in March.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Maybe they used InDesign or Quark XPress (if anyone still uses Quark), and so they took your request extremely literally, and were correct when they said there was no Word file. Did you ask for a source file (literally those words: "source file"), rather than "Word file"? That might work.

I just thought it was perceptive of your subconscious to recognize the creepiness that is Krauthammer.
