Cordelia ,'You're Welcome'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Love that. I did my annual email prank at work. We handle unreleased movies and TV shows, so we have to have all kinds of security measures in place--employees cannot bring phones on the production floor, etc. Today, I told the staff that clients now require that we take DNA samples from everyone so we can trace any assets which go missing. I ends the email with "Open up and say Ah."
My signature referenced April fools, so no one would be fooled for long. People seem to be digging it so far.
Tumblr's prank, while harmless, is annoying because there's no way to turn it off except with adblock. I do not want the animated photocopier cousin of Clippy bouncing around my dash. KILL IT.
Nora, I love that prank.
One of the commenters on the article about the jet is Clark Kent! Hee!
I'm not clicking the link right now, but I love the idea behind that one.
So, when we were in Iceland I kept seeing the word "skart" on merchandise and signs, that's my username in our Citrix system (first four letters of my last name plus first initial, so slightly more personal than that may sound) so I was really curious what it means but the one salesperson I asked didn't speak Icelandic. Google says it means "jewelry". Nifty.
I think that skart is broader than jewelry, at least in Norse. More like "Sunday Best" or what you bring out when you have company. In Viking culture, things that display your wealth and good taste.

Ah, the good axe and sword, with attendant kick-ass gold and enamel fittings
Nice. I'm very fancy.
So msbelle is The Nicest and -t is Very Fancy? Dig it.
Hour and a half left in the day. I'm not exactly out of stuff to do, but I don't want to start any of the stuff that should be done. Our reminder e-mail that Friday is a holiday also said tomorrow would be a "full workday" which I think means we don't get to leave early - seems to be affecting my attitude today.
ETA also, it has become apparent that I should have gone home to get my allergy meds. I feel awful. Being Very Fancy can only help so much with that (it does help).
