'Shindig'
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.
Good luck, Jesse, whatever that may mean in this particular situation.
I would go see the echidna reproductive cell version of West Side Story.
My official hire date anniversary happened while I was on vacation - I've been an employee here a year. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
It takes Fedex employees longer to put together a shipment using their Fedex software at the store than it takes me using the website.
(Observed while waiting in line to just pick up a package.)
Also, miserably muggy out. It may only be 82, but horrid day to walk across campus. Thank god for server room access.
Of possible interest to Jilli: Zero Teapot - Neatorama
Zero in on your love of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas with the ceramic Zero Teapot from the NeatoShop. This frightfully fun collectible looks like Zero the ghost dog, with the handle and the lid designed to showcase his floppy white ears. A jack-o-lantern adorns his long snout.
Also cool: HTML head-tag earrings - Boing Boing
So, on which ear does the <head> tag go and which gets the </head> tag?
We smuggled some diet Mountain Dew up to Hubby yesterday, and his migraines have disappeared. Yay, addiction. But the amusing part is the way the medical staff freaked out over seeing Mountain Dew.
No, not because of unhealthy drinks, not because of chemicals throwing off his treatment, not even because of the caffeine.
The University of Utah has signed an exclusivity agreement with Coca-Cola that no Pepsi products will be allowed on their campus. No, not even in private hands, brought in for personal use. As if a bunch of college aged people are going to forego their Dew.
Also, see their horror at him having a water jug with the logo of a competing medical establishment. "You didn't give me one!" he pointed out. They're going to find him one. I told him they should just tape over the offending logo.
Wow, Connie, that is something else!

That is really funny. I know a lot of people that would have issues with giving up their Pepsi too!
Some serious money gets dealt with at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. An elderly lady was released the day before yesterday, and he gave her good wishes, and she thanked him for raising morale with his collection of odd hats. He thought she seemed a touch more cynical than most people being released from a cancer ward, then he heard later that evening about the new hospital wing and skybridge the lady had written a check for as she left.
Just paid some bills. I hate spending the money, but I get a weird charge of doing it. Sort of like paying my membership fee in the Responsible Adult Club
For Connie (assuming link works):
edit: Shoot, I was trying to link directly to the Responsibility Champion panel, but it won't let me do it. (I printed myself a little copy of that panel for when I'm having a particularly growup sort of day).
I feel like I'm only a somewhat functional adult these days. Like shit gets done, but I'm always way more stressed out than circumstances warrant.
