Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What are people doing this weekend?

I just arrived in San Francisco!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

That was so prevalent that I finally gave up and wrote macros that added a space before review and another that removed it.

You are a GOLDEN GOD.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I mention, again, the people who sent us a fax when we asked for a screenshot.

I misread that as "sent us a fox" and was momentarily stabbed by envy, because I would much rather have people send me foxes than screenshots.

I just arrived in San Francisco!

LIAR. I am right exactly here in San Francisco, and I see no Tom. Humph.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

The thing that still boggles me is when we asked someone for a screenshot, and they sent an iPhone picture of their computer screen.

I believe I've mentioned the guy who "signed" a legal doc by pulling it up on his computer, affixing a Post It with his signature to the screen oner the signature line, and sending me a iPhone picture of that.

Thrive to spite them

I had a deptartment head who kept every email open until she replied to it. So she'd have 40 emails open, plus other documents. She never shut her computer down and she never understood why it was slow.

When I was trying to help her with something (and not say For the love of all that's holy close something!!) I saw her organizational system for email. Once she replied to an email she moved it to folders by something - date or subject can't remember. EXCEPT emails with attachments. Those were saved as - Date PAPERCLIP.

She got a lot of emails with attacments that related to other emails without attachments I have no idea how she found anything.

All of the brain cells that knew how to write Word macros have since died.

Still the best.

I checked the pantry, and we have no potatoes. CRISIS IMMINENT.
