I think I need to bring in a tape measure to see what is 20 feet away from me for me to look at when it's time to give my eyes a break.

Having a wall of windows looking out over a valley and a lake with mountains fifteen miles away makes it easy. Though I tend to stare at the houses in the subdivision just down the hill, looking to see which garages are open.

My college, as part of its May Day celebration, would have a hoop race (girls in white pushing hoops as they ran down a hill ... quite decorative). One year, I borrowed a hoop from someone who wasn't running ... I twisted an ankle and, by the time I finished, everyone else had packed up and left.

It's 87 fucking degrees F here in mid-April. This summer is going to be hellish.

"Nor do airlines charge travelers additional money for the meals that they are served during flights."

American Airlines sure does. I was irritated.

For first class passengers? I thought that was the point they were making, that in other industries paying for the premium usually buys other perqs with it.

I realize we live in different parts of the country, but I had the same thought. Hot spring is not on!

I was looking through an error log and saw this line: SendVisitorToAllChildren (Visitor visitor)

That's not ominous.

Oh, well, no. I'm just a commoner.

SendVisitorToAllChildren (Visitor visitor)

That is creepy!

That is creepy!

That's a "the computers are coming to kill us" sci-fi movie waiting to happen.

Just lost the whole afternoon's worth of work because I answered the question the IT guy asked me, as opposed to telling him what he actually needed to know (because I didn't know what he needed to know). He deleted the folder containing the proof I was working on, I didn't realize it, and now he can't get it back. FUCK.
