My laptop is starting to have overheating issues. Are HPs still considered to be iffy quality? What about Lenovos?
What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

Coding and Sleeping
Dunno about HPs. I had a terrible customer service experience with HP and have avoided any HP product since.
My Lenovo Thinkpad Edge (i.e. the cheap Thinkpad) is five years old and has had zero issues. The only thing is that the battery has gone from about 8-9 hours to 6-7 hours, but that's the way batteries work.
Thinkpad T series laptops should hold up very well as those are the typical corporate ones. I've thought about my next laptop being a refurbished T series as they are available cheap that way from enterprise customers turning over their inventory for newer models.

Does anyone else think it is odd that Kareem Abdul Jabbar wrote a fiction book about Mycroft Holmes?
I did think it was odd, but interesting. I bought the ebook when I caught it on sale. It wasn't bad, wasn't great. 3 stars probably?
Connie, one I picked up (but haven't started yet) on a recent trip to Mysterious Galaxy is alt.sherlock.net. 3 AU Sherlock short stories. Looks interesting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, I've done one half of one performance review, and I think I deserve a treat already! That is not true. (At least I only have 4 to do.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Crap! Someone or somehow the freezer got left open last night and now everything in my fridge has defrosted. Ugh. Now I have to figure out what to keep and what to toss.
Any clue how I determine what is safe to keep?

Overnight I would toss everything, but I'm super paranoid about that kind of thing.

I thought I would be too, sj, but my paranoia is tempered by my annoyance. I looked it up online and we seem to have skimmed the magic line of 40 degrees/still has ice crystals for the stuff in the deep freeze, but tossing much of the rest.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I would eat as much as I could without checking, but I gamble with food a lot and sometimes lose.
I stayed home yesterday from work feeling yuck. The same yuck I get every couple of weeks where nothing is really wrong, but I can sleep all day. Usually I still go to work, but decided against it yesterday. Today other people were scheduled to be out at work so I really had to come in (if I was legit sick I would not). Thankfully it is a very quiet day at work.

Oh no, Burrell! That's a bummer.
Sometimes you just need the day, Rebecca.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm home with the little guy. He's napping right now. Hopefully his temperature will stay below 100, and he can go back to daycare tomorrow.
