I just closed the tab, so I don't have the link handy, but everyone should read the GQ profile of Stephen Colbert.
Seriously. He's my new Yoda. Here's the link.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Yay job!
On opposite job news front, we are letting someone go here today. He was upset with work stuff last week, went home got drunk (we suspect) and sent texts with threats. Very specific killing people threats. Not me, mind you. Things are a wee tense while we all wait for him to get here. He was not here the last two days, told to stay home on suspension.

Yikes, msbelle.
Huh, I can't get to b.org though my work Internet, but I can using the free WiFi from The Gap downstairs. My workplace Internet is just a residential AT&T connection (until the real thing gets hooked up) with a simple Linksys router so I'm pretty sure nothing is being blocked. Weird.

Ah. Our Internet is just plain down. I could still use websites I was already connected to, but once I disconnect then it's all over. Guess I'll stick with The Gap for now.

And it is done and over and he is gone and no drama at all. Thank dog. I work on a truck yard and offices are a trailer, so no building security. It's Texas. All these guys have guns. Many of them make bad impulsive decisions, so I do get on edge when there is an issue. Now I'll be coming down from the being wound upness of it all.

Scary, msbelle!
Yay for figuring it out Gud, even if the answer is "argh, no interwebs!"
Yall, wish me lots and lots of luck and smooth talking from about 815 to 11 my time? I've got an internal interview, am wicked nervous, and afraid they'll be all "you have skillz but try again next time we post this job". Aaaah!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Today's conference-call meeting dissolved into people talking over each other and yelling questions within five minutes, because my boss raised a point that had nothing to do with the matter at hand. The presenter tried desperately to get it under control and assure everyone that this had nothing to do with what was happening, but now everyone is confused and we've spent fifteen minutes answering questions that have zip to do with what we're actually talking about. I often feel like I work with a bunch of drunken teenagers.

Glad it's all over msbelle.
Our Internet problem turns out that nobody paid the bill. This company has revenues of $50 billion and the bill wasn't paid.
