That's great, Dana!

Not so great, long hours workers. Not due to y'all, obviously, but that sounds like no fun at all.

First day at surprise new job went fine. A few computer accesses I need to, like, do work are not set up yet so I spent the whole day with boss #1 (I have 2, no one knows how that will work, we will all find out together) taking notes on what she was doing so when I do have access maybe I will have some idea what to do. Took a half hour so in the morning to find me a chair. Everyone is at sixes and sevens in the whole company, I think.

Will have to get used to the department vibe, it is both quieter and chattier than I am used to. Drive in was OK, drive home was more traffic, which is irritating but par for the course, I guess. Am rewarding myself with a Hatch burger from Habit and Horizon.

Doing it again tomorrow feels challenging but I'm sure I'll manage.

That was fun, meara.

Settling-in~ma, -t! It sounds not too bad so far.

Those are some long-ass days, sara.

In TV theme song news, I had to drive my Sara to school this morning, and on the way home, the DJ on one station was playing not only '70s theme songs, but also "Sunshine Day" from the Brady Bunch. That was an earworm that was slow to die, let me tell you.

The inverse square law is what's coming into play here. Every time you double the distance between a sound source and a microphone you lose 6dB, so when you are dealing with the very short distances involved between a mic element and an actor's mouth when mounting a microphone on the head, a difference as small as one inch can have a very large impact regarding gain before feedback.

Smart spouse is sexy.

Totally. Aww :)

Did y'all see this "honest trailer" for STTNG? It's freaking hilarious. Oh man.

Palm punches! So many concerts! Worf getting his ass kicked! Acting!

And that awful ripoff of Anne Rice's The Witching Hour gets the calling out it deserves! I believe the Honest Trailers people and I are of one mind regarding which episode of TNG is the Worst Ever.

Pretty sure everyone agrees that Sub Rosa is the worst episode ever. My only contenders would be the one from first season where the dark-skinned people treat women like property and force Yar to fight the dude's wife, and the one with Joe Piscopo.

imdb makes Shades of Grey to be the lowest-rated episode ever, on 3.4. Sub Rosa is right behind it with 5.0.

Shades of Gray gets a break from me because it was a result of a writers' strike. There is no excuse for Sub Rosa.
