Meanwhile got my results from the speed dating I did Saturday. I marked 1 person for friends, and 4 people as friends or date. I was v proud of myself because that’s like four more people than I would usually mark? Sadly the results gave me only two people who marked me as friends. Bummer. Especial bummer is the one person who I’m already friends with on fb (we are acquaintances/friends of friends) who I thought we had flirted in the past...she didn’t even mark me as friends apparently! Hmph.

My boss has serious problems with Excel. Every so often, he'll ask me to either fix a file or come in and explain to him why the file/spreadsheet is wonky. Sometimes, it turns out that the issue is it's been saved as a CSV file ... which blocks a number of Excel's features.

In happier news, release the turtles!

Our wings are not tired.

Mal suggested that I add "Get my team to use the right software for the job" to my annual goals.

Excellent gaol.

There's been an oil spill in Israel - I saw a brief article about it earlier - and a number of (endangered) sea turtles were brought in with oil in their breathing passages and their digestive systems. They're cleaning out the airways and are now feeding the turtles mayonnaise, which seemingly cleans out their digestive systems.

Huh. Unexpected helpfulness point to mayonnaise

Better the turtles than me—I think I'd take my chances with the oil.

Maybe she didn't think she needed to because you already are in contact?

Jeez, my workplace is really trying to make Wednesdays as much of a trial as Tuesdays. Do not want.
