If I was sending a package of CDs to an apartment across from the Pentagon (which I am), would it be a good thing or a bad thing if I wrote “NOT ANTHRAX” across it, considering that the first package of CDs that I sent were damaged beyond use?
addition of condiments or cheese alters nutrition contentI just realized today why those bonus stamps you get from Subway have the store number and ticket number printed on them: so that when you hand it in, they have a record of which stores you’ve been to: geographical data. Or maybe I had too many bowls of paranoia flakes this morning…
Today I am very, very tired. My brain has been affected: at lunch I went to the post office to mail a half-dozen packages, and after everything has been processed realized that I left my wallet in my office, 4 blocks away and 17 stories up. Luckily the mail clerk was extremely nice (as long as I was bringing back cash), but on my extra walk I almost crossed the street for no reason three times.
But hey, I finally got an office phone! 4 for 4 on the week! And a 17″ screen. ViewSonic, yum.
Did SlashDot melt down?
I’m going to go home and sleep now. Bye.
fill our christmas socks with whiskey drinks and chocolate barsmmm, that would be good.
Woman jump-starts her car with infant. No, infants can’t be used as jumper cables. Infants, however, can swallow small ICs usually attached to keys that emit a small signal when brought close to the ignition, necessary for the car to start. This is also another reason not to buy a Ford.
Geez, before I read this I didn’t see how this whole terror/Iraq thing made sense. This states it so succinctly!
hey, wow, life keeps going.Curiously enough, that last entry was #500. Which makes this #501. Funny that.
Today is your typical first day at work: got office, got PC, got logins, mysteriously don’t have phone. Hey, three out of four ain’t bad.
I hope we’re all on the same page here……everyone has noticed that Americans have gone completely wacko, right? I mean, at least when it comes to certain things. Take this, for example. Now, I rode the Greyhound a lot over the summer, and I can’t think why these people wouldn’t have just gone and tried to talk to the driver before, say, firing up the phones and calling in the state patrol. But I do think that this is similar to the situation most computer users come into: given the choice between reading the manual and phoning someone, most people will phone someone. These people did the same thing.
Of course, a few things have shown me what kind of nutty thinking is going on down there across the border. First, there’s Bowling for Columbine. I really want to see this again. It really is a great film about American culture, not just gun culture, but what drives people to arm themselves, in some cases enough to kill everyone on their block (or in their town). Then there’s Gore Vidal’s essay The Enemy Within.
I start my new job tomorrow! Woohoo!
We’ll make our home water-tightAhh, Sleater-Kinney lyrics.
My luck is getting better. Maybe I have horseshoes up my butt or something. I got a new job, I start on Monday. Yes! Damn that makes me happy. Now I can go out and say that my old job was such a farce, yes it was. Maybe sometime I’ll tell the story (with names changed to protect the guilty. grrrr.)
And I got my camera back! (Thanks Uncle Adrian!) So now I can take pictures again.
