Yes, it's weak, but there were two Christmas parties tonight (including one with a company I didn't think I worked for anymore) and, when I got home, there was an urgent request for a website setup. It needed to be done tomorrow, when the Google ad people might start clicking on the link; the client did not want them to get a 404. I understand that. But why wait until Thursday at 5 p.m. to tell me about it? Fortunately, at both parties I adhered to the principle that Grendel, alcoholic beverages, and bosses are an extremely dangerous combination.
Which reminds me of a Fark-like occurrence I heard of yesterday. A man in Florida was arrested for driving while intoxicated. His BAC was more than twice the legal limit. His t-shirt read:
I am not an alcoholic. I am a drunk. Alcoholics go to meetings. Florida ... *sigh* *shrug*
