stuff and things that made me giggle
happy birthday gnomi! who is observing the holy sabbath and won't see this, but still. you're my favorite lunch date and i hope you're having cake!
dancing boys: *hora*
i now have a new laptop at work and everything, er, works. so i did a couple online trainings today - privacy and harassment - the harassment one was pretty superficial and concentrated only on fairly obvious examples of illegal harassment, but the privacy one was oddly fun, mostly because of the examples they used in their little quizzes. (you know - you read up on one aspect of company privacy policy or what should be kept confidential and how, and then you answer a couple questions to make sure you understand.) i was tested on david who was doing work for a client called tin machine, billy joe who was doing work for armstrong co, courtney and frances (i can't remember their context, tho), and in the section about anonymizing data, the examples of personal info were sheena ramone, veronica costello, and jeremy pearl. i had way too much fun with that, and i bet whoever wrote up the training did too.
this is what happens when you tweet about not being able to find the fish you want at sainbury's. (i share just for the halibut.)
your scholarly random for the day - cats and medieval manuscripts. pawprints, pee, and mice.
beware the sugarfree gummy bears - they're cute but deadly, and they fight back.
gingerbread dinosaurs curse their sudden but inevitable betrayal.
starbucks has a flan-flavored latte - which i think sounds kind of gross, but it inspires cute and punny signboard art.
