Big long post written out, deleted in favor of "cramps, fatigue, long day at work due to commissions and irritating coworker behavior means Vel gets bothered by things way more than she should (Tre interrupting both during a boss fight and after the raid when I was talking to the new shaman, claiming vent lag but admitting that he did know that I ( Read more... )

Had to deal with an escapee kitty, a lack of creamer, and a stubborn belief that this is not actually Monday, but rather still the weekend and I can go back to sleep. If those are the worst of my worries, I guess I'm not doing too poorly. :p Helped two insureds who'd mailed their payments to the wrong place, which was time-consuming but ultimately ( Read more... )

Was talking about how my alarm clock has a remote, so putting it across the room so I have to walk to it to hit snooze isn't effective, but it's also not effective if the remote is reversed so the active end is pointing at you instead. She asked why an alarm closk would even have a remote...

It looks like someone's socks, weird. It IS someone's socks...attached to someone. o_O On second look, it's a homeless, shoeless guy ( Read more... )

Taking a sick day is no fun if you're too sick to enjoy it and spend a full 7 hours in bed asleep. :< Though I will say, having a sore throat DOES add verisimilitude to calling in sick; I somehow feel better doing it when I'm a bit croaky, as if they can HEAR that I feel like shit. Not that I think they wouldn't believe me...I do tend to hoard my ( Read more... )

Intel Sandy Bridge motherboard chipset has a manufacturing flaw involving corruption of the SATA ports over time. How does this manifest? Freezing under heavy load. Mouse cursor able to move sometimes, sound plays, but everything else is frozen. Missing hard drive info from the BIOS screen. Crashing even under normal temperatures. Yes, yes, yes and ( Read more... )
