The Natives Are Getting Restless

It has been pointed out to me by an avid reader that it has now been a week without a new post. So here are the interesting things happening at the moment.

Last night was my monthly travel group meeting. In addition to myself and the two usual women there was a third woman there also. There was actually some talk of organizing a group trip. We'll see next month if anything comes of it.

Other things sucking up time are:

• CoH, where I recently made this character, just to see how ridiculous you could make a character. Notice that her breasts are the size of her head but she wears a veil out of modesty.
  
• and a little Sudoku (but only the Evil stuff).

Just Another Day

A co-worker was describing a problem they had been working on.

CW: [...]That's all fine until a link goes down on you.
me: Well, I've never had a link go down on me.
CW: What? You've never had your cable pulled?

And there was much laughter.

Denied

Yesterday, for the first time ever, I was deferred from giving blood. I've given somewhere between 8 and 9 gallons (yes, gallons!) over my lifetime and never been deferred. But yesterday my blood pressure was 86/54 and they won't take it if they get a reading below 90. She checked my other arm (although once she got the first reading it didn't matter) and I was able to get it up to 94/56 by thinking stressful thoughts (but that's hard when you're B-positive, get it?). Oh well, now I know for next time.

Sit Rover Sit, Bad Boy

This is the end of the line for Karl Rove. First, I expect them to try to weasel out of the whole mess but that that won't fly. Meanwhile, watch for Bush to distance himself from this whole fiasco. On the other side, the Democrats will wave this thing around like a stained blue dress for way too long.

No, No, No. You All Sound Perfectly Sane

*blink*blink*blink*

I can't decide if this is funny. Or stupid. Or so stupid it's funny.

And Speaking of E-Mail

I (and many others) received an e-mail this morning from the IT people.

Users on Exchange server [BLAHBLAH] are unable to access their email.

Followed by this one:

The problems with Exchange Server [BLAHBLAH] are now resolved.

Yes, we only hire the best and brightest here!

You Call That a Spam Filter

I received an e-mail this morning that cleverly got past the Yahoo! spam filters by using the subject line:

New Penis Enlargement Patches!

What will they think of next?
