What Nutty said.

The timing works really well, actually, because you can throw it together before bed one night and have it ready just in time for dinner the next. I'm going to try it with whole wheat this weekend I think.

Now I feel inadequate, though.

Yeah, I get this feeling a lot. Stupid smart classmates.

Also, my mother's cat emailed me a picture of himself this morning. He's cute and all, but I'm a little worried for my mother.

My pets have never been very good at picking strong passwords. I'm worried for your mother too.

Thank you for the trap information, everyone.

My cat likes to amuse himself by walking on the keyboard and locking up my PC. He has yet to figure out how to do this on a Mac, though.

Today seems to be inadequacy day. Blah blah careercakes. Hell, I can't even motivate myself to go to the dry cleaner.

People who have pictures of themselves in e-mail signatures? Never not funny.

One of our customers just told me that I am one of two people here at tech support who he thinks knows what they're doing. "If Amy answers the phone, then you pick up, then I know the job's going to get taken care of quickly."

I'm both flattered and appalled.

I've noticed that no one has thought I was male, here in my latest stint of technical support. Three years ago, when I last did TS, people would frequently automatically call me "sir" and such. That hasn't happened at all now.

To women who do technical computer work: does it seem that people find it less odd nowadays that women are doing this work? I get more calls from women in technical positions, too.

Maybe being a girl geek is becoming so common it's loosing its novelty.

Is this some Texas code that I'm not getting?

Megan, you should get your university to pay for you to attend the film festival. My friend goes every year and has a great time. In fact, last year he got to see A Prairie Home Companion before its official release and, better yet, shake Robert Altman's hand.
