I don't mind calls that are ultimately user error, because that's the overwhelming majority. I mean, I almost called the main company help desk the other day because I couldn't get on our intranet site. I finally realized my Caps Lock was on while I was entering my password, although I would have sworn up and down that it was off.

It's just. Some people are walking, talking, e-mailing User Errors.

So very aptly put.

Well, that casts the whole, "Around 3 pm, Robert Goulet shows up and messes with your stuff," commercial in a far more disturbing light

Hah! OMG, that's funny. But I LOVE the commercial with the bunny feet! It's so cute!!

Nora Ephron's Six Stages of Email is pretty funny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What do you call those rubber things you put over cables if you have to run them across the floor? So that you can roll things over them without catching? I need to suggest one to somebody, and I can't work out how to name it.

edit: sometimes asking the question answers it, or at least provides the search terms for Google. 'Tis a cable guard.

I sure as hell hope my SIL's mother doesn't muck this up (she's been pulling some PA stuff about when she's going to visit and really pissing off SIL,) but I've bought my tickets to visit. That's going to be MY week with the boys.

My mother wanted me to visit again this summer, but that just isn't happening. She's still in Alabama, they're going to CO for a week when she gets back, I can't take leave those following weeks until I leave, then school starts up for her and.. I'd love to visit. It's just too complicated to schedule in the next couple months. I'll find out when they have a 4 day weekend this fall or something.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

For the moment at least, it appears that the data has been used mainly to send marketing solicitations to the affected individuals by the companies that bought the information, Fidelty said in its statement.

It is deathly quiet here at work. I guess that's good because I'm trying to refresh my rusty PERL skills. But it's spooky.

And I have no idea if we get to go home early, and if we do I'll probably miss the announcement since I have a doctor's appointment at lunchtime.

Okay, back to PERL.
