We just e-mailed each other before.

Zenkitty, yeah, Keith hardly had to say anything. But he did, cause that's how Olbermann rolls.

R2-D2, GOB Bluth & Other Fictional Folks Who Stopped by Sesame Street

Back in 1976, Margaret Hamilton reprised her role as the Wicked Witch of the West. She was flying over Sesame Street when she lost her broom. The broom was found by David, who refused to hand it over for fear of what the witch might do with it. The Wicked Witch responded by making it rain inside Hooper’s Store and threatening to turn Big Bird into a feather duster. After many frightened children, angry parents, and strongly-worded letters, the Children’s Television Workshop decided not to re-air the episode.

Huh.

Also,

Back in 1980, Big Bird saw a flying saucer touch down, but none of the adults believed him. Naturally, once their backs are turned, C-3PO and R2-D2 strolled on by. They’d come to Sesame Street to deliver a holographic message to Oscar from Lothar the Grouch. The important message: “Get Lost!” The droids stuck around for two episodes, playing games and singing songs. And then R2-D2 fell in love with a fire hydrant.

Interoffice IM is great for gossiping about co-workers you don't want to talk about out loud

The reason Plei and I use it! Plus the fact that we're in different buildings.

I had one co-worker I'd gossip with over IM, and he was the next cube over, with a low wall. I like to know no one else can see.

In this job, I'm fresh and new and have no interest in that sort of stuff. So it's all bizness-related and most of my transcripts get saved, so it might as well be email.

Make Cookies in 90 Seconds with Your Waffle Iron

Baking cookies in your oven is fine and all, but if you want to turn out some tasty cookies in a very short time, consider turning to your trusty waffle iron. Turns out you're only 90 second away from crispy, chewy, cookie-goodness.

Oh, shit. Yet ANOTHER shooting today. Seriously, WTF is wrong with people?

I can just see the headlines: Christian Opens Fire in Office Building.

Well, right? I mean, if it's so important that the Major who was the gunman at Ft. Hood is Muslim, then SURELY the religion of today's shooter is important, too! Right?

(Not that I know he's a Christian, but just by playing the odds, he probably is.)

Make Cookies in 90 Seconds with Your Waffle Iron

Oooh. I like it. Not having to turn on my oven in the summer is always good, and cookieless summers are nobody's friend.

Interoffice IM is great for gossiping about co-workers you don't want to talk about out loud. Er, I mean collaborating on projects.

Right on. Kind of like this here, I am all for non-work that looks the same as working! (I.e., sitting at your desk, typing on the computer.)
