remember 8:00 here is 6:00 for you, so no woodshed for me....

You're going to get your TV 3 hours before I do, so you can join the ladies in the woodshed.

::sigh:: We're giving a demo in ten minutes and no one thought to preview it for the business analyst (moi, naturellement). Needless to say, there's going to have to be a lot of explaining done to justify why it doesn't look like our design documents. I tried to inject myself into the meetings I wasn't invited to, but there's only so much I could do. We're not even close. I don't think it's going to be a good idea to show this to the guys I've been getting requirements from every day. They're going to think there's been a big communications break somewhere along the line. Which there seems to have been.

Awesome, Ginger. Once my plans are finalized, I'll ping you.

Well, this just keeps getting better!

Party in the woodshed!

I am enjoying working from home. Especially enjoying mostly not-working from home, as I've been doing the past couple of days!

AIFG!

Except it won't be in a couple weeks, if I keep this up. The more monstrously unreasonable the deadline, the more my lizard brain says, fuck 'em.

My lizard brain should probably not be in charge here.

French/music quesion?

What does "Lo Boob Oscillator" mean in English? (It's the title of a Stereolab song.)

I wonder if that's the Stereolab equivalent of having your tit in the wringer.

I don't know if I'm in the woodshed for rolling into work a little after 10, considering that I was here until 8 last night.

I'm getting stuff done, but it's at the speed of molasses.

The Rotating Tit? (I obviously know nothing about French!)

My favorite French song title is "Ta Bouche Est Tabu" by Poi Dog Pondering. It makes a great sort-of palindrome, in that they constantly switch between saying "Ta bouche est tabu" (your kiss is taboo) to "Tabu est ta bouche."

Well, that's a relief - Canadian commemorative quarters definitely not nanotech spy devices, according to Pentagon.

Espionage warnings from the Defence Department caused an international sensation a few years ago over reports of mysterious coins with radio frequency transmitters, until they were debunked.

The culprit turned out to be a commemorative quarter in Canada. But at the height of the mystery, senior Pentagon officials speculated whether Canadians were involved in the spy caper.

"I don't think it is an issue of the Canadians being the bad guys," the Pentagon's counterintelligence chief wrote in an exchange of emails obtained this week by The Associated Press, "but then again, who knows."
