I've missed my registration window more than once in CA, and I've gotten dinged heavily every time. I'm such a doof. No one to blame but myself--most of the time I could have done it online with minimal fuss. It just got lost in a stack of paper.

The DMV clerk I dealt with was really cool. But there were signs everywhere about "DON'T BE LATE". Fines started at $25 and went up to $100 max. But there is no way I paid anything close to $25 late fee.

And yes, Kathy - so glad I never got pulled over. I would have had an utter stupid face cause I had no clue I overdue.

Oh, oh - another WIN. I stopped by the post office to mail the box of polish to Bev and there were people using both of the Priority Mail machines. I poked my head to the counters - no line. I was done with my package before either of the folks at the machine. Woot!!!

Because...there's so much money to be made in science?

Hey, you always hear about those million-dollar studies of things that are stupid! Clearly, the million dollars just go straight into somebody's pocket! Scientists are RICH.

ION, I might just leave early. We are now down to three of 7 people here in my department. Honestly, I could have taken a long lunch and not felt guilty about it, so why not leave 20 minutes early, right?

So Emeline is having a play date with her "boyfriend" today. They had lunch, went to Putt-Putt and are now hanging out at his house with his mom and Joe. I was kind of concerned about it because she has been quite a pistol the past couple of days. However, I just got this picture texted to me with the caption "Geek girl FTW": [link]

I'm gonna stop worrying about it now.

So far today has been FAIL, and it better turn into WIN really soon. I would like to be able to connect to the corporate network for more than 5 minutes at a time, because there is NO WAY IN HELL I am going to the office today.

But! Pete out fetching lunch and blessed, blessed coffee, and in 40 minutes, I make the LJ post for my clothing sale, which means I may have a bunch of spending money soon.

Now! That's What I Call a Bunch of Dogs Wiping Their Butts, Volume 1

This is a supercut of dogs wiping their butts all over the place set to Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 Prelude.

This is pretty cool--Cecil Adams of the Straight Dope decided to revisit Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry to check out both the classic exhibits and some of the new ones to see if it's still a good museum or has gone downhill. Part 1 and Part 2.

I just posted my LJ clothing sale. Time to watch the chaos.

Jilli, I just sent a link of your sale to one of my co-workers who was coveting a ship hat earlier this year.
