He is an idiot who doesn't know how to use apostrophes properly and thinks he should be able to program the system himself so I shouldn't be bothered but I'm really upset about it right now.

I HATE users like this. We usually get (for applications and stuff) Mr. Thinkshesaprogramer who is all, "Yeah good first try. Really needs to [do all this stuff it totally doesn't need to do and probably shouldn't do]but it will do."

OMG, WTF, and also BBQ. I got home (with handouts for my meeting tomorrow, and also groceries) to find the building alarm going off, but nothing apparently wrong. "Luckily" there was a notice on the front door about extermination, so the management company number was handy. I called them and got an answering service person who didn't seem to believe I was calling the right place. Then I called the number on the actual alarm, just in case, but again, the person I talked to had no idea why I was calling her. So I just came up. It is fairly loud, even inside my apartment. And also disconcerting.

I'm also annoyed about the extermination situation, because I can't really be here, I'm concerned about the cat, and I haven't seen any vermin in the year I've lived here!

In short: Bah.

OH THANK GOODNESS. It just stopped.

10 very hairy celebs. It reads sort of like a defense of not shaving, but then Jojo the dog-faced boy? Seriously?

"Evan Bayh" tells me I don't have to read it. Dude's a concern troll. I wish the Emanuel shirts said "I'm running for mayor right now, and it's fucking great."

Timelies all!

Still taking in the election results.

sorry msbelle about the no good, very bad day. Sending love to you and the noodle.

And whoot! Allyson! on the Cocktail Party Physics post.

Just a drive by to say that Iowa sucks. Kept Grassley, re-elected Branstad and ousted 3 Supreme Court Judges who had the gaul to rule the 'one man-one woman' marriage amendment uncostitutional!

They lost their jobs for doing their jobs! Not happy. ;-(

Oh man, them's some sucky days Buffistas are having. It must stop now! *raises picket sign*

Very happy Buck was defeated. Our state senate looks to have a Repub majority with a Dem Governor. Will see what comes of that.

I have a 14 year old boy who is in deep crap with me. All his electronics are in my room. He hasn't mentioned the fact that they are missing as yet. I'm trying to wait until his homework is complete before he gets the talk from me. It wasn't one thing that went wrong today, but a pile of behavioral stuff that finally tipped to where I was absolutely livid earlier today. I'm calmer now, but things still need to change.
