Belated Happy Birthday, ChiKat!
Happy Birthday, Sumi!
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

Oh, and I got a photo of a camel in the streets of Jaipur for Aims, but missed the one of the Vampire Diaries billboard in Mumbai. Boo.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Damn you all and your mild colds. I feel like someone ran over my head with a tractor this morning.

Wow!
Happy birthday, Sumi!
Happy belated, Chikat!
I've been pondering something over the weekend and wanted to put it to the board.
How would you feel about Onerous Task Support Group Hour?
Basically, we designate a mutually useful time and everybody that wants to play can address that one thing you've been putting off for too long: Making that phone call, or responding to that email, or canceling that thing, or backing up that system, or debugging that code, writing that documentation, scrubbing that surface, filing those invoices, paying those bills, organizing that closet.
Anybody interested? I'm thinking the combination of peer support and scheduled group activity might be a way for people to get over their various personal roadblocks.

DJ, posting from India! I can't wait to hear all the details about the trip.
Germans protest airport body scanners. No one gets completely naked, for the record.

Yay, India, DJ!
I fixed a toilet this morning. Just the handle/flush mechanism and not perfectly, but it works for now. It's been broken for nearly a month, requiring the removal of the top of the tank and manually pulling the chain to flush.
A good thing to note is that the cheap toilet handles are a complete waste of money. For $10 more at Lowe's, you'll get one that will actually work.

Happy Belated Birthday Chikat!
I've discovered that I have 3 birthday twins amongst my friends on facebook.
My headcold was fast and furious: woke me up Friday night with a horrible running nose. That lasted 'til Saturday afternoon when it switched to stuffiness and slight nausea. Then by Sunday it was stuffiness and a headache. And now I seem to be okay.
I'm still unsure whether it was a cold or a reaction to the flu shot and I'm guessing that the headache was caffeine related.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
How would you feel about Onerous Task Support Group Hour?
I could really use it...I have phone stuff at work I'm flinching away from right now, for no good reason besides just plain not liking phones. It's stupid and it makes me completely infuriated at myself.
