Sounds about right to me, given all those circumstances.
Nah, that's fair. Now I'm semi-considering leaving early, because why not, but maybe I'll save that for Friday. Of course we're all leaving early tomorrow, to go to the bar.

English is promiscuous and will breed with any language.
My office's Virtual Library has a quote randomizer which includes a quote about how English will drag another language down a dark alley, beat it silly, and then ransack its pockets for spare vocabulary.

Strega,
you make a lot of sense, but the "Lost" bitterness thread (at least when I read it) didn't exclude positive comments and it was a fun ass thread! The consequence in "Lost" is that it drove a LOT of people away.

Hee--from Tom's link:
English is essentially Pictish that was attacked out of nowhere by Angles cohabiting with Teutons who were done in by a drunk bunch of Vikings masquerading as Frenchmen who insisted they spoke Latin and Greek but lacked the Arabic in which to convey that. --Bill Hammel

That's hilarious. And now I'm picturing billytea's DW getting stoned on poppies and running around in big circles.

Ah, crap. Coworker just reminded me that we haven't gotten departing coworker a gift of any kind, and we probably should. She's moving out of town almost immediately, to a much smaller place, so... some kind of gift card? But what? I'm inclined to Amazon, just because you can use it for anything, but that seems incredibly lame. Is Zappos too weird, from coworkers? She's totally inappropriate, if that helps.
