Between the fog and the smog, we can no longer see the bottom of the hill my office sits on. This is expected to hang on for another week. It'll be good to be in Vegas.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

This day, IDK, there's a lot of it.
Apparently right angles are passé in modern office buildings, so several offices--all of which have glass walls--are trapezoids, many hallways become narrower or wider without reason, and the windows need to stick out from the walls in angled bays. Bah.
ION, my customer is complaining that his hard drive is just too small at 180 gb. Which, in this day and age, is small, but I remember two floppy disks, one for program and one for data.
