During lunch, we started talking about how some people send their dearly departed household pets to the taxidermist to keep them around forever. Then of course, it degraded into, “What if they started doing it to people?”
Of course, it would be awful. So we started thinking about what the best name for said business would be.
FuriousGeorge comes up with, “Rig-Amour-tis”
Heh heh. . .
Er, yeah.
p1r4t3s r0xx0r!!!111 I’m both amused and appalled by the whole l33t sp33k phenomenon. While I have been known to spout “That is TEH SUXX0R” in jest, I have yet to actually use it in a non satirical vein. It just annoys me when someone writes something in an IM, and I have to translate it. I think I’m getting old and l4m3.
From the post today:
More weapons of mass destruction have been located in Spring Valley over the past four years than have been found in Iraq
Granted, Spring Valley’s a stone’s throw from my employer, but I’m just plain pleased over the way that teaser line was written.
Here’s the article, “D.C. Gets Update On WWI Cleanup.” It’s also rather disturbing, once you get into the meat of the article.
I have moved into new digs at work for the next two weeks, and I’m up to my knees in various computer parts, cords, accessories, peripherals, boxes, software and detritus from my old office.
I feel like I’m lowering property values on the second floor. I would say that the only thing missing is a gutted computer up on blocks in the front yard, but I already have one out there on the floor. They have moved me to an open air cubicle which in theory, would make it less private, but I’ve made privacy screens out of secondary and tertiary computers that I’ve been working on. Thank god for kvm switches.
The upside of this is that I get to order new furniture, since my old desk was bolted to the wall, and they had to junk it to install the new flooring. The other upside is that it’s only for two weeks.
Now it’s time to play my music loud and start inviting my friends over for parties. Since IT folks are generally considered “undesirables,” I figure that the additional annoyances should get me my old office back post haste.
