I keep getting calls from people asking to double check something told to them by this same guy in my office. Apparently, he projects such a strong lack of confidence that whenever he tells people something, they call back to ask someone else.
His lack of confidence is justified, because his answers are usually wrong. This one was "Where do I fax this request?" The fax number he provided is one I have never seen or heard of. WTF.
*facepalm*
Is it someone's relative?
EDIT: Nekkid nepotism?

I don't know what you're talking about, it's beautiful out here!
It's 21.7 Celcius!
^_-
71* F? YES PLEASE.
55*/12.7* C here at the moment, predicted high of 70* that we're probably not going to reach. Not bad, with a jacket, and nice and overcast, but wouldn't complain for slightly warmer =)

Are you sure you don't want to move to Houston?
If I could do so without losing my job and its benefits I probably would =P
Well, not to Houston proper, probably to an outlying suburb. I learned from living in Phoenix I'm not big on big cities. Chattanooga would be pushing it for me, but I thankfully don't live in Chatt proper, but rather in one of the outlying suburbs, which is much more rural and to my liking.

Good morning, everyone.
My grandparent's hat shop turns 98 years today! Founded by my grear-great-grandfather when he first arrived from Asturias (Spain), it's the oldest hat shop in the country. It also features the first automata seen in the country, a mechanical guy who smiles at passer-bys and knocks on the window. Made in France in 1920, it has been banging on the windows for 90 years, and has only stopped twice for repairs and once for an exibition.
So hats up!
In other news, I am terribly hungry right now.
coooooool,
pics of the construct guy? or even better a video?

Also, got sick leave due to the flu.
Glad that situation was somewhat resolved.
Anyone have "fun" party plans for the holidays coming up?

I'm on the northwest side. It's nice, housing is relatively cheap and while the commute can really suck some days, I like it. But I grew up in Detroit, so I've always liked the city. And just about any city is an improvement over the one I grew up in!

**gets message from nationwide help center:**
"Hi, this is John? My computer's not working, please fix it. My phone number is 867-5309. Thanks."
"Well, John, I don't know where you are, anything about your computer, or what's going on with it, and you haven't left me enough information to contact you and find out more.
"Good luck with that problem."

I don't, but I'm a cranky old Scrooge around the holidays. This is always a difficult time of year for me, but I try not to let it detract from the grand kid's fun.
It doesn't help that I have family drama here in Colorado right now, and some issue regarding my family's situation in Texas.
Grumpy Bitter Thorn is grumpy and stressed. :{/

Office Christmas party is tomorrow. I am expecting it to be awkward. The food should be good, though.

O f*** great... They just turned off the gas in the building due to installation malfunction. Yeah, it's better not have gas than to blow up but I ended with some 3 kilograms of raw potatoes and one and-half kilogram of raw carrot, half the package of noodles, very small shred of bread and some apples. I was just going to cook myself dinner made of potatoes and carrot. Bread and apples is what is left to me.

Which does increase the possibility of entertaining awkwardness. :)
