Well what about a green car or bus.

That would be problematic. Also Christmas trees would be very disconcerting.

The General looks incredibly reminiscent of Alias from the cover of Azure Bonds in the new lingerie (it's obviously not made of chainmail) I got her.
More importantly, she likes it.
I know it's superficial, but damn if I don't love her more.
The next step, then, is lingerie that is actually made from chainmail.
Chilly on the nips - I should know, by Sune - but worth it!

Overslept this morning. So glad I woke up before we had to leave. So now not only did I have to make the school run in my jammies, now I get to go to the grocery store in my jammies! Thankfully I sleep in pretty normal stuff (hogwarts sweatpants and an oversized men’s shirt). So it’s minimally embarrassing. More annoying than anything. And I learned this morning that when it comes to cancellations or delays the high schoolers get no love. Roads are half plowed and icy...eh, they can still make it. :/

Yeeep. My old school district was really bad about that. The city had nothing in place for winter (bulldozed the snow to the median rather than getting a plow) despite being able to reliably expect blizzards every year. They would never cancel school, even when the parking lot was a skating rink and knowing a lot of the kids lived outside the city limits. It usually meant half the kids' parents would call them out, and we'd have to in-house sub for any teachers doing the same.

I wish color-blindness worked like this.

Imagine if we had color receptors like mantis shrimps (who have 12 different receptors) you think people would be ah no i'm X blind I can't see that color I only have 11 receptors :(
Color is interesting. I remember thinking as a child Their is really no way to know if your color green is the same as mine.
It seems like they might not actually be able to see "more" colors - our brains just use weird tricks to get the same effect.
That said, any difference between "your green" and "my green" (so long as you aren't color blind) is functionally academic: we both register the same wavelengths as "green" whether we perceive it the "same" or not.

I don't know what thermometer you're looking at but ours says 1 degree.
Which is actually 2 degrees lower than when I woke up.

+1. :)Congrats to Nobodyshome and Gothbard.Random Trivia Moment: So, our 30th anniversary is coming up, and we're still looking for a new restaurant at which to celebrate. This year we're trying "Sons and Daughters of San Francisco", which sounds chi-chi enough, at least.
And the funniest bit? We qualify. NobodysWife was born in San Francisco. I asked whether we needed to bring her birth certificate. Apparently not.
+2! Gratz you two crazy kids!

Probably going to have Crimson Throne most of the week. Tempted to cancel it at least one day if they can't show me at least a page of progress on their essays.
Kind of strange being on the other side of that situation.

I wish we could have a set schedule for that, but I'm working around all their extracurriculars and work. It usually works out to the rogue pops in before first hour and asks if I'm free after school, then passes the yay or nay to the other five for a majority consensus, and I find out based on whether or not I have an after-school invasion.

It's efficient laziness. They could do four tests properly and wait for procedure...oooooor they could half-ass knocking out all of them and take an early lunch. What? I'm done with my work. Don't lecture me, old man.

I used to have a history professor who kept a halberd in his office. Not a replica. A m*@^#%()&%ing halberd.

7DttG: Cut the Plague Rats and shorten the vampire spawn, cut a few things out of the manor and temple
EfOK: Hint-drop about diplomatically approaching Pilts (which is not difficult with our summoner of the occasionally silvered tongue. He tries it on everything, and now I know how Orthos felt in KM)
Haven't had time to scan the other three yet.

I stand corrected, without the windchill we're up to a nearly spring like 18 degrees.

if its happening this much, I'm a bit concerned. I don't think its laziness or defiance, I think it is more corporate culture. Who is the first person let go when layoffs come around? The guy doing nothing. Who is the last guy thought about when raises come? The guy doing nothing. I know I would have issues sitting around my workplace doing nothing, and they would have issues with me, even if they told me to do nothing.

Here's the issue:
How it's supposed to work:
Senior Colleague IMs Me: Hey, NobodysHome! This step didn't work the way it was supposed to. What should I do?
NobodysHome: Hang on... let me check...
NH: OK, the problem is xxx. Just do yyy, make a note, and move on.
SC: Done, and done.
Total time spent sitting around doing nothing: Under 3 minutes.
How it's working with other team members:
NobodysHome IMs Junior Colleague: Hey, JC! This step didn't work the way it was supposed to. What should I do?
JC: Oh, sorry! I didn't notice you were trying to get in touch with me! Let me take a look-see...
Total time spent sitting around doing nothing: 55 minutes.
So we have a process whereby you're supposed to be monitoring your IMs and e-mails for issues. The junior members of our group aren't doing so, AND they're assuming we aren't doing so either, so they're not reaching out at all.
To say, "I don't want to endanger my job by sitting around and doing nothing" when your concrete action is, "IM the author" and you don't do that is NOT going to do anything for your job security.
Speaking of which, we're losing a team member. Anyone U.S.-based have a computer background that shows up on a resume? (Sorry, but unlike my real-time job, the HR department at our global megacorporation filters out any resumes that don't match the listed prereqs, which is a HUGE PITA because I can't recommend people I think would do well because HR tosses 'em out because they don't have a "B.A." after their name. Feh)
EDIT: And Global Megacorporation doesn't DO layoffs. In my 13+-year history with the department, I've never seen a single person laid off except when we were acquired, and even then most people left of their own free will.

There is at least one hawk that locates its prey not only with sharper sight, but by seeing more of the light spectrum -- and the nature documentary narrator who told me this is English, so you know he's right. Its favored prey is mice, who pee all over the fields they live in. To us, the pee is the usual shallow yellow that fades right into greenery -- but to the hawks, it's a vivid ultraviolet that stands out against the green background and leads the hawks right to dinner.
