I'll be alright, I guess. What's funny is about 30 minutes ago, I was complaining to 2nd shift about how, according to the website, power at my house was still down (with an undetermined cause) after over 6 hours. Then I walked down the hall to the bathroom to get changed into my work clothes and, as I opened the door, my phone beeped. It was a text from the power company saying "Your power is restored (cause still undetermined)". Great timing.

Looks like everyone's power is out.
How long until cannibalism sets in?
I only get the lamb, but it's all quite good. Very oily though, so be careful if you have that kind of food issue.

Yesterday, I learned that Furbies are absolutely, positively, 100% NOT kosher, which I think is very useful to know.
I stumbled across a recipe talking about and it sounded good. I've never had it.
The timing of these two posts made for an amazing adventure into toy-based culinary horrors.

Limey's post wasn't there after I replied... but it is now? Huh.
I've never tried to eat a Furbie though.

clearly, you need to squeeze a lime on top of it.

If I don't vent these things, I just sit here with one eye twitching.
Tech: So what time zone are you in?
User: I'm in Eastern Time now.
Tech: You're on Eastern...now?
User: Yeah, I just moved to Georgia.
Tech: Oh, ok. So where were you before?
User: Indiana.
Tech: Oh, where in Indiana?
Me, interjecting: Which means she was on Eastern time before as well.
User: Lansing, near Calumet City.
Tech: Oh, Lansing, that's south of Chicago, right?
Me, interjecting again: Which means she lived in Illinois, not Indiana.
The conversation could have gone like this:
Q: Do you know where you live?
A: I like flowers.

out of fairness, I keep forgetting where the line is myself. I keep thinking Illinois is eastern time.

I've never personally tried to eat a Furbie, but there are several people I'd be willing to volunteer for taste-testing Furbies...

They're the talking owl-like things that were popular a decade or so back. The ones I based a gremlin on that I posted a few months back (statblock in profile).

If they weren't ritually unclean before, they dangin' well would be afterwards.

Update thread says it's been pushed back an hour.
Hasn't been updated since, and the vigil for the not-dead-not-yet-undead forums continues.

When I was still on the phones doing tech support, I used to get asked at least once a day where the call center was. I started telling callers we were located about 90 miles west of Tampa. No one ever caught on that would have put us well offshore in the Gulf.

Right now, I'd like to drop off a lot of new employees to your call center.

We just had two new hires lock themselves out of their accounts while answering their own security questions.
Not typing in the answers they previously set up...oh no...
I mean this is their first day.
And they were going through the set up...telling the system what the answers were for the very first time...
I've never seen one person do that before. Today two of them did it simultaneously.
This is a special crop.
