Ok. Fine. You Win.

Here’s a cat picture. This is Kat. He’s a brute. He’s also foul tempered, has an attitude to match that of any teenager, and is surprisingly photogenic (Don’t believe the cute. It’s a ploy. I just don’t know what it’s a ploy FOR.) His nicknames are Mister Furry, Mister Pissy, and Sir.

Hamsters and the Like

This Jackalope Feltidermy immediately made me think of this. (Really. Click the link. You trust me don’t you?) ADDENDUM the First: OK. I think I have to put the computer away now. I just played the hamster taxidermy song two times in a row (well it is short) and if I play it again Michael might come [...]

Adobe: Worse Help Files than Freaking Microsoft

As one might conclude from my post yesterday, my now top priority project is to redo our documentation for Dreamweaver and Photoshop, which Photoshop on the top of the pile, since I have to teach that sooner. Not only have there been major changes between Photoshop CS and Photoshop CS3, I am now reminded why I [...]

Sometimes There Is Nothing to Do But Laugh

So I had to teach Intro to Photoshop this afternoon. First off, I am not an expert in Photoshop–far from it. I can do the basics, but any of the more esoteric stuff? Forget it. But that’s okay usually, because this is a very basic class. So I walk into class, we open up the program, and [...]

Overheard

Any conversation that contains the phrase, “well, guess who’s in jail!” does NOT need to occur while you are pooping in a public restroom. I’m just saying.

Still Monday?

Feels like it. I’m having a rough day today, so sorry if I’m extra cranky. Too much in my life right now that I cannot control, and it’s making me extremely tense. So… out of control, really tense, on the edge of freaking out. This is going to be an awesome day! ADDENDUM the First: Went out to lunch with a [...]

Monday? You Bet!

And lo did the fairy of annoyance swoop down with her magic wand and say, “HA! You thought you wanted to get work done today? HA!” And lo did I spend many hours at the front desk, answering the same questions, over and over. “Yes, I need a photo ID. No it does not have to [...]

Fear

I’ve never understood why people like scary things. I hate to be scared. It’s probably due to the fact that I am rather high strung (as in I don’t need caffeine to be wound up and jumpy) and I have a vivid imagination. I never had a fear of the supernatural, excluding a (fully justifiable, I’m sure) [...]

This Isn’t Really Friday Is It?

Hmmm… 9 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s pretty chilly. Too bad I had to leave the house to come to work. Especially since work is going to kick my butt today.

Overheard

A student came up to the GA at the front desk and said, “I think there’s something wrong with the printer. People keep coming up to it and swearing at it!”

Here Kitty!

This is a great story. Mostly because of this quote: I went to unpack and saw some of the clothes and saw it wasn’t my suitcase,” he said. “I was going to close it, and a kitten jumped out and ran under the bed. I screamed like a little girl. Cute cat too. (via Hillbilly Sophisticate)

Hawoozahwah?

Holy crap. We just finished watching the episode “Distractions” from the first season of Heroes. Somehow, my grandmother (who loves this show and was upset we didn’t watch an episode last night) managed to sleep through the entire episode, including me and Michael continually yelling, “WHAT?!” and “YOU’RE KIDDING!” and “HOLY SHIT HE JUST THREW HIM [...]

Block!

Is there a word for something like writer’s block when you know what you need to write but don’t want to? Got up this morning to write (last week I’d strained a muscle in my back, and so skipped sitting in the cold basement, and yesterday I slept through the alarm) knowing what I had to [...]
