Someone call the guys with the white coats.

I just started hissing obscenities at my laptop for something that wasn't even its fault - a Very Important Database in Washington was misbehaving badly, and my frustration boiled over for a minute there.

Which would have been okay except that two people sitting right next to me gave me very odd looks in response.

*sigh* The world is doomed...

Heard in the office:

"This guy I know wants to know if he can get back the Bill O'Reilly book I borrowed from him. He says he wants to build up a collection of independent-thinking books."

My suggestion: take that Bill O'Reilly book, glue it cover-to-cover with a copy of Franken's book, and send him that.

[This entry has been deemed un-American by the Department of Homeland Security.]

Co-worker got an e-mail from one of his acquaintances asking to have a copy of a Bill O'Reilly book returned to him - because he "wants to build up a library of independent-thinking books."

My response from across the hallway: "Glue the O'Reilly book cover-to-cover with a copy of Al Franken's book and send him that. That'll give you independent, plus fair and balanced."

*wince*

Sorry about the double-post on the same topic. Apparently it took a long time for LJ to record that I'd posted.

Computers seem to hate me today. First the Washington database computers. Then the LJ computer. Then the UPS computer at Staples. (taraljc, look for a largish box on Monday, 'kay?)

It all hopefully worked out sort of okay, though.

Time to ponder food. And the All-Star Game.
