Though not exactly on point, this reminded me of the first day of a college class on literature and spirituality in which the professor asked us to brainstorm examples of how religion seemed to be playing an increasing role in popular film. One kid raises his hand and says "I know this might not be the most obvious example, but Stigmata. I mean when you really think about it."

i started using keyboard patterns for work to save me having to think of passwords. so now mine are things like uIomNb654 and i can write them down cryptically. everything else is stored encrypted in a keystore on a usb stick (and emailed, encrypted, to webmail account)

I have two (2) sets of headphones - crappy apple buds I keep at home, and a pair of Sennheiser over-ears that I take with me to work and bring home on the weekends.
I left my sennheisers at home this morning so now I have zero (0) headphones at work.
I am now listening to music with my PHONE HEADSET plugged into my computer. It would be more pleasing to have the music transmitted through a tin can on a string.

I left my earbuds on my coffee table and I know that my cat loves them for chewing and wrestling with. Hmm.

I have headphones that I prefer to use, a set of crappy ear buds that I keep in my desk at work for emergencies, and a pair of (actually very nice) headphones that I keep in a case in my purse just in case. I don't use the nice ones daily because they don't have the little clicker mic on them, and that thing is handy.

By the time the phone call is concluding, you should know by now whether or not Roger is feeling any better. What else is there left to say?
And listen. It's not I just abruptly hang-up without warning or anything. It's not like you said "I am finished." in your last post.

M'amm.
So but I appreciate healthy fast lunch options and I like quinoa just fine but paying $8 for half a cup of quinoa and chili is straight bullshit.
I don't think the chili is $8, is it? $7 at the most. Unless they jack up the prices in the Loop.
In any event, I do feel you. Fwiw, the wraps are more filling than the bowls, I've found.
― Cuba Pudding, Jr. (jaymc), Monday, 5 March 2012 20:35 (1 year ago) Permalink
I agree, although I found the wraps to be dense and dry quinoa bombs. The work of chewing them wasn't worth the nutritional or taste enjoying I derived from them.
I stand by Freshii as the best new healthy lunch option in the Loop. Although Wao Bow now offers quinoa as an option with their rice bowls, so there's that, too, if you really fucking need to eat some quinoa like STAT.

I was just talking to coworkers about people who don't say the usual OK bye/Talk to you later/Thanks, bye. There is a lawyer I regularly talk to on the phone who is nice enough, but when the call is over, he just hangs up.
My dad used to do that and it terrified high school friends or people from work who called me. They were constantly asking why he was pissed at them or insisting that he hated them. (E.g. "Hi, is Jesse there?" "No." "OK, could you let him know that we're slow today and he can take the day off?" "Yah, OK." *CLICK*)

Ridiculous password requirements just encourage people to write down their passwords on post-it notes. That's the biggest security risk going imo.

I get v IA at people who disrupt the natural order of ordering things at delis/cafes etc
My biggest IA today is people who order coffee and immediately go and stand right where the drinks are handed out, as though there aren't 5 other people hanging back patiently waiting for the drinks they ordered BEFORE YOU who now have to EXCUSE ME past your ignorant ass to get our coffee. ASS.

I get kind of twitchy when I go to one of my regular haunts and someone doesn't know the usual way of interacting or does it "wrong." I also get anxious when I go somewhere and I'm not sure of the correct mode of interaction. Coffee shops that are more low-key (read: pre-Starbucks invasion) can be kind of cryptic. I asked for a refill and you got it and someone was busy at the cash register, or you brought me my order and I haven't paid, or... I don't know, do I go up and pay now? Do I pay before I leave?

Getting IA at my German homework, which is to write (in German) abt whether I have a ~healthy lifestyle~.
As the one fat person in the class, I feel kinda got at. (Probably doesn't help that on the day it was set I'd been to my GP's surgery for a blood test and the nurse wouldn't jab me until she'd weighed me and asked 6000 questions about my diet plans. Hi just take my blood and tell me I'm a fattey on the way out, it'll save us both time, right?)
Guess I need to convince myself that the teacher is only marking my German and has somehow become a robot devoid of any capability to think "well it doesn't look like it" if I claim not to sit motionless all week constantly shovelling doughnuts into my face

xpost I definitely don't like ordering conventions that are not at least somewhat intuitive. If you have to ask someone how to do it then your system, such as it is, might be kind of uppity.
our local market is this way. You have to write out your sandwich order at one table, then walk all the way around the deli counter and down the other side to drop it off. And don't you DARE try to order a sandwich by taking a number, or they will get mad at you. And don't drop off your sandwich order anywhere else, or they will get mad at you. It's kinda stupid, honestly.
