Somehow in all the excitement, it did not occur to me that playing Christmas music till someone mentioned it meant I'd have to listen to Christmas music till someone mentioned it. I have juuuuuuuuuuuuuuust reached the point where I kind of want to shoot myself in the face.

The joke's on me, etc.

For your information, the last straw was a Big Band cover of "Santa Baby" by somebody who sounded like but probably wasn't Melissa Manchester.

For reasons I can't pretend to understand, I have decided to play Christmas music at work all day every day till someone asks me about it.

How long do you think that will take? It's loud enough to be heard clearly if you're near my desk, but not so loud as to drown out the phone if I need to use it. Also, these are pop covers of traditional Christmas songs, and so, not as immediately identifiable as your straight up, Burl Ives, Time-Life Collection.

I call ten (10) business days, today included.


ETA:

almostnever says it'll be November 3rd.

I said November 11th, but let's call it the 12th, since November 11th is a stat holiday.

sean_kennedy said it'd be 4:30 today, but he was completely, tragically wrong. Let's all observe a moment of silence for Sean. Well, silence and Christmas music. Your answer was away in a manger this time, little buddy. Far, far away.

Does anyone out there have experience with a toilet that leaks from the handle?

Is this something I can fix by myself on the cheap, or do I have to get my landlord in?

So, that laser printer, right.

Ask it to print one single page and it prints like a hundred, each with a single line of garbage along the top.

My drivers appear to be up to date, and like I say, it was working fine at work.

What can I dooooooooooo?

And Pan's delicate, fuzzy buns also.



Suck it, haters!
