All the showers were built in to caves, but had tiles and dividers. After having been bitten by what I think were supposed to be bedbugs but were flying and looked much more like small mosquitos, I was shoved into one of these showers by a creepy James Cromwell-esque doctor. I was pregnant and the doctor had planted the bugs to bite me to affect the kid, or extract the kid, or...something. He took a tweezer to one of the bites, which looked like a standard mosquito bite welt, and pulled -- and a long black thread was removed. Then he tried to hold me under the shower, maybe to drown me?, until someone I was with pulled his head back and slit his throat. Weirdly, at that point, a bunch of other people showed up and there was discussion about the weird brain fluid pooling on the tile floor.

The only thing I remember from last night's batch was driving on some highway in Missouri, only to find out that the St. Louis Arch was part of the highway system. Once the grade increased sharply, I realized what it meant and slammed on the brakes to start backing up. Ain't no way I'm driving on that.

I'd take mundane over being dreaming I was being tortured by someone who was pressing very hard into my abs, and then waking up with stomach cramps.

I actively avoided watching Firefly until late 2007. Does that count?
Yes. Aim to misbehave.

I'm practicing necromancy.
I'm wearing my first pair of skinny jeans today and wondering why the hell I waited so long to try/buy some. This is a thing I do regularly: give in and try something I'd been actively avoiding, only to have it be something I like using/doing. Anyone else fall into similar practices?

I'm not familiar with card readers and how they export data, but you may need to write a translation layer between the card reader and the database.
You will need programming and database skills. No question.

A slightly more serious response:
What's the philosophical difference between scanning an ID vs. scanning the rewards card? (Keep in mind: I know the answer; I want you to tell me.)
You will need a database & a secure API to said database (you'll be storing personally identifiable information and potentially credit card information, I imagine), perhaps data validation. Much of the rest is front-end functionality.

I've joined the cult of Apple: iPhone 5s (my third iPhone), MacBook Pro (bought by work), iPad 2 (won at SXSW a few years ago) and iMac (bought this past winter to replace my Fuck-You-Windows 7 desktop). Before that, I was using some flavor of Linux Mint on my workstation at my previous job: the bonus of which is that I was entirely inaccessible to the IT guy's managed access, and I could install whatever I wanted.
I'm about to get some kind of Android tablet delivered to me for a project I'll be managing while the primary PM is on vacation. I don't expect to enjoy this.
We drive a Prius, which we paid off in two years. Call me a hippie, but I can do a round trip to Chicago (~270mi) in half a tank of gas AND still pass fuckers.
I have too much geeky software to enumerate. I did just install Chrome Canary (unstable), which is very lovely. Otherwise, I live in Sublime Text 2/3 and bash (CLI git or GTFO).

Whatever, Monday. This was taken during the course of trying to replicate my profile pic, the source of which has been lost.

My dreams the last few nights have been ridiculous and make no sense. Last night's was some kind of bachelorette party-turned-corporate all-hands meeting, at which I proved wrong someone I shouldn't have in such a public forum. (Responsive web design is my forte, dude, don't fuck with me.) We were sitting in long rows of benches, and there was a vampire trying to bite me, but I knew he was approaching and covered my neck with my hair and hoodie and shoved him off into another row. Then all the women in the group banded together and did some kumbaya sort of thing in protest of the vampire.

Inspired by a meme making the rounds on various social media whatwhozits, I'm starting our own thread. Every day you remember to read this forum, let alone be motivated to post something (you lazy selfish bastards), list the 3 things for which you are at least somewhat OR not at all grateful. Might as well throw in the fun of guessing which way you lean. (Ahem, slightly to the right. I've *seen* the pics.)
1. Temperate weather.
2. Automatic-drip coffee machines.
3. A questionable conscience.
