Yeah I saw that one over at somewhere and still haven't stopped laughing.

Oh I know, me neither. That's why it really needed to be posted over here.

Not as creepy as him asking me to be in a three way with him and his wife.

Hmmm, seems like somebody wants some attention.

I saw a sign on an Middle School today. I think the kids messed with it.

Speaking of misspelled words... we got an email yesterday about casual Fridays at work, reminding people that, while we are allowed to dress down, the dress code is still to be 'business casual'.

One of the reminders was, "Employees may wear clean teeshirts or polo shirts on Fridays. However, remember that you cannot wear a shit [sic] with pictures or logos on them, nor of any patterns containing guns, scantily clad men or women, cannabis leaves or alcoholic beverages. Any employee found wearing a shirt deemed objectionable will be sent home without pay to change his attire".

I have to wonder how often the employees of the company have done this, in order for the "dress code regulations" to be re-posted. I also wonder if someone came to work in a "Thugs and Hoes" teeshirt or something.

When I was in school one of our radiation labs had some test sources made of Cesium embedded in glass at the end of a 8 or 9 inch long metal rod. These were low intensity radiation sources used for calibrating radiacs.

We had a sign up in that lab that actually said "NO EATING OR DRINKING", followed by "PROTECTIVE GEAR MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES" right above "DO NOT LICK THE CESIUM STICKS".

Because yes, somebody had once.

In my biology class (like 5 or so years ago) there was a guy who took a pair of tweezers and stuck them into the electrical outlet. The teacher never said anything if she noticed. Considering it was supposed to be the "best" public school, that's kind of sad.

Also, some people would steal from the lab for parts to make a bong, and of course plenty of people stole personal property.

There was that one time when a kid did a line of cocaine a few seats away from me, in the middle of class. (The teacher had walked out and left another student in charge...)

There are more incidents, and suffice it to say I did NOT enjoy my BLS experience...

I was cleaning out some old boxes and I found, not only my old plaques from HS Gymnastics (Most Dedicated - 1989, Model of Excellence - 1990, and Team Leader: Captain - 1991), but I also found my old field hockey uniform shirt from 7th grade (1987!!!). It fits me! Ahahaha. I'm going to wear it. Hope it doesn't disintigrate while I'm out.

Ahahahaha. I also found a story that I wrote with my sister when we were kids. You can tell it was written in the 80's cause I actually wrote the sentence, "Dude, what'dya do, dye your hair? It looks fresh!".

You know, this sounds pretty familiar. In my biology class about 5 years back some kid stuck a paper clip into an electrical socket and shorted out the entire wing.

In that same class, but on a different day, someone broken a water pipe at the end of the class and flooded the next classroom over.

Ah, memories.

No, thank goodness. He works in a different building on campus. I am a bit nervous about using the gym here after work now, since he seems to frequent it, so I think I'll be going to Bally's for the next couple of days.

It's 9:27am for me here and I've just reached my optimal heart rate. Of course, it's because I just convinced myself I accidently deleted the wrong users network acount\exhange account. Thank goodness I didn't, but I got my user names all mixed up and freaked out for a good five minutes until I realized I did everything correct in the first place. Nothing like self imposed stress.

Being a domain admin is scary stuff sometimes. For the first time in about eight years I want to go outside and smoke.
