    I was watching what I assume was the same show when my SO came home from work one day. She thought it was satire. Having worked in both public and currently private education here in Mexico for 20 years she said even in the private Catholic schools they wouldn't teach such crap.

    It is very stupid and does nothing but build contention. I quit paying attention to it almost immediately.

    I'm miffed I was late to the pus discussion. I love squeezing and poking things.

    It's Friday.. feels weird to have the air show this weekend and no plans buzzing downtown today practicing. On the other hand.. I keep thinking about those for whom the buzz is no laughing matter.

    EDIT - I spoke too soon.

    Whenever I watch a movie or tv show and see a big, bad tough guy light up a smoke covetously, I always think, "Pfft. Dude prolly doesn't have any cardio...."

    Looks like I'm getting closer to being "LordEden: Assistant PI".

    People need to cheat more often, that shit is a GOLDMINE.

    So get this. My Nexus 7 wouldn't connect to my wifi all morning. So finally I called Google customer service and not only did they get it working for me again, they also told me that if we weren't able to figure it out they would 'just send me a new one.' I was very satisfied with that exchange. The rep was topnotch, too.

    Isn't that something when good customer service is such a novelty that you feel like sitting down to type it all out so that you can share your excitement with everyone.

    The part in all of that that's really blowing my mind is that you got Google on the phone.

    I've had to deal with them in a professional capacity on several occasions and they're notoriously hard to get any kind of a response from. Admittedly, customer support is a different thing altogether -- you may very well have been talking to an ASUS rep who was just pretending to be Google.

    That's a possibility, yes. She said she was in Utah.

    With the amount "Get Lucky" has been beaten to death, this is pretty nice to see:

    GeneticShift Show me your everything is okay face.

    Can we, as a society, decide we're done with "Blurred Lines"? I'm so sick of it.

  14. Friday, you're definitely a strange one. Strange day, indeed.

    People should be careful to accuse others of when there is an email trail. Of course, the customer is never wrong. But that doesn't mean they are always right.
     
  15. I'm researching Neisseria gonorrhoeae at work. I don't think they monitor what we surf whilest on the internets, but if they do...someone is going to think I'm dirty.

    I still haven't listened to it. I'm pretty okay with that.

    Last day with the robotics kids today. I may be able to go to a few of their evening practices, though, so that's pretty awesome.

    ...that part of my job where I'm paid—more than three times minimum wage!—to read poetry.

    No.... Good poetry.

    No cardio is right. There was this guy in my hometown, a builder, that smoked about three packs day. My dad said he "looked like he probably had muscles in his shit."
    But he couldn't walk up a flight of stairs without getting winded.
