I'm watching the Zoo on Netflix... I'm never looking at animals quite the same way again after this.

[JT-2]

Oh, that stinks! Sorry you had to deal with that. *BIG HUGS* My dad got hit with the same scam recently; it got squashed right away as he already had his credit frozen and a fraud alert set up because someone had tried to steal his identity several years ago, but...yeah. Not fun.

I think an SGA mini marathon and some pink fruity drinks with the little umbrellas would be a great idea!

*hugs back*

Oooh, I have a pink fruity drink in the fridge. I'll be doing that tonight!

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Lazy Sunday!

It's 2:13am -- monday morning... back to work later today... by which I mean, I roll out of bed, turn on my laptop, remember my password, log on, and then set my away message "My coffeemachine is downstairs..." in order to get dressed and get breakfast. At least I signed in on time.

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Canon Monday!

Gotta love it!

A monday with lots of inspiration for at least a dozen more chapters for the Office Saga... though the best line heard today was during an unexpected meeting this afternoon.

One of the colleagues was explaining how to create a PDF file and she mentions the shortcut CTRL+P. Another one notes she should write it down to remember that shortcut. Then the oldest of the bunch (turned 60 last year) tells her she'll need 2 hands to press CTRL+P. The rest of us frown confused cause there's a ctrl button not too far from the P-key. We mention that fact and he goes "Oh look, a keyboard has 2 ctrl keys..."

Revelation of the day for him, the rest of us down with laughter.

Oh my goodness, that's really funny. Reminds me of when I was trying to teach my 61 year old sister how to use a laptop. I used up a week's worth of patience.

OMFG! I can't wait to see how you get THAT moment into the Office Saga!

Just need to find a character not all that good with puters, I guess... I'm sure there is one in the city.

[Zandras.ashes]

JT2- I just saw your post. I can’t believe that happened with the unemployment scam. I hope you got your credit frozen in time. People suck.

I was always surprised no other Athosians ever integrated into the SGA fold. That would have been fun to watch as we missed the IT learning curve with Teyla. At least, that I remember. She just demonstrated she’d picked it up at some point. I remember thinking it was cool though that they did make it so seamless as we’ve seen how off the rails the men writers/producers could be with the women characters.

[Falcon Horus]

Maybe Teyla's IT learning curve could be the character I need... like a "Remember that time you found out there are 2 ctrl keys on your keyboard and you only need one hand to press Ctrl+P" ...or she would take it literal and press Ctrl + P...

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Screw the Angst Wednesday!

Yeah, that did always seem kind of odd. Like really, none of the other Athosians wanted in? I suppose the whole thing with Bates being a suspicious a-hole and the Athosians' move to the mainland kinda squelched that, but it really was too ridiculously convenient.

I like it!

Hi, I'm not dead. Anyway this reminds me of back in the day when I volunteered for a group that did recordings for the blind. While I was there, they switched from analog to digital. It fell to me to teach the others, mostly much older than I, to use the mouse and the recording device. They limited access to most of them but still some managed to screw everything up to the point that I had to call in the techies. Lord have mercy, never again.

And in a bit of twin news, Thing 2 tripped over his own feet on the playground, broke a tooth right up the middle and had to have it pulled. Thing 1 said it was not fair that Thing 2 got to go to the dentist and he didn't, so Mom made an appt for him this week. Boy will he be sorry. Now Thing 2 will have a missing front tooth for years. Dad told Mom that if it bothers her, he will photoshop in a tooth on their Christmas photos. Heh.

Hi, Not Dead! *hugs you*

OMG, this is why I will never ever volunteer for teaching tech stuff. I have ZERO patience for it. I think my problem is, when I learn tech stuff for myself, I work somewhat on instinct, so it's hard for me to impart that to others.

*falls out of chair laughing* Ohhhh, just when I thought the twins couldn't top themselves, they did it! Go Team Twin!

Hi!!!! Nice to see you around!

Poor Thing 2! And that's so funny about Thing 1. Yeah, he'll learn his lesson. Hahahaha!!
