Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

What I find most off putting w/ masks is the lack of the ability to use of facial expressions to acknowledge someone w/ a ...pardon me, smile, frown, or f'ng grr. Eye brows moves just don't seem to get "it" across.

Indeed.

Indeed.

You got my point, kudos to ya'.

But I always wear one, over my pointy ears.

I know you get notified on Twitter when somebody replies to your tweet.

Is there notification when somebody quotes your tweet?

Are there any partially transparent masks out there?

Yes, but who wants to screw with that...

Yes, there are.

You can find instructions to make your own here, or if you just want to buy one, there are a tonne of them on Etsy.

Yes, but I think it's a rather recent development.

Taking my temperature before work is reminding me of taking it as a child before school.

Only back then I was rooting it for it to go *higher*.

Nothing like seeing that thermometer stop at exactly 100.6. Just sick enough to stay home from school, not sick enough not to enjoy it.

It's funny when a co-worker accidentally puts a typo in their own name in an email.

I AM that co-worker. I’ve put a 30sec delay on all my outgoings because I always notice typos as I’m hitting send. At the very least it’s saved having to resend emails that get misdirected into nowhere because I’ve transposed some letters.

"Fat fingers" always have a way of getting into the way of the proper context.

Oh wait, I need to edit that.

I have a friend who was notorious for talking trash about another coworker and then inadvertently sending that email to that person. I've seen her run across the room to the coworker she was talking about (who was notoriously revengeful) to get to the email in time to distract the recipient and delete the email. She pulled it off, but it wasn't the last time. Made ME more careful!

That must have been kind of hilarious to watch though! I’d hate to be stuck between the two of them though!

Sounds like sitcom fodder right there.

Should we wear protective goggles whenever we uncork a bottle of Champagne? That cork could easily put someone's eye out, it's just pure luck that it never happened while I was present or to my knowledge to people I know.

I find I'm posting more on the 'ol BBS these days. Unemployment will do that.

Are we to assume that you have bad aim or that you "un-cage" your cork prematurely?

I am not always the one doing the uncorking, in fact, more often than not, I am not. And that's the problem right there, I can't rely on other people's aim or cork control to ensure my safety and the safety of the people I care about. I once saw a waiter land his cork into someone's bisque!! The guy was wearing a nice suit and tie, let's just say that he wasn't happy!!!
