friendly folderol for friday fun

Spring is being very naughty this year. What with the snow, and the cold, and the yuck and the ick, I've told spring to go to its room and think about what it's done.

The problem is, I think Spring has an xbox in there or something, because it doesn't seem to be making any moves towards coming out...

I learned a new IT term the other day: PEBKAC. It's used to define the majority of the errors that come into the helpdesk at work. It's a very technical term -- an acronym, as you may have guessed. It stands for Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair.

On my way home, I have to change trains from the express to the local three stops away from my house. When I got on the local last night, everything was fine and dandy until just before the first stop, when the conductor came over the loudspeaker to accuse me of our first stop.

"UNION!" he shouted, angry at all of us for existing.

It was so startling I actually dropped my book.

I got a new moisturizer recently that claims to be a "Natural Beauty Perfector" which blends "modern micro diffusers [i.e. glittery bits] with an herbal formula dating from the Ming Dynasty." Frightened by what I might actually be rubbing into my skin, I checked out the ingredients and found "Salvia Miltiorrhiza Root Extract" (which, after doing some research, I realized is Chinese Sage Root Extract).

I was just glad to discover it wasn't Saliva Extract, as it was when I first read it.

(Can you imagine having that job? Chief Drooler? And the opening's a really small target to aim for.)

Fernando has been talking a lot lately about Coconut Yoo Hoo. Personally, just the idea makes me want to ralph.

In the fridge at work, I recently discovered a La Yogurt that was past its prime. And we all know that yogurt is one of those things that can last frighteningly longer than it should. But the fact that this particular cup had expired in NOVEMBER OF 2008 forced me to call it "La Yuckgurt." (And then dare Fernando to open it.)
