  1. Disappointed by a mondegreen again. I think the Eurhythmics' Missionary Man should have a "serious smile". about 24 hours ago from Echofon
  2. Trivia: In 6th grade, I made a board game based on "The Fellowship of the Ring" for an English-class project. 6:58 PM Nov 13th from Echofon
  3. Somewhere in the multiverse, I finished college the first time and became a software author in the Pacific Northwest. Wonder how he's doing. 6:18 PM Nov 13th from Echofon
  4. Dear game industry: if you are spending more than $1, it is a macrotransaction, not a microtransaction. Love, Chris. 4:04 PM Nov 13th from Echofon
  5. @divinebubbles, actually, the tactic the department wants us to use is "just submit every Friday and hope for the best". 8:37 AM Nov 13th from Echofon in reply to divinebubbles
  6. @PixelExecution -- 6 days before the pay date in order to accept the sheet for payment. (Pay dates are bimonthly.) 8:37 AM Nov 13th from Echofon in reply to PixelExecution
  7. @PixelExecution, I have to submit by Friday 9 AM. Department processes the next Monday and sends to Payroll. Payroll has to receive -- 8:36 AM Nov 13th from Echofon in reply to PixelExecution
  8. So apparently I need to submit timesheets by 9 AM on the Friday before the Monday before 6 days before the pay date. I need a drink. 7:47 AM Nov 13th from Echofon
  9. Starting to look like Hopkins did, indeed, screw me out of a paycheck. I thought we were past this. Not what I needed today. 1:36 AM Nov 13th from Echofon
  10. Dear Hopkins: Please do not screw me WRT paycheck this week. I really don't need that. Love, Chris. 8:35 PM Nov 12th from Echofon
  11. Seen on a church sign: "What are your prioites?" #1: a spellchecker. (No, there were no spaces for fallen/missing letters.) 5:04 AM Nov 12th from TwitterBerry
  12. Also: the mere presence of a linking verb does not the passive voice make. "You should be doing your homework" is not passive. 5:15 PM Nov 11th from Echofon
  13. I think from now on I'll refer to "The Elements of Style" as "that tiny book of malevolent canon". http://bit.ly/2VaRGz 5:13 PM Nov 11th from Echofon
  14. Just got a Doors reference in Wailing Caverns by seeing Holly's coworker's T-shirt. Yes, you may sigh at my cultural literacy failure. 1:58 PM Nov 11th from TwitterBerry
  15. Found a copy of Don Marquis's "archy and mehitabel" at the Old Book Shop. $2 and it was mine. <3 "expression is the need of my soul" 1:56 PM Nov 11th from TwitterBerry
  16. @Albyll, only if I didn't prepare properly. ;) It'd be easy to go to a bank and say "I need $100 in pre-1975 bills for a history project." 6:28 AM Nov 11th from Echofon in reply to Albyll
  17. Largely offline again today. Text or email if you want to get in touch. Have a glorrrrrrrrrrious day! (http://bit.ly/39JGR5) 6:22 AM Nov 11th from Echofon
  18. In fairness, that's roughly following inflation. But I still want a time machine. ;) 6:20 AM Nov 11th from Echofon
  19. My copy of "Rendezvous with Rama" cost $1.75 new. A brand new paperback copy today costs $7.99. Same book. Sigh. 6:17 AM Nov 11th from Echofon
  20. Good morning, Twitter, and good day. I'm going to try to spend the rest of the day offline. Email goes to my phone if you need me. 5:47 AM Nov 10th from TweetDeck
