For my co-workers: It was NOT Ann from accounting that I saw sporting a short, vinyl skirt on MLK Boulevard last night. Furthermore, according to a human resources representative, it is considered rude to ask about that sort of thing so don't do that either.

That's the HR department response.
The dev team's response is: "pic or it didn't happen!"

Reminds me of the photo that circulated around with the caption "Why casual Friday was cancelled" (or something to that effect)

You are not carefully preparing us for the news that it was you? Please tell me you are not.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Did you get into trouble with your employer? Are you going to be looking for new job?

The smell and feel of a shiny new keyboard (in the case, my 4th Logitech Illuminated Keyboard.) I love the light feel of the keys. I have one on my desktop, I often use one with my laptop, there's a third backup that I had to fix the USB connector on, and the cat broke one at 3AM one morning, it decided to shove it off the desk and it must have hit the floor in just the right way. I was sorely tempted to serve the cat the next morning alongside a rasher of bacon!

I have a code[^] keyboard and it is a beast, and no way a cat would be able to move it (1kg with real rubber feets).
A little bit noisier and costly than a cheap keyboard, but works very well.
I'd rather be phishing!

Too many keys. Not enough space around the arrow keys.
At home I use an IBM 101-key keyboard, non-clicky, made in 1997.
At work I use whatever's-around -- at the moment it's a Logitech.

Do you have the Green Cherry switches or the Clear?

The Cherry MX Green model.

Don't be so sure. Cotton tailed yard rats can weigh twice that, and they're popular cat toys.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I have a Wave and I like it a lot but the problem is this is the 3rd one I've had, they only last about 2 years.
New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0 Beta
There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

. . . and it's the lounge.
Well - there's a lot of creepy people who might mistake the red stripes on a tabby for their next pan-fried meal.

If you are what you eat and cats only eat cat food, and what makes up the cat food chain eventually only ate vegetables, then it should be OK for you. Bacon, on the other hand... hmm.

Something I hate I now hate even more.
The idiots that set up these systems try to make them seem so friendly and concerned.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't . . . Let's try again. OK, let's try it another way"
It's an elephanting computer. Just request data and accept input. Don't double the length of each step (if your lucky, only double) to attempt to make it seem human. Hire someone (who does not reside in a call center in Indian) to seem human.
So damn stupid. Annoying. Aggravating. Who wants to be patronized by a machine.
Background: called number posted by website to get my uid, as I wasn't able to log into CVS/CareMark online pharmacy. Phone b1tch-machine offers menu after menu, none remotely relevant. Then, when it finally says it will get a representative it starts into a new loop. Ultimately, pressing '0' about twenty times annoyed the PC enough to put me through to a people: who says their systems are being maintained and they're having some problems (including uid/pwd problems).

On a pay per minute premium line, you need to keep them hanging on as long as possible.

Makes you wonder why the more non-KSS call centers don't use those techniques...
Or do they?
