Admin Update: I closed the FFAFer account but if you are a member you can still post. Whatever you wish too, suggested topics be damned. :)

Damn, going back to 800 by 600 on a teeny (12 in) little monitor sucks ass.  sucks ass a lot.  I really, really, really REALLY hope hubby can get our regular monitor fixed soon. This sucks.

If your blog mated with another blog, what would the baby’s name be?

Hrm...well, let’s think about it. How about I take some random friend’s blog names and see what we’d come up with shall we?

Given Eyes to See + Incogblogo = Given Incog to Blogo

Given Eyes to See + Snarkland = Given Snark to Land

Given Eyes to See + Chosen Words = Chosen Words to See

Given Eyes to See + The Color Purple = Eyes to Given Purple

Hrm. These aren’t terribly interesting are they? I guess I need more friends with more wonky blog titles.  :)

-So Sayeth MissM of Given Eyes to See

Well I will make it easy, if I could do today over I would have not signed up for an 14 hour work day tommorrow.

Have a great holiday weekend.

I guess if my blog mated with other blogs that I read, the kids would end up being named something like:

Asymptomatic + Waymorefunner = Asymptofunner
Waymorefunner + ColdForged = Waymoreforged
Waymorefunner + DizzyG.net = WaymoreG.net
Gorilla Mask + Waymorefunner = GorillaMoreFunner
Waymorefunner + Comics Curmudgeon = Waymorecurmudgeon
Waymorefunner + Republica = Waymorepublica
and of course: incogblogo + waymorefunner = incogmorefunner

Happy FFAF!

If I could do today over again… I would.  Why?

Yesterday I was informed by my boss that he would not be into work today.  I would be alone in the office except for our network guy - heretofore known as “Bob” - and would probably have to answer any calls that came in, dispatching them to the appropriate people.

Knowing that I would be mostly alone, I left open the door to my office so as to get some much needed airflow.  Bob usually inhabits the dungeon of our building, or is out riding the mower over the acres of grass around our building when the demand on his network services is low.  This is virtually all the time.

However, Bob has this odd habit of keeping the virus scanner fresh on the systems that nobody in our office uses and are usually off.  This would include the computer at the reception desk outside of my office door.  This reception desk is the explicit reason why I usually keep my office door closed, to minimize the noice of things/people being received and maximize my concentration.

So when Bob sat down for three hours to update that virus scanner, I had the displeasure of being stare at by our network admin for the duration. 

Moreover, I had to “use the facilities” during half that time, and while I’m obviously not shy about revealing this information, I don’t see any reason why I should be forced to give it up unwillingly by having to pass by Bob at the reception desk which is not his.

Nor could I find a way to close my door without overtly stating, “Bob, I don’t want you to watch me work.” Thankfully you can’t see my screen from outside, otherwise none of my FFAF posts would have been written today.

And so what would I have changed about how I proceeded today? — I would have kept my door closed, like usual, and saved myself unneccessary angst before my three-day weekend.

I hope you enjoy your FFAF more than I have mine, and in spite of Bob, I have enjoyed my FFAF immensely thus far.

Screw the suggested topics!!!

What is with the word “Musings”? How many blogs are there out there that have “Musings” in the title?

People! Have you heard of a thesaurus??? No more blogs with “Musings” in the title!!! Here’s a list of alternative words:

Thoughts
Considerations
Deliberations
Ponderances
Reflections
Convictions
Conjectures

And the list goes on! No more unimaginative blog titles please.
</rant>

On a lighter note, did you hear that I stopped a phisher is his tracks today?

I’m sorry but every time I type FFAF i want to type FFAG.  I don’t know why.  Oh well.  I swear I haven’t watched American History X in like forever.  “put your teeth on the curb!” eeek.  Anyways, back to the suggested topic. “If your blog mated with another blog, what would the baby’s name be?” I don’t read a lot of blogs so I’ll just make a list of my blog roll:
implobbable redux
paraplobbing
advanced implobbable age
implobbed hair boy
implobbable now
ChrisPlob
Sticks of Plob

I’m on a poetry tangent today (see my site for details):

a world famous painting describing me?
hmm, well, uh, quick google search for painting
ooh a mona lisa, wait no, a van gogh maybe?
hear a single ear self portrait thing.

do what all again… or who…
O.K. i might… as long as you don’t tell
found out about that, how did you?
please please speak not of that spell.

the conception of blogs is very neat
in the wild, Schleifstein.net comes upon a fleshbot…
well that’s a blog off its feet!
they better use protection to avoid a future Whetbot.

eww now some filler
not sure if this poem was killer…

thanks for the free-for-all,

Tell us what world-famous painting best describes your present situation, and why.

i know that mostly it’s cliche, but i’d have to say lately it’s Rodin’s The Thinker, lately my mind has been racing with one hundred and fifty bajillion things and i’m trying to figure them out but like that statue i’m just stuck...thinking.
