Don’t go to Times Square for NYE. Not once for the experience. Zero times because you read about just how bad of a decision that is. 0.

I don’t know, I tried it and it commented its code. Who does that?

I have multiple folders of the form “desktop crap MM-DD-YY”

Stay Puft Marshmallow Man

It will always be this to me:

And will never not make me smile.

The microphone placement is a little wonky as it is on the left side to the screen (why?).

That’s why my friends have been telling me to throw away my new phone because they can’t hear me‽ I’ve been essentially muting myself with my stupid thumb covering that stupid hole? Thank you so much; I was going to put the sim back in my previous phone.

My surplus labor value at my first job, my second job, a few jobs in between and my current job.

I find np a worse message when taken literally. If I even have to write an email, it’s at least a little problem. yw allows for a problem you solved for somebody without suggesting that it doesn’t come at the expense of other priorities.

You’re welcome to ask things like that of me. This is within the realm of stuff I will gladly do for you.

It’s a square root of negative one. A sneaky way to get two answers with one question.

The number of times I walked out of the shower without using soap plus i times the number of times I soaped at least twice to avoid that scenario.

Surprise, Arizona

Not really.

If I had a nickel for every time my boss fired somebody so humiliatingly that they forgot to take their jackets with them on the way out the door, I’d have two nickels.

I didn’t observe this myself – she e-mailed everyone she didn’t fire asking if any of us wanted a jacket and went on to describe the ones her victims were wearing just last week.

Oh wow, I got an Eve V years ago because it could do that and thought it was a budget Surface, so I always figured the Surface could do that, too. Now Eve’s out of the game and I’m looking to replace mine. Does anyone do that anymore?

Does the keyboard work while detached? When I travel, I like to plug the laptop into the TV and control it from across the room with a wireless keyboard and mouse. It would be nice not to have to pack a separate keyboard.
