Excerpt from a conversation in my office a minute ago:

Co-worker whose name shall remain anonymous (CWWNSRA): "Help! I can't do research properly because the program buttons in my browser window have become strange and unreadable!"
[livejournal.com profile] allaire (to herself): Why me? I have my own work to do and don't have time for this shit.
CWWNSRA: "Heeeeelp! Can't work! Error! Does not compute!"
[livejournal.com profile] allaire: "Argh. Whatever. Let me see."
Browser window: "It's not my fault. See? I'm cute, harmless and innocent. It's not my fault the user's stupid."
[livejournal.com profile] allaire: "How about you maximize the window?"
CWWNSRA: maximizes window
Browser window: "Voilà."
[livejournal.com profile] allaire: headdesk

Waaah. Weekend, I need you!!!

Never mind, the weekend is almost almost here - just be strong and don't strangle the co-worker. *g*

She left shortly before the urge became overwhelming. But only just. *g*

Wow. This is makes me glad that most of the time, I'm alone in my office with my one co-worker who's working in development, so she knows computers.

The student working for me... not so much *g*

Well, I share mine with two part-time assistants, one of which is a good and reliable worker, whereas the other... tends to leave her brain somewhere else (perhaps in a jar?), because she certainly doesn't take it to the office with her, grrr.

Co-workers who know computers are rare and precious gems. Seriously. *g*

Wanna exchange your student with my colleague? Should be fun. :-)))

You're hereby stalked down and cordially invited to join [livejournal.com profile] totalrecall2070. ;)

Or hi, saw you and lydiabell's exchange in smallfandomfest and thought I'd tell you to come join in person. You and ten_chan, whom I think I sent an invite to at some stage, anyway, since she had the show listed in her interests. :) Ich spreche nur ein bischen Deutsch, as just added in the community guidelines, so couldn't formulate a personal request for her to join in German at the time. Now I'm just using the excuse that I'm doing this from the library and gotta run in 20 minutes, but wanted to get you to join the gang if possible. There is some f-locked material that might interest you if you don't have the show other than in German, and if nothing else, try out the English language clips on YouTube that I linked to.

*drags you into the fandom kicking and screaming* Or, erm, I promise to give it a try with that Farve/Hume thing? I had evil plot bunny pop up in mind last night in relation to it, something with a twist and fitting the world of then quite nicely, but for that I'd need to write and it's not what I usually do. Art's more me, and no promises, anyway. Just temptation your way.

As to other signs of depravity that may or may not lure you to join, I come fully certified from Harry Potter fandoms (as well as watching Oz...), so you can trust me when I call a plot bunny with a twist evil. *polishes halo* No, I'm not a raving loonie in any direction, but I do hang around [livejournal.com profile] lumos_sorting (Slytherin for the win) as well and am not averse to you showing up there either. It's joining communities time of the year, right?

Seriously though, it would be nice to see you show up in [livejournal.com profile] totalrecall2070, even if we are very tiny and new for now. The more the merrier. Especially with more fellow European (Allaire? French? German like ten_chan?) fans.

Argh. Forgot to wish you a better weekend and less stupid people (http://userpic.livejournal.com/67443200/1176568) around.
