Tropical Storm Bret popped up off the coast of Mexico overnight to bring heavy rains to the southern part of the area. Already on the way inland, it should be pretty short lived. That’s two storms already this month, and still 5 months left in the season to go. At this rate it’s shaping up to be quite the season.
Just another count
“Morgue” must not be PC anymore
I was walking down the hall past the Morgue, and noticed they have a new sign. I guess the Morgue people (or most likely some overly-PC administrator somewhere) have decided ‘Morgue’ is too crass, grisly or scary sounding so now they’re calling it ‘Decedent Affairs’, which I guess is a more PC way of putting things.
My first thought on seeing the sign was “They spelled decadent wrong”, but then I wondered what “Decadent Affairs” would be. Probably not entirely appropriate for a hospital. It probably would have been more interesting and a lot more fun though.
Blogiversary #2!
So apparently I’ve had this blog going for 2 years and 677 entries (not including this one) as of today. I have to admit I’m a little bit surprised I’m still doing this, yet it doesn’t really feel like it’s been two years. Who’d have thought I’d have this much to say!
With all the new stuff going on (the house, new equipment at work, new research), I think this third year of blogging might be more interesting (at least for me anyway).
Stay tuned and see where the ride goes!
The day is just crawling by
Need a new battery for my watch. I have 5 time keeping devices on my desk: my watch, 2 computers, PDA and binary clock. But it’s the watch I always check most often. Go figure. So I start feeling munchy, go grab some left over lunch out of the fridge and head off to the microwave to heat it up. Glance at my watch and it tells me that it’s only 9:20. I think to myself “Man, this day is just dragging. Hungry already and it’s not even 9:30”. So I go back to my desk, put lunch back in the fridge and do some more work.
Then a few minutes later I notice the time on the binary clock and PDA, which tell me it’s actually 11:30! Well, heck, no wonder I’m so hungry. It really is lunch time!
So off to go heat up some lunch (again), and then figure out how to replace the battery in this watch.
