vacation started at 5pm yesterday. whee!

nevermind that i had to send 2 emails this morning because i forgot to in the rush to get everything done before i disappeared for a week.

i wonder if i can set up an "out of office" auto-reply on owa.

in the meantime, people are here, food is being planned, and things are generally going not at all relaxed, but hey. it's still vacation. i do think, in general, we allow our vocations to encroach too much on our personal space. "so, what do you do?" is always a question i've hated being asked, mostly because i've never had a job i liked, and i hated being identified with it. but then, i don't like being identified with much concrete. i prefer to not have to be nailed down that way. i'm never really understood why what one does to support oneself ought to carry so much weight on one's identity, especially in our post-industrial-revolution existence, where we only spend 1/3 of our waking hours doing that and 2/3 doing other things. usually more interesting things, unless you get really lucky.

i don't know.

i will get more coffee.

true story.

"i just don't get it."

"get what?"

"myspace."

"well, duh! you don't have any friends!"

"oh, right."

it doesn't work.

i have a macbook. i have a mini-DVI to DVI adapter. he has a DVI to VGA adaptor. the projector has a VGA port.

the made-by-apple mini-DVI to DVI and made-by-apple DVI to VGA adaptors are incompatible.

come on, people. where's all this i hear about the ease of the user experience?
