Awesome.

I was just told to put on a jacket cause the top I'm wearing shows too much skin.

Granted, it's a little low and it's a tank top...but I've been wearing this thing in this office for three years now, and no one has ever said anything about it. (There have been others wearing far more revealing things than this.)

The thing that baffles me though is that the person who told me this says that she's been meaning to talk to me for several days...Now I'm thinking about the stuff that I've worn the rest of the week, and it's been nothing that's shown anything. Unless she has a problem with bare arms (Which are not against the company dress code) I'm baffled.

Seriously, the company dress code says no pajamas, no offensive/suggestive language, no bare feet. That's it.

But whatever. I'm stuck wearing a polyester jacket all day.

One Thing About Working With Other Tech Support People....

*grumble*

Okay, if you want me to do something, don't tell me how to do it unless I ask.

Seriously, I know how to find my email account settings in Outlook Express.

Anson.

I was talking to some assorted people last night, when I dropped and IM to saratoga80, said he wasn't doing very well. Asked if I had been reading the LJ's of brothers in the northeast at all. I had..but hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary. I went back and glanced over my friends list...at the time, there was still nothing that I saw.

Rich sent me a link to a new story on the web. I scanned it, realized it was an incident at RPI. Saw a name...Anson Tripp. The last name wasn't ringing a bell, but I definitely knew of an Anson at RPI. (For anyone not familiar, it's a very common thing in APO to only know people by their first name, or a nickname. It's not at all unheard of to be good friends with someone and have no clue what their name is.) Asked Rich if it was the same...it was.

I was aquiainted with Anson. Knew him mostly through the old #aposoc irc channel, and had met a number of times from going to sectional conferences. He seemed like one of those people that I would be good friends with if I lived in closer proximity. Somewhere in my collection of photos, I have a picture of him standing on a desk during an EZ brotherhood meeting.

Being out of the APO loop for 4 or 5 years now, I hadn't seen or talked to him in at least that long, probably longer. I am so sorry to have heard last night of his passing.

My thoughts and prayers with Anson, his family and friends.

Hurry up and wait. My favorite part of the day.

I other news, the guy that snores while he's awake sits two desks over. Thank gawds that our schedules will never overlap once training is over.

Karl Kerenyi's Apollo: The Wind, The Spirit & The God

If I can't have it in hard copy, at least I can have it in PDF.

Aw hell. It's sideways.

Edit: Adobe Reader rotates pages...I didn't know that...

Ferarri

Up til recently, my cat ran all over the house. She responded when I called her. She talked to me when I meowed at her. Whined too. She wanted attention constantly. She wasn't afraid of anyone or anything.

Now, she's terrified of everyone. Hides all the time. I can never find her. She won't follow me upstairs. I have to pick her up and take her and she digs her claws into me. If I put her down on the stairs, she turns and runs back down to the first floor. She's scared of everything. If she goes into my room, she finds the one or two places where I have a hard time getting to her and holes up there. If she's in the room when I'm in bed, she stays away from me until I turn off the lights to go to sleep. I don't know what the hell to do. In the last week or two she barely even sits up on top of the computer. This in maybe a month's time. Because every other cat in the house goes after her. I feel like I'm abusing my cat because I won't let her live in my room, the only room in the house that none of the other cats go because my door is always shut.

What the hell am I supposed to do?

Oh, and my neighbors are cranking their stereo. Great.

edit: I might be wrong. I'm starting to think that it's actually just one of Dominic's cats' At least that's the case this morning. Juno won't leave her alone. She's very actively going after Ferarri, looking for her on the third floor a little while ago, now in the second floor bathroom where Ferarri is currently hiding- and Juno just gave Ferarri a cut on the nose a little while ago. It's pretty minor, but it was bleeding. *sigh*
