I don't need to work this weekend. Really.
Another client, with whom I haven't worked for a while, wanted me to fit in an article about hard drive read heads. Oh, it's so cute, it's from the eighties! Remember? Like, back when a 5 MB hard drive was a big deal, so the tone of the article is all "Microfabrication is nifty!" Whereas nowadays, Microfabrication is an undergraduate level course.
I can meet their deadline without working this weekend as long as there is less of the goofing off while I'm supposed to be working. I will work hard tomorrow for a day off today .
In other not surprising news, Oz is still a fanboy.
"I noticed when I looked at the Netflix queue that all the Buffys have been moved up." Our Netflix queue is huge. I just keep adding stuff at the bottom and Oz rearranges it during the day when he's goofing off at work.
"Oh, well, I didn't move the Buffys up. I rearranged the queue," he says.
"By putting the Buffys at the top? I noticed that Pride and Prejudice hasn't moved up at all. I guess if it were called Pride and Prejudice and Really Big Guns, we'd have seen it by now."
"Or, Pride and Prejudice and Vampires. Or Pride and Prejudice and Cyborgs."
Yeah, I see how that goes.
