the everyday adventures of sabrina

• @shadow Pgh must be different…I was the only one I saw all day, unless you count the newbie students in coat, scarf, & hat in 65° temps. in reply to shadow #
• @cloudlover Dude, I cannot even imaging having room for 60lbs of wool, plus space & materials to dye like you! My hero :-D in reply to cloudlover #
• @shadow Well, it’s the day before Halloween – I’d be the only one there wearing a wacky get-up! Not quite the center of attn I want to be. in reply to shadow #
• Cleaned desk off. Life is good. #
• @sanityknit At least everyone I know who’s had it already says it’s basically just ordinary flu. So that’s a comfort. Excuse to drink tea! in reply to sanityknit #
• @sanityknit Yeah. Well, no help for it now. Just have to find some way to make up the lost time. Oh, and enjoy my 2 wks off work. =) in reply to sanityknit #
• I can’t even believe I freaking took time off work to take that stupid class and it fills up the day before I register. #
• So you know that Dec class I was all adither about taking and finally decided to? Full. Wait list? Full. FML. #
• Just made my Brainiversary hotel reservations for January!!! Excited! #
• weeeeeeeeeeeekeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnd! and Happy Birfday @hubbit! #
• @hubbit @ElyssaD ITYM #tweet was a #twick :-) in reply to hubbit #
• So what happens if I post #trick? #
• Oh, and — I think I won the lunchtime poker game today! I got so much shit one time I won a hand by bluffing. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! #
• @mizmoose I used to be a spy, until… in reply to mizmoose #
• What I like about listening to numbers stations recordings is that I will never, ever know if this meant anything at all to anyone. #
• The drawback to dressing up for H’ween on Friday means that if you go out after work without changing 1st, you look like a complete dork. #
• I need a new .sig: “The number & nagginess of questions you send me rather than Googling directly (& negatively) affects my response rate.” #
• @jime60647 Ohhh, I *hate* those! So much more intrusive and irritating. in reply to jime60647 #
• Software upgrades, network changes, DST ending. What a fantastic weekend for my first on-call with the new group. *twitch* #
• @cloudlover So, how much wool is in your house at any given point? :-) in reply to cloudlover #
• @Ipstenu @hubbit I only hope that English churros aren’t like Chicago fish ‘n chips: disappointing. in reply to Ipstenu #
• Fantastic news. Moving to the UK won’t mean giving up churros! http://is.gd/4IhgG #
• @Ipstenu Sure, it’s a legit technique for sorting, originated about 10 yrs ago. Loads of web forms reject it as illegal, wrongfully. in reply to Ipstenu #
• So far, I appear to be the only person who mustered any Halloween spirit for workplace dress today. Obvy, should have brought leis for all. #

• @hubbit And knitting! in reply to hubbit #
• @hubbit *whispers* Am not going anywhere. Staying at home, but taking an intersession class — just not going to work. Kinda relaxing! in reply to hubbit #
• Yay! Vacation time is a go! I looooove you, vacation! #
• I am pleased to note that the past little while of swearing off sugar has resulted in approximately 7.6% less niqui. #
• @Southpaw Well, I’m with you on the first two. Sadly, can’t get too enthused about WS. Rather renew my #whitesox tix & think abt nxt yr :) in reply to Southpaw #
• @Ipstenu @smokes70 That is “Jeep” for “Pleeeease buy our ginormousmobile before oil hits $100/barrel again & it loses value, pleeeease!” in reply to Ipstenu #
• Mmmm nom nom. Miso soup and chirachi box from Tokyo Lunchbox = lunch yummers. Way better than regrettable eggroll any day. #
• The problem with saying things like “Maybe tomorrow I’ll get fish and chips!” is that I have yet to discover good f-n-c around here. #
• I don’t understand why Entourage asks “are you sure?” when I delete stuff from my junkmail folder, but not for *actual* email. #
• I am at a loss to explain why I want eggrolls for lunch despite the fact that I know eating at China 65 always ends in regret. #
• @hubbit Jeez! Hope they find the guy. :( in reply to hubbit #
• And the final decision was 2 bags of Smarties (personal fave), plus one big bag of chocolate bars. Hope this is enough for trick-or-treaters #
• Nearly waited too long to buy candy for H’ween; when I went ystdy, CVS was already replacing displays with Xmas stuff, argh. #
• @beth825 Cute! in reply to beth825 #
• Great. Having zombie nightmares, and I’m not even really on the stupid bandwagon. :( #
• @Ipstenu Civic? Used should be inexpensive, reliable, and hold value relatively OK. in reply to Ipstenu #

• @sanityknit Dude, those must’ve been killer earplugs — or powerful sleepiness! in reply to sanityknit #
• Row 155 on Lilalaunetuch done! Only like 80 more to go! #
• @lorenzodeleon C’mon. We’ll get Mike to do the falsetto bits. You know you want to! in reply to lorenzodeleon #
• @mizmoose Am going to go aspartame-free, see if headache goes away, then free for a week, then drink some, & see what happens. Erk. in reply to mizmoose #
• After blissfully having no headaches for a week, am now having a drink w/aspartame and suddenly have mild headache, & a sinking suspicion. #
• Hmm. Good points, all of you. I shall foist any leftover candy off on willing recipients: Tech support. #
• Like, I don’t want to be the person that gives out one SweeTarts packet per kid, but 6 chocolate bars seems excessive. #
• Practical yet nerdy question: How do you scale Halloween candy purchases? If I expect 50 kids, how much candy should I be buying, here? #
• @cloudlover If somebody asks you if you are a god, you say…YES! in reply to cloudlover #
• Hey, @thebkwyrm, am thinking I met you, from LJ/ZConland from a few years back :) #
• @Ipstenu Dude, it was there. For like five minutes, but THERE. For reals. in reply to Ipstenu #
• Oh my God, is that *BLUE SKY* I see out the window?!?!?! #
• Should I sign up for Dec accellerated intersession class? Maybe I’ll flip a coin. #

• Man. After class tonight, I am completely whipped. Sleep, I love you so! #
• In other news, reading about interrupts and TCP overhead, strangely, not making me want to snooze. Weird. #
• I wish I could go to LISA this year, program looks great. $employer won’t send me to conferences though. Alas. #
• @Ipstenu It goes away — I had my sore arm the day of and a little the next, but it does get better. Plus, it beats the flu. in reply to Ipstenu #
• Valuable sysadmin soft skill: Tactfully explaining that just because someone wishes you had backed up their data does not make it so. #
• @chowbok I was going to guess Aerosmith, but looks like they had a fight in the 80s. in reply to chowbok #
• Bad about today: Would a little sunshine frigging kill you, Mother Nature? Really. #
• Good about today: Found my missing usb key (& keychain!), cleverly hidden at work. #
• Most awesome wedding ever: http://bit.ly/1qX2In #
• So I got a coveted Google Wave invite. It’s very … wavey. #
• Also, got my lace alphabet pattern! Schoolhouse Press’ one, not the Piecework Mag one, tho resubbed req for that at library ystdy. #
• Got my copy of Susanna Lewis’ Knitting Lace book yesterday. Awesome book! Looking forward to having free time again. #
• Ha. Got mail from VW on a voluntary recall on the part that failed and kept me in Columbus an extra day last month! Timing is everything. #

• Hey @lorenzodeleon, we’re doing this http://is.gd/4DfYb at work tomorrow, right? #
• Ack. I’m on call this week, first time with the new group. Uh… have you tried rebooting? #
• @explorechicago A friend is looking for Imperial pint glasses for beer at home. Any thoughts as to where he could buy them? in reply to explorechicago #
• Coworker going to hospital. Deeply worried by all this. #
• Also, am so bored by baseball postseason and ready for Fox to air new eps again. #whitesox in 2010, but for now… can has Fringe back? #
• Ok, am now tired of hobbling around like my personal trainer is issuing beatings, not reps. Can has less pain now, pls? #
• @beth825 Nice :) in reply to beth825 #
• @beth825 Gonna knit the fingerless gloves? :) in reply to beth825 #
• @Ipstenu It was 5G, actually. I want it baaaack. :( Not just because of the data on it, tho losing that stings too. (Privacy, not primacy) in reply to Ipstenu #
• I admit I’m almost more bothered by losing the snazzy keychain than the $20 usb key. But it’s the principle of the thing. #
• Grump. Think I lost my school USB key – keep all my stuff on it to shuttle between home & school. Plus has snazzy Sapphire & Steel keychain. #
