  - I am supposed to be getting a new insulin pump - but the one catch is that my doctor needs to sign the approval form for a new one. - kelly Jan 29, 06:19 1
    - Pain in the ass, but very much worth it. Isn't Will worried you might get there, become homesick and stay? It's a risk :) -- nm - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 29, 06:22
US Postal Service might stop delivering mail on Tuesdays to save money. That would suck! -- nm - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 29, 06:09 9
- This should be a boon to online bill pay. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 29, 06:21 1
  - Eh. The geriatrics who still pay bills by mail will continue to do so. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 29, 06:22
- before they do that, can they send me the package that they lost? - znufrii Jan 29, 06:19
- Why Tuesdays? Why not stop mail on Saturday? -- nm - Inigo Jan 29, 06:17 2
  - I'm surprised also. I presumed 5-day delivery meant cutting Saturday -- nm - ty97 Jan 29, 06:19
  - They said that Tuesday is the lightest mail day of the week. -- nm - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 29, 06:17

  - My exact first thought as well. Netflix -- nm - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 29, 06:15 1
    - Same here. -- nm - kelly Jan 29, 06:20

  - Isn't it like 110 degrees in Melbourne these days? (hearing these reports out of the Australian Open coverage.) -- nm - Diva Jan 29, 06:17 2
    - yeah, they've had to close the roof the last few days because of the heat. it was 115F here on monday, but it's cooled down since. - mafic Jan 29, 06:19 1

      - Syracuse has had *120 inches* of snow so far this year -- nm - decline Jan 29, 06:09 1
        
        I'm not overly shocked by that number, but only because it's snow belt country. - ty97 Jan 29, 06:25
      - We got another 4 inches, and then it poured rain all evening (straight up rain), with nowhere to drain because of the snow. - TFox Jan 29, 06:04
      - Sucks. we changed over early, so the snow was pretty much already gone, just a few small patches of ice on the sidewalks. -- nm - znufrii Jan 29, 06:04
      - Strap on the skates!! We just mainly got snow. -- nm - Shaun Jan 29, 06:03

- No no no no no. -- nm - TFox Jan 29, 05:59
- Do not say anything at all. -- nm - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 29, 05:53
- Don't tell them anything. We all hope you get the other job, but if something happens and you don't, you screwed yourself in your current spot. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 29, 05:50
- Not at all. Do not say a word. If you end up having to leave, they'll be able to fill the position no problem. -- nm - Diva Jan 29, 05:46 7
  - When she told me she wanted to move me to this other position, I told her, - kelly Jan 29, 05:52 4
    - I'd leave it at that. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 29, 05:53 3
      - Strongbad is right. -- nm - Diva Jan 29, 05:59 2
        
        Woo!! -- nm - Strongbad Jan 29, 06:05
        
        OK, thanks guys. -- nm - kelly Jan 29, 05:59
  - Or, if they think you're too valuable to let go, they'll put you on permanent. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 29, 05:51 1
    - Stupid hiring freezes. :) - kelly Jan 29, 05:57
- I would not say anything. -- nm - decline Jan 29, 05:45
- absolutely do not tell her -- nm - Epiphany Jan 29, 05:31
- You're still temp, right? No obligation to tell them at all. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 29, 05:24
- don't tell her. you might be discriminated against if you do, and you have no fallback position yet. -- nm - the year of the ox loves mandy lane Jan 29, 05:22
- I'd say nothing. better job is a better job, and I'd never begrudge anyone leaving for it, almost regardless of the situation. -- nm - mafic Jan 29, 05:22 1
  - Yes, don't tell them any earlier than you need to. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 29, 05:22

  - (spoils) - kelly Jan 29, 06:10 1
    - ok, that's sort of funny. -- nm - Diva Jan 29, 06:18
- IF they didn't use Iron Man in the marketing, Favreau shoulda been hunted down. - Will Hunting Jan 29, 05:20
- Silly kelly. That's not Ozzy, it's Black Sabbath! -- nm - cow orker Jan 29, 05:14 1
  - (with all the reality shows she is hooked on, I figured there was a bigger chance she'd know who Ozzy was, as opposed to BS.) -- nm - kelly Jan 29, 05:14
- Wow. That's... wow. -- nm - Jelly Jan 29, 05:13
- it ran over the credits! (I think) -- nm - mafic Jan 29, 05:13 2
  - The song did, but I don't think that particular part was there. -- nm - Jelly Jan 29, 05:13
  - I remember it at the end. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 29, 05:13
CS: Fox takes over Narnia film series -- (link) - nubby Jan 29, 04:59 10
- [deleted]
- Narnia 2's tanking at the box office is one of the most confusing things I can remember in recent years. - Will Hunting Jan 29, 05:05 2
  - I'm not that surprised. The Wardrobe book has always been more popular than the other books. -- nm - Ender Jan 29, 06:45
  - I blame the marketing. They hyped up the new guy while de-emphasizing the cast from the first film. -- nm - nubby Jan 29, 05:12
- Awesome. Dawn Treader was always my favorite, I was hoping they'd get a chance to make it. -- nm - the darcy Jan 29, 05:05 5
  - Ditto. - nubby Jan 29, 05:11 1
    - Oh yes, he will do nicely. -- nm - the darcy Jan 29, 05:14
  - I always thought it'd be the hardest one to make a movie out of. -- nm - mafic Jan 29, 05:10 2
    - I'm torn on whether it would be that one or The Last Battle, if only because the actors grow up so darn quickly. - the darcy Jan 29, 05:13 1
      - If they were smart, they'd (spoiler) - nubby Jan 29, 05:14
Episode 1 of Being Human was excellent (and it's a BBC America co-production so you'll get it eventually). - LMS Jan 29, 04:46
What I learned today: Former NBA player Bill Laimbeer appeared as a Sleestak in several episodes of Land of the Lost. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 29, 04:43 2
- I have heard him talk about this in interviews. It's great to hear him discuss it. -- nm - Redmond has a particular set of skills Jan 29, 05:55
- he's my new hero. -- nm - mafic Jan 29, 04:54

  - *leaves work, gets in the car, drives to nubby's employer, beats him with a tire iron before returning to work* - Will Hunting Jan 29, 04:21 10
    - bah, you're never gonna keep nubby down. -- nm - mafic Jan 29, 04:41
    - O Danyy boy, Danny boy, Danny boy. -- nm - ty97 Jan 29, 04:32 2
      - Not an earworm, just the most hated song possible. - Will Hunting Jan 29, 04:37 1
        
        I still like the song. - ty97 Jan 29, 04:48
    - You forgot to play a round of golf! -- nm - nubby Jan 29, 04:23 5
      - *replaces tire iron with 7-iron* Now, I'm unable to! - Will Hunting Jan 29, 04:24 4
        
        Ah, I want to apologize. Can I buy you a drink? - nubby Jan 29, 04:47 2
        
        L3 -- nm - Strongbad Jan 29, 05:08
        
        *laughing* -- nm - kelly Jan 29, 05:08
        
        effin' nubby. -- nm - kelly Jan 29, 04:28
- so it's kind of like having a smartphone, only much much bigger and way less useful. - mafic Jan 29, 03:35
Uh oh. Nearly 2,000 warned of beryllium danger. But we're safe, right? Right? -- (link) - CovingtonCat Jan 29, 03:02 6
- I'm not sure I want to encounter Bery in his "fine, particulate form." I'm a little afraid of what that might look like. -- nm - mafic Jan 29, 03:31 5
  - I imagine a top hat and can. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 29, 04:24 4
    - That's Bery's fine articulate form. - Will Hunting Jan 29, 04:40 3
      - cane. dammit. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 29, 04:44 1
        
        I thought you figured Bery worked at Citi. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 29, 04:53
      - aerosol. -- nm - mafic Jan 29, 04:42
2 more days! -- nm - Stacy Jan 29, 01:22
