Stupid brain

[donutsweeper]

Yes, it is very important to spend two hours researching the difference between a geological survey and a geographic survey so I can use the right term when Jack dismisses the data presented to him via the report in a brief sentence. 

And no, I'm not wasting time on the minutia because it puts off figuring out the specifics behind the evil alien, or how Jack is going to solve things and what's going to happen next- that's just a bonus.

Anyone have a brain that is functioning?  Mine appears to be stuck on spin cycle.

smart coworkers you have there.

I mentioned Doctor Who in passing the other day and my coworkers had NO idea what I was talking about *sigh*

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Whoa. That's just sad.

After about 5 minutes of babbling several had remembered the oldschool version, none knew it had come back. Heathens

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Heathens, indeed. I usually avoid talking to people like that...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

That's the tactic I'll be taking I think. Talking to real live people is boring when you have LJ and fanfic to compare it to

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Hee. So true. Although, I discovered the other day that one of the people I work with actually writes fanfic.

which could be awkward if it's bad fanfic, or awesome if it's good fic

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Considering the person, I'm going to assume good, but you never know...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

here's hoping!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Indeed!

Ok...what the hell? I woke up to pouring rain and now the sun is completely out. This is not supposed to happen in Seattle.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

most people would consider sunshine a good thing

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Hey, it's Seattle. People sort of freak out when there's sun. If there's snow or sun, the city shuts down, because people don't know what to do with snow and no one wants to work when it's sunny.

are you sure the town's not filled with vampires or something?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Heaven knows we all look like vampires around here...people will go out and try to tan in 40 degree weather, I swear.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

ooh 40's, so nice and warm

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

People in this town are nuts. Then again, I live here...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

and you fit right in? *tries the innocent look*

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I do. I fit in so well, it's scary.

The innocent look so doesn't fool me, anymore...unless it's accompanied by a plate of donuts. Then I'm just willing to look the other way.

*psst*

*grabs donuts* Carry on.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Donuts, the best bribe in the universe

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Definitely. And, considering I've decided to start drinking real coffee, again, they're even better.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

real coffee is a very good thing

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I hadn't realized just how good 'til I quit drinking it.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

no caffeine would = horrifically grumpy donutsweeper. I couldn't do it
