And there’s competition for this one.</p>felicityhttp://faerye.net/post/picayune-triumphs-and-tragedies#comment-1247Re: Fritzy Gadgets2004-05-28T08:27:19+00:002004-05-28T08:27:19+00:00<p>We are approaching the transit of Venus. The last time that happened, electricity was largely a novelty, so maybe that’s it.</p>Mithrandirhttp://faerye.net/post/picayune-triumphs-and-tragedies#comment-1246Fritzy Gadgets2004-05-27T18:12:36+00:002004-05-27T18:12:36+00:00I must ask the star charts if Mercury is in retrograde, or what ever it is that my aunt claims causes electrical appliances to go on the fritz.

Today in lab we blew a grand-total of four fuses, two on rockers and two on the outlets. Fortunately I was not personally involved in any of this, but am feeling the rocker/shaker shortage.

Does IT not have a loaner for you to use?</p></p>grizeldahttp://faerye.net/post/picayune-triumphs-and-tragedies#comment-1245Re: addenda2004-05-27T17:46:49+00:002004-05-27T17:46:49+00:00<p>Hmm. To tell the truth, I don’t really know how to change it. I’ll look into it.<br />
<br />
And you didn’t tell me it was the name of a band, just that he said it—which wasn’t very enlightening!</p>felicityhttp://faerye.net/post/picayune-triumphs-and-tragedies#comment-1244Re: addenda2004-05-27T17:28:28+00:002004-05-27T17:28:28+00:00<p>I made a mistake and left the word “in” in the first sentence of my comment. Please delete it forthwith. I cannot abide unintentional linguistic imperfections in myself. Come to think, change that non-intentional to an unintentional!</p>sister sledgehttp://faerye.net/post/picayune-triumphs-and-tragedies#comment-1243addenda2004-05-27T17:27:19+00:002004-05-27T17:27:19+00:00<p>1. Glad the dress fits! I don’t like to cause others stress even in through peripheral non-intentional paths. <br />
2. There is no cleverness in my “handle,” it’s the name of a musical group, soul I think. Soul sisters you might call them. Their heyday was in the 70’s I think, but they have a new album out. www.sistersledge.com The Groom likes to say “slow down, sister sledge!” when I get a little overstimulated if he, say, suggests going out to eat. I don’t know why. Probably it’s a movie quote and he’s told me the source. And I forgot. And I’ve told you all this before, and you forgot. Let’s all forget it again now. <br />
3. Not teal. I prefer turquoise or aqua. Teal is a word once used to ugly rhyming effect by Bob Costas in reference to That Basketball Team. We do not speak of it. <br />
4. One time the computer belonging to one of the other admins at my old office started smoking (literally: motherboard fry!) It was very exciting and entertaining, too, since she makes squeaky noises in crisis situations.</p>sister sledge
