Things that make me go *snarl*

[serinde]

- NetBSD hangman seems to think that "obelial", "daydawn", and "Bradylexia" are words. The last should be, I admit. But it's not.

- Being out of milk when I want a cup of tea.

- (The real answer.) Being the point person for the hiring-a-new-person process, telling all the candidates that we would let them know by the end of this week, only to find that El Jefe spent Thursday in a painkiller haze or something and "couldn't find the time" anytime betwixt Wed. evening and the end of the day today to make a decision. So I have to write them all and tell them "er, um, when we said end of this week, we meant Monday." Except that I told him I wanted to say "by noon Monday" and he was all "oh, I don't know if I could promise that." WITH A TOTAL OF FOUR EXTRA DAYS YOU #$*!$&%@! grrrrrr. And the Office Mom is out of town this weekend (including all of today), so she can't deliver the almighty Bitch-Slap that's the only thing he pays heed to.

A quick beer with the darling pet, and then home to bond with arkham1010 and mir_nyc's friend Mike, before we go off to face the Fighting Uruk-Hai at paintball tomorrow. Te morituri salutamus.

For what it's worth, hangman usually uses the spelling dictionary (/usr/share/dict/words).

panix2.ttyqe% grep obelial /usr/share/dict/words
obelial
panix2.ttyqe% grep daydawn /usr/share/dict/words
daydawn
panix2.ttyqe% grep bradylexia /usr/share/dict/words
bradylexia

The words don't seem to be on my Linux machine, so it appears to be a BSDism :-)
