It's not faaaaayyyyyyerrrrrr!

Steve spoke hesitantly to his boss yesterday, to find out if there was a possibility he could take more time at Christmas on account of his mom's trouble. His boss responded, "WTF? You've got 16 days of vacation left, and you'd best use them by the end of the year or you lose them." So guess who's taking most of December off.

16 days is, by the bye, more than I get, total. And I get a week more than the rest of the office, because I traded part of a raise for it. He actually gets 24 days, all told (not counting sick days and holidays, which are both much more than mine, too). Waaah.

On the bright side, since he was home anyways, he made breakfast for me. Loving pooky! (He can't cook much, but he's good at eggs. Better than me, usually.)

And now for something completely stupid

Passed on from zonereyrie...
The County of Los Angeles says the computer industry's use of the terms master/slave is "unacceptable and offensive".

One wonders if this is going to trigger another round of fundies screaming about daemons. We can only hope; that one's always good for a laugh.

No, wait, I lied.

The stupid news problem I thought I solved still isn't. Now the configurations are all correct--it just doesn't work. ARGH KILL ARGH

Pie pie pie pie pie pie pie.
