I hurt everywhere this morning. I almost stayed home from work, but my attendance has been patchy lately and anyway I had shit to get done. That being said, I feel like one giant bruise. OH ALSO someone elbowed me in the face on the escalator. Win.

Still, I am in reasonably good spirits. I found out today is NOT sushi day, alas, but I found out last night so I ordered sushi for dinner. Sushi and Torchwood -- pretty awesome evening. Plus I had a lot of fun at the Torchwood chat, though I know it was terrifyingly busy. Sorry for those of you who were overwhelmed -- I wish there were a way to run that better. Probably will not do one tonight, but if I do I'll link to it again.

On that subject, please remember that even if you have seen an episode several days ago, other people may not have. Do try not to put spoilers in comments to posts that aren't episode reviews/meta or don't already have spoiler warnings. I'm not picking on any one person; I've had to screen three or four comments, all from different people. And I'm sure nobody's doing it with malice aforethought, we're all just Very Excited.

At least work is fairly mellow this week, so I can sit and be bruised in peace. :D

Sam: Look, it's very simple. You have a security card and a security dot. The card gets you in the front door of the building, the dot gets you into our office suite. The building controls the card, we control the dot.
Coworker Fail: I don't get it.
Sam: Well, okay, you don't really have to. All you have to do is tell the computer that these dots are now free for use, because the people who had the dots don't work here anymore.
Coworker Fail: But the computer says the dots belong to those people.
Sam: Which is why you need to tell the computer they don't anymore.
Coworker Fail: I better ask BossBoss about this.

AND THEN

Sam: Those cards should have been deactivated already, really. Some of them just fell through the cracks when Coworker J and I were overhauling the system.
Coworker Fail: Oh! Well then I won't deactivate them until I talk to BossBoss. I'll just put them in a drawer!
Sam: No, it's okay --
Coworker Fail: And label them "Cracker Cards".
Sam: *brief pause* Uhhhh. Can you not call them that? Just call them "misfiled cards".
Coworker Fail: But I know where they're filed.
Sam: Look, just....don't call them Cracker Cards, okay?
Coworker Fail: Okay! I'll call them Crack Cards.

I decided to pick my battles, and let him call them Crack Cards. Which may in retrospect be even less professional than Cracker Cards, but I did not have the strength to argue any more about keycards. I have to save it for important things, like preventing him from "helpfully" picking up packages people have set out for delivery and redistributing them to their respective senders.

Sam's Three Things About Torchwood. All you really need to know is: THE LULZ.

( Day Three )

3a. I couldn't come up with anything nonspoilery to put outside the cut for 3a, so I'd just like to inform you all that the Katamari Damacy app for iPhone has an icon for your best-of record. It's a stopwatch and a measuring tape. HAND TO GOD.

No masschat tonight -- well, you're welcome to use the chatroom, it should still be functional, but I have to do dishes and stop ignoring the rest of my life for the whole evening while I bask in how great this is.
