AliceTheOwl Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings Apparently in honor of Valentine's Day, my two gerbils shared a kiss this morning. Well, actually, they were just thirsty, and I'd refilled the water bottle. But that's what it looked like. I found it sweet, even if they ARE both girls. Too bad I couldn't find the damn camera. Ah, the dangers of sharing a home with a squirrel . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings Sometimes complaining to the cops works: Link The area mentioned is 4 blocks from my house. We complain about it reasonably often. I bring my kids home from after-school care through there 3 days a week. We'll see if it makes any difference (though the weather lately will make that difficult to assess). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edsel Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings I have a couple of electroic rat traps, called Rat Zappers. At enough voltage to instantly kill any rat I bet they might be even worse that the normal type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings When I mentioned in class Monday that I could put "compute the torque on an electric dipole due to the electric field of a point charge some distance away" on the exam on Friday I was rewarded with the most intense collective expression of stunned raw terror I have ever seen. Two dozen people utterly speechless. And when I followed it by asking, "You guys did do rotational mechanics last term, didn't you? You know what torque is?" the flash of terror deepened from raw fright to unbridled soul-wrenching dismay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings Had my one-year review today. Overall, my boss is pleased with my performance, and will take into account a lot of the recommendations I made to make my workload easier to handle and people easier to deal with. But he did mention that he noticed I'm on the internet a lot. Guess that means it's time to spend less time on the NGD, at least while at work. Whoops.

Super Squirrel Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings I was just informed I passed the interview for the coach track position. Of the 15 people that applied, only 8 people have made it past the interview process. The next portion is the actual coach assesment. The task: a roleplay session.

SatinKitty Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Re: A Thread for Random Musings Ever start something and then think "Er, maybe that WASN'T such a good idea...." My little "New Attorney General" thread has over 100 posts and 875 hits and I'm terrified to even look at it. I asked people to give me their thoughts, and over 100 have obliged. I appreciate their enthusiasm but I am afraid I may be responsible for starting a lot of unnecessary hassle and hurt feelings. This is the opposite of my purpose on this Board.
