Breaking people's recognition circuits
Jan. 27th, 2005 11:22 amI'll just copy this straight from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
reynardo's post...
A colleague was chatting with me yesterday about his lack of female companionship. He then looked at me and said "So could I have your sister's phone number?"
"Sister? I don't ... hang on - who are you talking about?"
"You came in one night with your sister and another person."
"You mean two people, both red-headed, one very tall with long red and blue hair and the other about my height, also with long hair?"
"Yeah, then. The one that was your height - she's your sister, isn't she?"
Gentle reader, I then had to explain to the poor guy that a) I have no sister and b) the other person I was with was my very belovedlederhosen, who was on that night wearing his full dinner suit.
My co-worker can't look me in the eye now.
Bwahaha. Once again, without even trying...

Random weird stuff
Jan. 27th, 2005 01:01 pmVery weird PlayStation ad (work-friendliness marginal - no actual nudity, but sexual material)
Clean Your Screen. A very useful service!
The Flash Mind Reader. Cute, and they've done a nice job of obfuscating the underlying gimmick.

Retail Therapy
Jan. 27th, 2005 09:42 pmSo, I was stuck at work until 6:30 pm today, because I was finishing some stuff for our IP lawyer, who seems to mostly contact us around that time. And then Rey picked me up, and we went into town, because it's been a particularly unpleasant week and I needed some retail therapy.
So we got some stuff at Tin Soldier, and dinner, and got in the car and we were just driving home when somebody came through a red light and hit us in the side. (He seems to have been reading a map at the time.) Doesn't look like any serious damage, and I don't think he's going to make difficulties about paying up, but I really could have done without it this week of all weeks.
If it wasn't that I *have* to get the current patent submission done for Monday, and they're quite likely to throw some last-minute stuff at me, I would so be calling in sick tomorrow. Hell, I do still have the flu; it's just that there's been so much other crud this week that I've been ignoring it and hoping it will go away.
