Patent Office webinar this morning. Rules changes in November. My head is going to explode now.

Job Security

Well, I hope so, but sheesh, this is going to be complicated. I thought they were streamlining the process, they are, for the PTO, not the applicants!

Just be sure to put a plastic bag over your head prior to the main event to minimise the mess. Thank you.

:D

I just found out that there is a Deaf Smith County in Texas. Amusing name.

I also deal with mailings going to older folks (age 65) in the South (particularly Arkansas, South Carolina and East Texas). I see some VERY interesting names. I wish I could post them.

Whoa! Go check out www.msn.com right now

(one of the featured items is this)

Edited cause I stupidly missed the original link, d'oh!

Fabulous! I'd like all of that back, please.

Awesome.
I agree with it all.
Wouldn't it be nice if some bigwig at the park read that and said, "Hmm. Why did we get rid of that? Let's bring it back."
:)

Yeah, I really like what he wrote. We should invite Mr. VanderKnyff to the LoT.

Update on Operation Decaf Decoy

So today I checked in and not only had he spilled coffee on the sign, he left a used coffee stirrer on it. A very nice touch. Interestingly, I guess the guy that maintains the cup and coffee packet supply doesn't care because he hasn't removed the sign.

Current plan of record: He goes home at 4. After he goes home, I will print a new sign and replace the dirty one. I will also print a second one out for CP to get laminated to be put in place Monday assuming he continues to try to do stuff to the unlaminated one to get it removed.
