New favorite expression of incompetence, courtesy This American Life: "He couldn't sell life insurance to the Kennedys."

Brilliant!

I always liked the opposite of that:

"He could sell flight insurance to Clark Kent"

Wow. As of right now, the only thing my system can reach on the network is LoT. That includes other systems within our lab network. :D :D :D

Something must be wrong with our DNS or gateway server, but since I was just on the LoT, the route is cached on my local machine, so it can still get here. But nowhere else. Aw shucks.

Sid made it through surgery and is spending another night at the vet. He's doped up on pain meds, which is good 'cause he probably hurts like hell.

Yay! (The making it through, not the hurting like hell.)

Poor little man... He's in our thoughts. Are the others missing him?

Poor kitty. Yay drugs!

If you put him in the bathroom like you did Scoundrel he'll have lots of company on NYE.

Sid will be our cage dancer for not one, but TWO parties before he gets released. I guess he won't be stealing bacon this year.
