    I am knife who is being used as a screwdriver.

    Losing my edge in the process. And let's not even think of what might
    happen if I slip in the grip of my user.

    Let's make that more active.

    I am a knife who is allowing itself to be used as a screwdriver.

    I am a knife who prefers the predictable workaday world of the
    screwdriver rather than the scary unpredictable world of the knife.
    When and where will I find use as a knife next? Better to be on the
    assemblyline, screwing in screws all day.

    I am a knife who would prefer to be a spoon.

2331ICQ w/Skye_ds & sineater a bit

 

    Jun. 30, 2004

     

     

    evile: happy humpday!
    SkyeDS: indeed
    evile: I'm sleepy today.

    evile: Stepford Wives was dumb, but kinda fun & cute.
    SkyeDS: looks like it would be
    evile: I adore Christopher Walken. He is so sexy. And Glenn Close
    looked like she was having a blast.
    SkyeDS: have you seen the music video he made?
    SkyeDS: I like him too
    evile: nope. I have no access to music videos
    SkyeDS: he made one for this song by Fat Boy Slim
    evile: That's why I love him, he'll do anything.
    SkyeDS: he's a cook too
    evile: & he and his wife have been together since before he was
    successful and are very much CF
    evile: Matthew Broderick, otoh, scares theliving hell out of me..he
    still looks like ferris bueller.
    SkyeDS: lot of cute kids didn't grow up to be cute adults
    evile: *nods*
    SkyeDS: sineater has the video on dvd, you'd like it
    evile: Now I'm curious to read the original book & see the 1970s
    Stepford Wives.
    SkyeDS: have read the original book
    SkyeDS: it's like 8th grade reading level but the premise is
    interesting
    evile: *nods*
    evile: One major problem I always have with voting liberal is the
    fact that they won't kill people who need killin'. I cant believe
    this crap!
    http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/207719p-179057c.html
    SkyeDS: I vote libertarian often as not but I'm not going to do t hat
    in wartime
    evile: *nods*
    evile: I can't decide if it's sicker to abuse the kids that came from
    your own body to death, or to adopt them and abuse them to death. I
    mean, WTF...
    evile: If you don't like kids & figure all you'd do is beat 'em, do
    like me and don't HAVE them.
    SkyeDS: apparently neither can California, where the penalty for
    abusing other people's kids is stiffer than keeping it in the family
    evile: do adoptees count as 'other peoples kids' though? or are they
    yours once you fill out the paperwork and take them home & lock them
    in the basement to live in their own filth?
    SkyeDS: legally an adopted child is yours
    SkyeDS: as if you gave birth
    evile: so the law would go easy on you for adopting a kid and then
    beating it to death.
    SkyeDS: it shouldn't :(
    evile: Nope.
    evile: and anyone who abuses children isn't fixable, from everything
    I've ever read.
    evile: But it makes somebody more money to keep them in prison than
    to just kill them and put them out of our misery.
    SkyeDS: sineater is done w/ his interview, said he thinks it went well
    <fingers tightly crossed>
    evile: awesome :)
    evile: When does he think he'll something back from them?
    SkyeDS: didn't say yet
    SkyeDS: he's on his way back here
    evile: oh, cool.
    evile: Y'all coming to polydinner tonight?
    SkyeDS: probably not
    SkyeDS: Arthur will have been by himself all day and sineater will be in
    a hurry to get home
    evile: aha. OK.
    SkyeDS: horses will have to be fed too
    evile: *nods*
    SkyeDS: alrighty, sineater is taking over my brain
    evile: OK.
    sineater: how yoos?
    evile: workin. owie from krav maga Monday, still.
    evile: How's with you?
    sineater:: ah
    sineater: ok i think
    sineater:: interview seemed to go well
    sineater:: so, could be
    evile: where at?
    sineater: inovant, a visa subsidiary
    evile: aha. cool.
    sineater: doing support/troubleshooting for verified by visa
    evile: *nods*
    evile: One of our 2 friends at Dell 'permanent' is looking again.
    Seems he got wind of a little move to Singapore.
    sineater:: oh fuck, who?
    sineater:: is looking i mean
    evile: I don't know if you've met him --the male half of "J&K"
    sineater:: ...? eh?
    sineater:: short haired sales guy at poly?
    evile: Nope. That's Jeff. I think he's already left Dell.
    sineater:: ah. smart :)
    sineater:: well it was a "j"
    evile: He was temp.
    sineater:: pfeh. everyone is a temp at d e double hockeyticks
    sineater:: here. let me show you how squeeze the fish. "sqoooork"
    evile: pretty much. Out of everyone I know, I have 2 friends who are
    permanent out there. One is Max, who will never leave because hes ADA
    protected.
    sineater:: ah. lucky
    sineater:: you know mike, too
    evile: Your friend Mike? I've met him. Last I heard of him he'd been
    laid off shortly after you were. Haven't heard anything since, or
    talked to him..
    sineater:: oh, that's been a while hasn't it... he went back in 02 as
    temp and got permed in 9 months
    sineater:: he got married, last sept
    evile: poor guy.
    sineater:: shrug... she is a really nice grl and they fit pretty well
    together
    sineater:: oh, you mean poor guy working for d___... oh ayuh, i getcha
    sineater:: :P
    evile: so I guess he dumped the skank he was with when I met him.
    Just from the way he talked about her I was thinking "lordy, what a
    trainwreck!"
    sineater:: if that's who i think it was, yes, quite. he met this girl
    after he was laid off
    evile: (I'm getting better==I didn't say it out loud )
    sineater:: snarfle
    evile: I'm getting nervous--I'm on speaking terms with everyone I
    know and there's no major drama anywhere. Looking skyward for
    anvils...
    sineater:: no, this girl is much better. she reminds me a lot of Sister H
    evile: sounds nice.
    sineater:: heh. !!!lookout!!!
    sineater:: wile. e coyote syndrome
    evile: no s*it, right...things are not supposed to be this quiet,
    calm, and normal.
    sineater:: it must be a plot.
    evile: Of course, we haven't gotten a call from Brother A, or a call from
    jail or morgue ABOUT Brother A, either...*worry*
    sineater:: ummmmmmm
    sineater:: sigh
    evile: I'm assuming The Rubber Pig would be on the phone to everyone if he'd
    come back to her.
    sineater:: yeah, probably to get some other relative to babysit her kids
    again
    sineater:: what a bitch.
    evile: heh. I am assuming she never returned my call because she
    realized i was not available for goods or services of any kind.
    sineater:: could very well be. :(((((
    sineater: grr. rahrrr. snarf!
    evile: heh. we're all better off without her.
    sineater:: d'accord
    evile: I'm just sad you never got to meet her face to face. We could
    have had much better snark that way.
    sineater:: going to call the recruiter now. love yas; l8trz d00d
    evile: *hugs*
    SkyeDS: <bk
    evile: wb :)
    SkyeDS: I still think he's off hiding somewhere nursing hurts/wounds,
    and sineater says he is very sensitive to I told you so type recrimination
    SkyeDS: as I would think we all are...
    evile: well, sure, but I wish he'd maybe just call the machine during
    the day and say "I'm in San Antonio, doing ___, I 'm safe"--heaven
    knows I"m not at home more often than I AM at home.
    evile: He's got a key to my house. My fear is that I'll just come
    home one day and he'll be on the couch with his stuff.
    SkyeDS: that would stink very much bad in here occifer
    evile: yeah. Not like I would kick him out...but in that case it will
    be very good to have mean ol' Sweetie around to lay down the law.
    SkyeDS: they are handy in those circumstances, as pockets on shirts
    and noses on faces
    evile: Yup. I'm very good about talking boundaries, less good at
    enforcing.
    SkyeDS: <guilty as charged on that count myself
    evile: Oh well. awareness of faults is good because it gives a chance
    to work on them.
    evile: I can't wait to go grocery shopping tomorrow :)
    evile: I want to make another batch of pesto.
    SkyeDS: love good pesto
    evile: I have an interesting recipe that I've made with success twice
    now. I want to now try a more traditional one, and then a sundried
    one.
    SkyeDS: <need a big enough mortar & pestle to make it the right way
    evile: food processor, baby. I got one at Target for $20
    SkyeDS: would like to try it at least once the old way, just for the
    experience
    evile: *nod* But mortar & pestle is small, expensive, and not as
    versatile as a little food processor.
    SkyeDS: true
    SkyeDS: but I'm supposed to have a decent sized m&p anyway, for other
    reasons than cooking
    evile: personally I would not mix magic tools with kitchen tools, any
    more than I'd use the coffe grinder for pesto-making or my soapmaking
    dishes for stew. too many toxic ingredients/possible residues.
    SkyeDS: that's true
    SkyeDS: would have to make pesto in it just once, before I ever did
    anything else with it
    evile: there ya go.
    SkyeDS: sineater sez:
    SkyeDS: been spendin most our lives livin in an amish paradise
    SkyeDS: churned butter once or twice, livin in an amish paradise
    evile: *grins*
    evile: My aunt Cora in OK had us make butter once. It's a great way
    to keep kids out of trouble.
    SkyeDS: oh gawd, forgot all about that. i have a rammstein qoute as
    my sig on my old account
    evile: heh.
    SkyeDS: Herrgott, er weiss ich will kein Engel sein! :)
    evile: *shrug* Not one of my languages.
    SkyeDS: phhh. that's what babelfish is for :)
    evile: babelfish is...odd sometimes.
    SkyeDS: like bruce sterling, i put great stock in machine translation
    SkyeDS: oh true... mechanical translation is in its infancy yet
    evile: "Please to use toothbrush in head"
    SkyeDS: or for a real hoot try translating a japanese page... ook
    evile: wow.
    SkyeDS: if you don't already know what your're reading about you have
    no idea what you're reading about
    evile: Luckily you got a bit of Japanese in college, so you don't
    have to rely 100% on the machine.
    SkyeDS: no, only 90% :/
    evile: heh.
    SkyeDS: smell something hot (like wiring or solder) can't find it and
    its driving me nuts
    evile: hm.
    SkyeDS: and netscape has done the magna fuckya, which in 98 means you
    can't kill the thread so you have a msg box until you reboot :(
    evile: ick.

    SkyeDS: bk
    evile: hey
    evile: did you find the burning smell?
    SkyeDS: no
    evile: weird.
    SkyeDS: it comes and goes
    evile: hm.
    evile: could be the fan going out
    SkyeDS: sineater said not cpu box
    SkyeDS: is maybe either master power box or monitor
    evile: yuck
    evile: juicy case at work: person fired for attendence. turns out
    spouse was an RN and person had a giant morphine habit.
    SkyeDS: lot of doctors in trouble right now for prescribing for
    themselves, their spouses and their children
    evile: I'd never heard of morphine for migraines, but hey...
    evile: I can't imagine being a medical professional and allowing
    someone in my family to become addicted & enabling it...that's just
    so BIZARRE.
    SkyeDS: morphine = the first medical treatment for migraines
    SkyeDS: and then codeine
    SkyeDS: and then there was ergostat
    SkyeDS: <remembers all these things
    evile: aha.
    evile: I must have been an OD'd junkie in a past life, because I'm so
    against drugs it's not even funny. Opiates horrify me.
    evile: it's always nice when work is somewhat interesting. Helps the
    time pass so much quicker!
    SkyeDS: HUGS x 2
    evile: y'all drive safe going home & tell sineater BIG GOOD LUCK on that
    job!!
    SkyeDS: be safe
    evile: *hugs* Gotta go drop paper in various orifices now.
