  1. Japanese CEO keeps falling all over me. (Some one I have argued with for 6+ months)

    Smiling, apologizing, thanking me, even bowing.

    It is starting to freak me out. I wonder if he is planning to kill me.

  2. “Seriously, how kosher do you have to be?”

    Not really sure. The teacher emailed us asking to please make him a kosher lunch every day and we basically responded with “we’ll do our best but if we fuck it up just let us know.” My wife seems to think that a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and some pirate’s booty and a juice box is fine. Basically we’re not going to send him to school with pulled pork sandwiches but otherwise we’ll just kind of try to do the right thing.

  3. Re computer repair, not wanting to be cowed by a mere machine, I put a huge amount of effort in trying to fix my own Dell laptop. I installed new Ram, and got a fancy dancy anti-malware program, cleaned out registry errors, defragged it, but I think the Vista operating system was incompatible with a bunch of software on the computer. Certain drivers (LOADED WITH THE COMPUTER!!!) wouldn’t work with Vista and then gradually parts of the Windows started not working and then I couldn’t download updates. SO MANY UPDATES for Vista. Then it said to download a patch that made it possible to download updates. I couldn’t download that. My battery conked out (afterusing it on a badnetwork during a presentation) and then in a
    fit of peak, the laptop Hard drive refused to trudge any further and unceremonously CROAKED. DIED. I had the whole thing backed up, thank God. Now I have a beautiful new laptop, also a Dell, but with Windows 7.
