Work
Well...
It looks like my schedule is officially getting the snippy by 6.5 hours. I am to be off on Sundays.
This Saturday at work I pretty much did nothing. I mean, I did all the stuff with the phones and all that, but I sat there and looked up what happened when you held down Alt while pressing numbers, and basically went out into a computer trance for a couple hours while messing with numbers, writing them down, and discovering that the symbols did repeat at 256.
today (Sunday) I worked, wrote, spaced out.... and, near the end of my shift, about an hour to half an hour before the end of the shift, I started smelling that distinctive scent of scorching electronics. I sniff-tested my entire booth and could not find where it was coming from. I then, slightly shaking, summoned a supervisor, who sniffed around, smelled that same smell, but could not find where it was coming from.
I soon had a little football huddle of supervisors over in my corner, all sniffing pieces of computer equipment and cable.
They never did find the offending piece of scorched electronics while I was there, but the smell did die down, so I stopped worrying so much. I got on a survey about five minutes before I was to leave, so I stayed about fifteen to twenty minutes over my scheduled leaving time. I was to be home to watch Nephew so Sis could go to work....
...this is why from now on I will have Sundays off.

no subject
if it is installed then it will show you every character in all the fonts and the keys involved.
Work Sucks
Any questions?
Besides, that doesn't give me the information right to hand when I want to be able to type a two-character sequence very swiftly when I have one hand on the 10-key and the other hand somewhere on the other side of the keyboard, and said two characters are on opposite sides of the main keyboard, and I need to be able to get to 10-key very quickly. I tend to type alt+47, alt+81 a lot, which is local code for "quit interview." Also alt+159, alt+129 a lot... though alt+159 shows up as a little square box rather than its natural state...
Don't you even make faces at me, Llama! :-P
