ROFL! The intervention one was best.

Today I was investigating the business end of Amazon.com for my internship, and I came across their image uploading system, called Electronic Data Interchange...EDI.
I tried hard not to rofl in front of people not in the Mass Effect loop.

I suppose that is how Amazon manages to work at optimal capacity.

I love the song 'Talk Dirty to Me' by Poison, for some reason! It really makes me smile.

One of my customers yesterday was named David Anderson. That kind of put a smile on my face. Of course if he was actually like the David Anderson from Mass Effect he would probably have known that simply turning wifi on is not enough to use it. No home DSL and he wanted to know why his data was all used up.

If he was an relation, he'd have strolled in, conencted and hacked into your system before you took him down.

I do so love when fandom collides with life. Andersen was probably just trying to distract you while somebody else took off in a spaceship behind you.

Would have worked as I was too busy face-palming to see anything. Good thing I just fix internet, phones, ipads and whatever else the client wants me to do and not guard spaceships. No way this bloke was hacking into my system though. You need internet for that. Edit: Thanks Buch for implying that I would be able to take Anderson down. He's pretty badass. Being able to take him down makes me more badass. ;D

Got a new puppy as I made a manure delivery this weekend (the guys there got to do the removal from my truck, which is good because it was frigging cold). I heard whimpering behind me and turned to see a tiny Aussie shepherd/cocker spaniel mix puppy that was clearly distressed. She had been dumped and needed serious medical attention. I picked her up immediately and let the guys there finish getting the manure from the back of my truck while I tended to the dog. After about 5 minutes of her shivering in my arms while sitting in the front seat with the heat cranked, I knew that she was mine. She's been on IVs, is being treated for worms and a nasty skin infection, and is now getting strong enough to handle her first puppy shots (we hope). The vet said that if she had been out there for a few more hours, she likely would have died. I decided that her name is Annie.
I woke up at 4:30 this morning because she was in so much pain that she was howling. I knew that she needed an oatmeal bath to help her skin, but planned on doing it later in the day. She was in the tub by 5 a.m. instead. I didn't realize just how bad it was until I saw blood mingling with the water. Poor girl. She's a lot calmer now and, thanks to modern veterinary science, is enjoying puppy chow and cuddling (which irks the corgi, but he seems to accept her for the most part).
This picture doesn't show her belly (which is a hell of a lot worse than her tail and hindquarters). The fur also makes her look fatter than she really is (she's actually quite ribby). She was too busy eating her food and medicine to look up, so this will have to do for now.
Despite her rough start, the vet says she will probably weigh about 40 pounds full- grown. Judging from the size of her feet (they're huge!), I believe it.
The picture is coming. I apparently need to download new software for the camera. Can I go back to bed yet?

Awwwww with a healthy dose of "what kind of prick dumps a puppy out in the middle of ass creek nowhere in the dead of winter?" Sometimes I just want to run some of these fools through a wood chipper.
But mostly D'awwwwww.

Got a better pic of Fuzzbutt-- I mean, Annie-- after dinner, so rather than make you go "Eww!" at her skin condition, we'll focus on that adorable face instead: Yeah, I think we know why I took her home now. I clearly have "SUCKER" written in invisible ink on my forehead that only critters can see.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! ;D
So, I'm not sure if you've already mentioned this elsewhere, but are you keeping the poor thing indefinitely or just until whatever equivalent to the RSPCA you have over there get something sorted?
