Oh, and a note:

To my wonderful husband of 13 years today: Happy Anniversary. You have brought so much love and joy into my life, and I thank you for being there for me every single day. I love you yesterday, today and forever.

Rant Of The Day!

Why, oh why, do people take a subject and make it a verb? While watching Top Gear last night, one of the hosts said, "They took a car and Jenny Craiged it." Well, yes, that was indeed descriptive: but "Jenny Craiged it?" There are so many other alternatives that they could have used.

It's the same thing with the new Dairy Queen commercials about their cheeseburger: the annoying disembodied mouth sings, "After we bacon it." Okay, cute. I see what you did, there.

Kinkos started with the whole "to office" thing. It's starting to snowball out of control. I can't wait to hear my first instance of this happening in a QA. I'll be laughing back here until the wonderful men with the little white jackets come to take me away, ha ha. Then I suppose I'll be funny farmed.

QA Word of the Day!

(Drumroll)

Que.

(cymbal crash)

This is one that drives me up the wall, and what bothers me the most is that managers and supervisors use it. No, they don't speak Spanish. But I read yesterday, "What que do you have me in?" and the manager - MANAGER - responded, "We have you in this que."

So, just for the record:

Queue: where a line of people wait.
Que: that, than, because, or a million other uses: but not where people wait!
