I was incommunicado for most of a day, did you notice? I bet not, with all this kerfluffle about journals being deleted. Anyway, Eor was setting me up with a new computer - well, a hand-me-down, but much faster than the one I was using. Now I have to set up my own LiveJournal client again, and stuff. (I have used Semagic.) And probably update something, because YouTube videos won't work. (Java, maybe? It was asking me to do that, and then I chickened out partway through and am not sure how to start again since the icon has gone away. No, I know /me is not a moron, I'll figure it out if I really want to watch the Jeeves-party animal video.) My Explorer looks all old school and I'm feeling both relieved and off-kilter; I was starting to get used to the new version, despite all my grousing.

Meanwhile, in work news - I went back to the checkpoint for the first time in two and a half weeks, and wanted to kill someone within about a half hour. This woman lit into me about how I was just getting off on a power trip taking away her liquids and we should tell her about things like this, beforehand. TSA should call her at home, apparently, since all the stuff all over the news since last August, the information on our website, the continual announcements over the intercom, the signs all around the airport AND the person asking her as they were loading her things into the x-ray were all not sufficient. Thankfully that person who loaded her things was a particular Supervisor who is wonderful about dealing with rude people, so I went back to this Supervisor and pushed half a BIN of liquids I'd collected from the woman's baggage into her hands and said, "I can't deal, I'm sorry."

Hm, sorry about no cut, there. I can't recall at the moment how the html for that goes - I really need to go get a new client.

A Jehova's Witness just called to invite us to a Bible drama. I told her we don't do religion. After I hung up I realized that could have been taken rather snarkily, but that wasn't how I meant it - I meant to emphasize that it's not just her religion I would turn down, it's anyone. I'm completely impartially disinterested. I hope my tone of voice properly conveyed my intent.
