    Day started off with breakfast almost in bed. but now I'm work, have to write a bunch of policies and attend a bunch of meetings relating to how we need to handle facebook and twitter during hurricanes and shutdowns. Yay for me!

    Thanks guys!

    Outsource the twitter feed to a zoo. I doubt the results will change very much.

    Higher ups don't trust what the rhinos would have to say.

    On a slightly more serious note, twitter, and facebook slightly less, are perfect ways for us to get the news out involving branch closings due to flooding or the power being out. We have more freedom to communicate with those than we do with the website. Sadly my department reports to someone who doesn't understand the whole marketing thing, only wants social media to be used for direct old school advertising. Nothing that could suggest a problem, like a branch being closed, and nothing that would result in dialog from the customer . Thankfully Debby was a big enough wake up call to at least have the director override that person when it comes to branch status updates. So now we need an official plan.

    Congratulations on your mathematically inevitable achievement
    In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
    The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

    Have someone recommend you as the social media officer. An acquaintance of mine is doing that for some vodka company and she's getting paid quite a bit.

    Happy birthday!

    Thanks Ness and Khen.

    Work finally figured it out, likely via facebook. So they pitched in and bought me a present.

    Your keyboard is clean

    You should see the skanky old mouldy keyboards I get to work with.

    Volunteers. Lots of volunteers.
    The courts send us drunk drivers and poorly behaved teens, while the schools send us students needing hours to graduate.

    So yeah, we have one whoms only job is to come in before opening to wipe down and blow out the keyboards.
