#6289 Sleep, words, people sold as dogs, banning folks

The folks at PT are using me as a reference book again, which is fine, and flattering, but I always add the caveat, “Be sure and double check.” I answered a lot of general trivia, specifically about Yeoman Janice Rand, (Who was that chick with the ‘I dream of Jeannie hair that was the secretary?’… I admittedly don’t know the crazy amount of info on the link) and a few other misc items crossword puzzling.

I had to ban a user from the menstrualhut for being an idiot and writing abusive replies to some of the members there. They’ve been submitted to abuse team for review.. we’ll see if he gets deleted outright, or if the user-blocking is enough. I’ve only had to do it once before,

Wow, I got home, had a seat, and just totally conked out. I was reading one second, and the next, total brain shutdown. It seems like I just closed my eyes for a half-second and the sun outside went out. Very rarely to I switch off and on that rapidly. I think it’s a side effect of being awakened so early this morning… though naps usually give me a sense of comfort and peace, this was more of a “reset”. I’m wide awake now… hopefully I’ll get to sleep at a decent hour tonight, and fix my snooze-schedule.

Well, I got boosted from bedski at the all-to-early hour of 5am, so I’m up up up, now. I’m pleased that the server is behaving the way it should, now, as there were errors getting into the primary login database last night.. I’m glad we have multiple servers for just such an occasion.
