So for the last few months, my computer screen has been doing this annoying thing where, every now and then, it starts rolling like a bad TV or something. Rather annoying, but usually a good slap to the side would fix it, so I wasn't too pissy that it was taking agesfor someone to actually replace my screen. Which they finally did, yesterday, apparently, and I really wish they hadn't.At least the rolling thing was only a problem from time to time, and it worked fine most of the time. This one, however, has a display that's just on the dark side of okay for me (and keep in mind that I like my contrast and brightness lower than most people to begin with), even if I crank both the contrast and the brightness up as far as they'll go, and the corners are fuzzy and out of focus, which is so not going to help me avoid headaches. Gah.

In happier news: ( Results of the poll! )

Also, lokifin asked for Firefly recs, which I'll be happy to provide as soon as you tell me which characters and/or pairings you like, pet. :D

Dear self: "escalatated" is not a word.

[ETA] Also, "slutty" and "affectionate" are not symonyms, not even when referring to drunk!Jayne. [/ETA]

Dear co-worker: If you must sing, couldyou at least stick to one song. So far, you've gone through Under the Bridge, La Vie En Rose, some Eighties kitch I can't remember now, It's a Wonderful, Wonderful Life, and several songs I didn't even recognise. Stop it.

Dear other co-workers bemoaning the lack of decent tea in Austria and Denver: Britishest conversation ever.
