random bits

Seen on the way home from work: a bright-yellow pickup truck with a huge Steelers decal on the rear window and "The Terrible Truck" painted on the back panel. Makes me wonder what the owner does in years when they aren't doing well. :-) (I also wonder whether those window decals are translucent. If not, it obscured at least a quarter of the rear view, which sounds like a bad idea to me.)

We have the capacity for fresh-baked doughnuts at work. Neat! And they're pretty good, too -- cake-style, which is the kind I prefer, and they're tasty when they're hot out of the oven counter-top cooking gadget. (A coworker found the appliance at Goodwill and brought it in; another coworker then brought in basic ingredients. Next time we make some we need to take a piping-hot doughnut to the person who orders our supplies, along with a request for flour, sugar, eggs... :-) )

I wonder why my cell phone, which I've had for almost a year, has, in the last day, begun displaing the text "Verizon wireless" continuously. (Or, at least, it's there every time I've looked.) I'd never seen it before yesterday, and I haven't changed anything with the phone or the plan. Dani (same plan, same phone) has been seeing it for a while. Weird.

This business with the floaters in my eye is allowed to stop now. Really. Sheesh. I'm glad my boss is understanding, but I'd be happier if he didn't have to demonstrate that on this particular point.

Actually, the Steelers were in the 1995-96 season Super Bowl. They lost to the Dallas Cowboys 27-17.
