However, with the advent of modern styling such as small caps and section headers entered only once, this function has depreciated in usefulness.

Haha, I can actually view that at work here. I was reading about blue whales there earlier. They should get rid of Caps Lock.

After I did all that laughing at how other people were having trackball problems, mine goes haywire. This is not okay.

I don't know but they creep me the hell out. It's something about the way they move, how fast and how dangerous they are for being so small. I can't help but stomp one every time I see them.

I used to work at a hotel downtown and the side that faced the lake would be covered in spiders and webs. I couldn't even look out the windows... yuk.

Do people make a conscious effort to look as ridiculous as possible when they leave the house? I mean pull up your damn pants. No one wants to see your underwear. Then you can't even walk normally, you have to spread your knees apart so your pants don't fall down all the way.

And wear clothes that fit. It's no wonder I can't find clothes in my size because some skinny idiot has to wear a 3XLT jacket and 48 waist pants when they need to be wearing a medium and 32. And what the hell is with the white t-shirts that go down to their knees. It looks like one of my mother's nightgowns ffs.

While I agree with your post it makes me think of this site.

I think I need an intervention. I'm seriously considering paying the Verizon etf so I can go back to AT&T and get the 9700. Ugh. This is not okay.

Time seems to stand still when I'm at work, in fact the clock seems to go backwards. Time warp or something going on there.

Mr. Crabs is greedy. I just saw him dump out his neighbor's garbage and sell it at a yard sale.
