Apparently Pluto is no longer a planet.

As far as I'm concerned, it's still a planet.  Pluto was a planet before most of those nitwits were born, and even if it doesn't fit their new, more anal definition of what constitutes a planet, it should have had its status grandfathered.

Well, that and they managed to sneak the vote through in a rather underhanded way IMO.

Scientists can be petty too.  Who'd have thunk it?

*thunk*

It's the little things that leave my brain clawing at the inside of my head in a desperate attempt to escape from this place.

Scenario: you work in the Administrative Department, and you get an email from the building's owner advising you of upcoming work to the water lines.  Do you:

a) Send out a note to the staff saying, "the building owners are going to be doing about 4 hours of work on the water lines starting at 23:00 tonight.  During that time the water may look and smell a bit funny."
b) Forward the original message to the staff so that they can read it themselves, or
c) Save the message to a secure network share, create an internal URL link and then mail that out without explanation.  You know, to ensure that nobody reading the message from home using their web-mail account will be able to read the original message content.

If you answered "c" then you might just be qualified to work in our Administrative Department.
