I'm disappointed in Stan. Usually I can say the smallest quote from the original Star Trek, and San can tell me the episode and context. He's also good with any TV trivia. Well once Mr. Spock said "This bickering is pointless." It's one of my favorite Mr. Spock quotes. But I can't quite place the quote to an episode. I think it was from The Tholian Web. Mr. Spock was in charge of the Enterprise as Captain Kirk was held in a tractor beam in a space suit outside as the Tholians were making a web around the ship. They couldn't leave as they would loose Kirk. Scotty (who Stan named is son after,...) and McCoy were arguing. Then Spock said, "This bickering is pointless." I think.
Well the women in my office were bickering as usual today. I'm sitting there in my cube going crazy listening to this, and I wanted to stand up and say "This bickering is pointless!"
But I didn't. I'm going crazy. I go to Montana and gain back some sanity and then I return here and go crazy. Back to Montana, sanity, come back and crazy again.
It's nuts.

There's no way to say, "Look, it's difficult to do my work when I can hear you arguing? If you're going to argue, can you do it somewhere else?"
That's tough. I'm sorry. :(
My office is really quiet. It's nice. But the motion sensor in the room doesn't pick me up at my computer, so the light goes out and I'm in the dark alone. It's not like that when my officemate gets here (because the motion sensor does pick his movements up), but it's kind of interesting when people are looking for me and they don't think I'm in my office because the light is out.
It's nice and quiet today so perhaps eveyone got it out of their system yesterday. If I said anything it would make things worse. Like when one dog is howling and then another one starts howling and pretty soon all the dogs are howling. Well it isn't that bad....Not quite.
That's strange about the motion sensor. That would bug me. That's like my surround sound system at home. For a while the subwoofer wouldn't get enough signal and turn itself off. Then it would pop back on when there was music on. It bothered me. I'd sit there and watch the light go from green to red when it turned off. I found myself focusing on this and not the TV show! I finally got it to stay on all the time. If I were in your office I'd have a tennis ball, and when the light went out I'd bounce the ball off the wall or something to get the light back on.
It never fails ... office women ALWAYS bicker! It drives me nuts. Guess I am too much of a tomboy to really care!
Glad to hear it isn't just this office. That's a cool picture Megan!
