You know the wisecrack that the ancient Greeks lived in reach of the eminently climbable mountain they believed their gods lived on and never tried to climb it? I know I have heard it before work tonight, but tonight it's really pissing me off. One, how the fuck do you know nobody tried. (Wiki says nobody reached the top till about a hundred years ago, which I do not disbelieve, but ten to one the successful venture used tech not accessible to the ancient Greeks.) Two, that statement evinces a blatant misunderstanding of how any of this works. Two people could be standing side by side on the mountaintop while one of the pair tours the palace of the gods, and the other one wouldn't necessarily notice a thing. Three, Mount Olympos was and is hardly the only holy ground in Greece! Not even the only holy mountain! Mount Helicon's height is not impressive; I bet people have been up and down it all the time dating back to prehistory, and I refer you back to point two.

I don't even know why this came up.

I feel less like shit than I did this morning (thank you, eponis), but I still feel like shit and I can't seem to persuade myself to either put shoes on, grab my tunes, and walk the length of the apartment complex and back or grab my textbook and start reading the readings for discussion due tomorrow.

Poor tech support manager. We have bugged her at home twice this week for a problem that, last week, we could fix ourselves. (This system, folks.)

I am at lunch early. That seemed more sensible than waiting a half hour for tech manager to arrive and then being late to lunch. Told my manager this. Coworker K (dude edition) promptly volunteered to trade desks with me till tech manager fixes the problem at my desk. How sweet of him. Manager said "your volunteerism is appreciated."
