Saw Superman Returns.

Later I'll get into details and discussion and this that and the other...but for now some simple statement.

I started crying when the Superman Theme started playing.

It was that moment of finally getting a culmination of years worth of being a fan. I was a fan first of the Superman movies. I saw them as a kid on TV and fell in love immediately. My first love was Clark Kent (there's a whole long story on my delusion regarding the character that lasted 20+ years), but with Chris Reeve, you never realize what all is part of the package until you get a new perspective. This was the new perspective, because it was set in the same universe, same timeline...and it was this movie that made me realize that Superman too was part of what I love.

ETA: Spoilers in comments.

Boss lady did the (barely) unimaginable...on a day when all I wanna do is be onling discussing Superman or NASCAR, she manages to kill her computer.

First she went to delete everything in the email deleted folder and hit a button wrong and opened everything instead. On a slow laptop. 418 emails. We got that to stop by removing the battery from the computer. (Nothing else would work, naturally, that is supposed to work. Stupid laptop.)

Then her emails weren't sorting right. Turns out the removing of the battery changed the date to 1969, which had email sorting her email by month instead of year, so... (This of course was a problem because she only has several hundred emails in her inbox.)

Now her computer hasn't received an email in 45 minutes other than one from a coworker. No outside emails. This is she of the many emails, so something is obviously wrong.

And who's the technical genius in residence?

(Let it be known, what I don't know is why we hire contractors to do these things. And I don't know lots. I'm just good at figuring out computer logic.)

And so I find this icon to be highly appropriate to today.
