stuff that amuses me at work

[lotus0kid]

I've been doing a lot of research on local companies recently, and that has involved going through a list of all the companies on CareerBuilder (argh). So far, I've come across some really interesting ones:

1. GenCorp- "I leave for ten minutes and Evil Co. is in shambles!" Actually, I'm not sure if I should be surprised or not that there's a company called the same thing as the antagonistic corporation from Time Chasers.
2. Alpha & Omega Publishing- Somehow the fact that it would be a Christian publishing company run by two crazy composite Actives makes it even better.
3. ASCAP- "We're agents Boetticher and Kennedy from American Shrimp and Crab Amalgamated Processors. Law enforcement branch." You know, I always thought MM saying they don't use the acronym for copyright reasons was a joke because ASCAP sounds like "ass cap," but it turns out ASCAP also stands for the American Society of Composers, Authors, & Publishers, sooo...

ETA: Lost tonight! Oh boy! fadeintodawn, gelatinous_goat, I know it won't be the same as when we were all hanging out in the common room, but if you guys happen to be on the computer tonight and want to watch it with me, I think we could do a great pseudo discussion post.

Auggh, it's so creepy when you see someone appear behind someone else.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Indeed. So, this Temple? That's new. I wonder if the Others/Dharma folks new about it.

Also, congratulations- this is my first post with more than one page of comments. ^^

Oh hey, the Alt!Universe! For some reason I thought we wouldn't see any more of this.

[saena17.livejournal.com]

The what?

[saena17.livejournal.com]

I totally forgot about Miles's talking to dead people thing. :)

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

It's so random. I'm not a fan of the talking to dead people thing.

Oh hey! Hi, flight attendant lady!

Second theory of the night: the hydrogen bomb solution worked, but everyone's still 30 years in the past. Maybe it worked in 2004 (which would have been the present), but didn't change the island timeline? I don't know, but I don't like the idea of two Jacks and two Sawyers and everything running around.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Well, they know they're back in 2004 because that was the hatch Desmond blew up, not the one that Juliet blew up in.. 1974?

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Hey, where the heck is Sun post-H bomb? This is not cool.

She was with the crew who Locke was taking to see Jacob, right? We don't know where any of them are now. We've only seen Jacob that one time.

Season 1 parallels!

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Hey yeah! But... I don't think Sayid's coming back like Charlie did.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Well, naturally he had to die, so that the bad things they've been talking about happening if Sayid died can happen and we can have a show.

Still, boo. -_-.

[saena17.livejournal.com]

I know. It's so sad. :(

Hi, Claire!

But, hey, wait a minute. Is that David H. Lawrence the Whatever (Eric Doyle) from Heroes as the cab driver?

[saena17.livejournal.com]

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT! But I couldn't get a clear view of his face! Guess we'll see in a little bit...

[saena17.livejournal.com]

Heh. Go Hurley for calling him out on his BS.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

He's great for that.

The dynamic between Ben and Locke is one of my favorite parts of these last few seasons. Especially their snarky conversations.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

They did have ridiculously awesome snarky conversations. It's not really the same with this weird Not!Locke guy.

[saena17.livejournal.com]

Wow, suddenly that statement became so loaded. Well done, writers.

[saena17.livejournal.com]

Also "nothing's irreversible." Funny, considering the whole reason they're talking in the first place.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

Aww. That'd be nice if Jack fixed Locke's paralysis.

[saena17.livejournal.com]

Welcome back, Sayid!

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

WHOA. Hi, Sayid! Dang, I really didn't think he was coming back.

[saena17.livejournal.com]

Yay, good episode! I can't believe it's the last season. I remember watching the premiere like it was yesterday.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

I know, it's gonna be so weird not having Lost around anymore. I hope they come up with a cool new show to replace it.
