I’ve rearranged my work schedule to work M-Th 8-5 and get Fridays off. This is great, because now I get to sit at Spider House all day, which I had become accustomed to when ‘working from home’ for so long. So I get to catch up on my photo editing, other random computer tasks, maybe do a little contract work, or actually get back in the neuro lab once in a while.
Speaking of Spider House, I’m sitting here now. Johnny has Metallica’s “And Justice For All” playing at 9AM (which I think is great). I’m drinking a big ol’ mug of coffee, and I just discovered that Google Talk recognizes the “m/” (metal horns) emoticon, which is totally hilarious. It works even better if you have one of the colored emoticon sets enabled. It also doubles as a “hook em horns” sign, so that’s nice.
Here’s a list of gtalk emoticons I decided to dig up, just for you.

Yeeeesssss. m/
I can’t believe I never knew about metal horns! What kind of internet addict am I? Clearly I need to start reading more rss feeds.
Emoticons = “sign language” for the lazy
😉

that’s cool, now that i’m working “from home” (well “working” even) it’s a little boring, and the big screen entices me to drift from this 14.1 in. one every second of every minute, even as i’m typing this sentence…
