Don’t you hate it when you’re fiddling with something on your iPhone and someone has the temerity to actually call you and the iPhone’s all “Hey, I’m a phone! Whee! Answer me!” Yeah, me too.

H1N1 and the seasonal flu
A helpful animation on how to prevent the spread of H1N1 in the workplace.
“ Most of us followed them out soon after, and, in the end, last call was announced. The lights came up, the jukebox went quiet. We could hear the clink of glasses and the exhausted silence of waitstaff as they began to clean up, wiping down the shiny surfaces, placing the padded barstools on top of the bar. Their work would soon be done, they could see something waiting for them at home—a bed, a meal, a lover. But we didn’t want the night to end. We kept hanging on, waiting for them to send over the big guy who’d force us out with a final command. And we would leave, eventually. Out to the parking lot, a few parting words. “Sure was good to see you again,” we’d say. And with that, we’d get in our cars and open the windows and drive off, tapping the horn a final time. But for the moment, it was nice just to sit there together. We were the only two left. Just the two of us, you and me.
Then We Came to the End, Joshua Ferris
