What's everyone up to right now?

Just got some sample text from a potential customer, only to find that instead of needing editing, it'll mostly need a complete, sentence by sentence retool. He's very clearly not a native English speaker, but I'm beginning to wonder whether the effort is worth the money.

Sounds like what I've been doing: A couple years ago my firm put together new Fire Life Safety drawing standards for a local hospital and this is our first go doing the updates for their 2014 Life Safety set... and the architect they've been working with apparently looked at the standards, then put a lighter to them.

We reviewed what they sent us to do the updates and we sent them back saying they weren't following the standards and that they needed to follow the standards we informed them of two years ago when they came to our office to learn what the standards were, and what did they do? They sent us the same thing a second time with an email that basically said "This is what we're giving you because we don't want to have to do the work to follow the new hospital standards. Fuck you very much! XOXO"



My coworker and I are sitting down with our boss today to talk about how we want to tell the client that their architect didn't do the work he paid them for so now he has to pay us to do it.

Nothing much. Drinking coffee and thinking and laying around. I have an idea for a thread based off of Morgan's indoctrination thread and I have some new ideas that might explain the evolutionary robustness of biases like the backfire effect. But I so lazy. I have no idea whether I'll write up my new ideas. I also have some thoughts on the shakiness and irrationality of belief without evidence, but again, I so lazy.

Lately, I have been listening to a lot of Progressive Rock. I got first introduced to this genre by a friend of mine some years back. He is a big Progressive Rock nut. Hence as a result I have listened to groups such as Genesis, Emerson Lake and Palmer, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Yes and some other groups.

I do consider Jethro Tull to be a Progressive Rock band, even they in their Aqualung and especially Thick as a Brick albums were intended to poke fun at Progressive Rock at that time. By the way my favourite Progressive Rock groups would be King Crimson and Pink Floyd.

Good grief you make me feel old. Was listening and enjoying these guys when they were first released! Don't forget YES in that genre. Awesome music that was so new at the time.

Damn you Tristo! now I'm up to UB40!

Wow a woman who enjoys listening to Progressive Rock, then again at least offline most of the women I meet enjoy pop and RnB music. Artists and Groups such as Katy Perry, P!nk, One Direction, Beyonce, Usher, etc.

Myself, I find that music and it's performers to be not very good, that is why some of them need backup singers. I prefer artists and groups who can actually sing and play their instruments.

Just finished watching the first episode of a Korean drama that was really popular. If the first episode is any indication, I understand why it was so popular. I just noticed I've got to go to the library tomorrow to pick up the DVD set of "The Blue Planet," and I've got stuff to return to a library in the suburbs by Tuesday. Maybe I should combine tasks.

Feeling rather lazy tonight. Listening to music (Foxy Shazam) and drinking coffee.
