This week I have pulled the following blunders:
At this rate, they’ll be pulling a Dr. Strangelove routine any day now.
Now, I’ve taken my own teleporters more than five times in uncounted rounds of TF2, so I knew it wasn’t some long-neglected General achievement. Intrigued, I did a quick Google search but found nothing. I searched the Steam forums. Nothing! Puzzled, I looked back at my list of achievements. It did not appear there under any category. Now, I’ve never heard of custom/server-specific achievements before, but that doesn’t mean they’re not out there. But I couldn’t find any mention of them on mod sites like FPSBanana. Of course, I didn’t think to take a screenshot. So I’m wondering; has anybody else seen or gotten this achievement? Did Valve silently/accidentally roll out part of the upcoming but unfinished Engineer update?
Of course, I felt compelled to print a test page or seven just to make sure my content came up on the printer in front of me, and did not, instead, start spewing paper in some Farm Bureau office out in Karcher Junction, much to the bewilderment of folks there. But no, print it did, right here. I haven’t the foggiest idea why the printer says it’s in Idaho, though. It seems happy enough to think it’s there, so I just let it be, dreaming its little potato dreams of the rugged north.
An additional consideration is that I know my boss reads this blog (hi, Steve!), so I’m not completely comfortable with some of the more cutting remarks I might make about the office, even though the chance of negative repercussions is probably not high. But then, sometimes I just feel that perhaps this blog has run its course, that there’s no more steam left in the boiler. I don’t know. We’ll see.
As the cats settled in for another long period of inaction, I thought about yawning- in particular, how contagious it is. You know the drill; someone next to you yawns and you can’t help but repeat it. While I didn’t see either cat yawn as it curled up for its snooze, they certainly do yawn voluminously when it suits them. But is a yawn transmissible between species? Maybe I should confine myself to bed today (regretfully ignoring the day’s chores) in order to observe the potential behavior firsthand. |
