Well that's annoying

I had finally found a small desk fan that clamps onto the edge of a desk or table. I noticed that it had, by virtue of Loki constantly walking behind it to get tot he window sill, dust and fur on the fan blades and grill, really choking off the breeze it created.

So, I decide to clean the thing, doing it the right way. Now, it sounds as if something is abrading in the motor. I used some fine grade machine oil on it and it's a bit quieter, but sometimes the fan blades won't start unless you give em a little nudge. :/

Here's hoping I can get another one.

Sneaky bastards

The CEOs aren't going to get bonuses. They are going to get "Retention Awards".

This is like calling shit 'crap' instead.
