I love that your doctor texts you. I can't even get my doctor to email.

And I think we exploded the last can of frog substitute in a ritual to try and summon real frog.
Didn't work too well, all we got was some frog, which tastes like haggis. No thanks.

I've had frog legs, they were batter-fried. I didn't care for them much.
Here, I'm going to slip these mushrooms and zucchinis (courgettes for the UKians) on the BBQ and open another pale ale.

Slight change of mushroom topic back to the Icebergy topic . . .
How many Thingites:
a) Post the current Thingite calendar on their personal spaces.
b) Print off a copy and post it in their cubicles or RL message boards.
c) Use the Thingite calendar as part of their organizer.
d) Blurt out, "Thank God it's Poets!" or some such at the end of the workweek.
e) Otherwise use the "Sodit", "Wimpy", "Wibble" and all the rest in RL.

I think of them as Poets and such, I will actively use Poets in RL, and I otherwise don't give a , my week is divided into week and weekend.

a) When I remember to edit my space--I've been a member of the Royal Procrastinator's Society much longer than I've been a Thingite Heck, PaperBaby's space still states that it just got changed because she was born, and she's 4 and nearly a half now!
b) No, but then, I hadn't thought of printing it off
c) I don't have an organizer, unless you count my husband...
d) Too tired to blurt out anything at the end of the w*rkweek.
e) Er, just on h2g2

I haven't done any of those things, quite like the sound of it though. Poets is easy enough, lots of people use that already.

I really hate having to explain what Poets means though...

a) I haven't gotten around to doing this yet. Maybe I ought to look up the Royal Procrastinator's Society...
b) I actually have a copy stuck to the side of my computer!
c) There are a few notes written on it.
d) I announced that just this afternoon!
e) My friends think I'm crazy for it!

Thanks to all who responded to my little survey:
a) Post the current Thingite calendar on their personal spaces.
b) Print off a copy and post it in their cubicles or RL message boards.
c) Use the Thingite calendar as part of their organizer.
d) Blurt out, "Thank God it's Poets!" or some such at the end of the workweek.
e) Otherwise use the "Sodit", "Wimpy", "Wibble" and all the rest in RL.
The reason I ask, I wonder if there would be customers if I could ever get enough months head to make a full calendar.

I don't print things out, and I'm too lazy to change the code every month.
But if you want to make an add-on to Thunderbird that would change it's calender to a Thingite one, I'd download it.
