Perhaps, but not 25,000 points...

The HP books happened at the right time to work as well as they did. Although I didn't find much original, I did like the way Rowling spliced them together. There were moments when I wondered just what the plot was going on about but when the books wrapped up I could look back and say "Oh, so that's why she wrote that." And yes, marketing was well done, but the books - and there were seven of them - still needed to have something going for them.
As to movies, I almost fell asleep during "Star Wars - Attack of the Clowns". In the theater, no less. I forced myself to stay awake coz I paid money for it.

Besides Craig, are there any other Threadizens residing in Pheonix?I'm also in Phoenix.
Sorry for responding late...just catching up on the Thread now, I was off last week and busy this week with work.
Well, turned out I couldn't make a trip down to Phoenix from Prescott. We barely got to see the Grand Canyon on Tuesday before heading back here to Colorado so we could go to the Colorado School of Mines on Wednesday.

Would it be impolite if we passed the mark while our fellow threadizens from the US are still asleep?

I really have better things I could be doing on a friday than sitting at Client from Hell, writing a support document.
Q: What to do if the user complains that the vehicle is not in the system?
A: Laugh, then put the phone down.
Somehow I don't think they'd appreciate that...

Not all of us are a sleep, even though I should go to bed. Good thing I don't have to work today, using my second day of comp time to recover from the road trip earlier this week.

As long as no one goes off and starts an SSC thread or posts a QotD should be OK.
So, any suggestions? I'd rather stay away from data recoverability, DR as that's not a joking subject. (11)

Could be something on System Center/Atlanta. Nobody knows it, it would be quite easy to put together an April fools. You could say it also monitors Access databases or some other kind of BS.
