I've always thought that after computers boot up, they should emit the distinct "dun-dun" sound effect of Law and Order instead of the forgettable Windows one.
I don't mind it... except for the open plan pooping. Although, you certainly wouldn't want to wear a skirt. And if you did you'd want to be wearing your nicest pair of undies, not your "I should have done laundry yesterday" knickers.
One small town I lived in, the school superintendent would call me to determine whether they should hold school. I was the morning DJ at a radio station on a hill, and I had to be on the air at 5:30 AM. If I made it up the hill with my car, the roads were fine. If not, the school buses would never be able to run their routes. I walked up that hill a lot.
