So, art meets life in strange ways. First, this poor guy at The Onion had his mom find out about his blog. Next, a Microsoft employee gets fired for posting innocuous-seeming information about work. However, if you're worried about getting caught blogging by your boss, you can always check out the web fire escape :)

Good news at work this week, as CTC staff learn that we can *finally* limit the use of the only terminals in the building that have Office products to no games. Normal people would think that it wasn't all that strange to have library computers reserved for library work like looking up books, using databases, and typing assignments or resumes. But, here in Broward County, the norm is to have fifty terminals tied up by kids playing Age of Empires or giggling in chat rooms while the lineup at the reference desk of people who need to know where the books are stretches out the door. Does this make sense? Well, no. Is it typical Broward County decision-making? Well...

Anyway, the good news is we can start clamping down on what I still insist on believing is misuse of library resources, if only in a small way. Between that and the security guard we're getting back after a disasterous first term, perhaps the hours between 2 and 5 will seem like less of a zoo. Maybe reference desk staff will even be able to hear the patrons who call in on the phone! Am I asking for too much?

It had to happen sometime, I guess...darcysworld is now officially listed in google. Still doesn't come up in the early listings if you just type my name, though, which is good. Searching on my first name brings up some...interesting...selections. Like Dame Darcy. Or the Darcy School in New Jersey, that aims "to promote intellectual and emotional intelligence of the highest quality for children of all abilities by creating a nurturing environment that celebrates and values each child as a unique learner filled with extraordinary potential." Not to be confused with the Jim Darcy School, of course, which "believe[s] each student belongs and has a right to be safe,respected, and successful ... [and] create[s] a caring place where students maximize their unique talents and capabilities on a life-long learning journey." Darcy Hordichuk plays for the Florida Panthers...who knew?

You can get your daily dose of culture from the D'Arcy Museum of Art. If your tastes are more lowbrow, check out the movies of Darcy Demoss, who "has spent much of her time becoming your quintessential B-movie actress, her roles include getting killed, beat up, and/or naked." Even seedier than that, I suppose, is darcy-escort.co.uk, which is for those 18 and older and which I don't dare open at work.

And before you leave, don't forget to pick up your pollution control equipments and absorbents from Darcy Products--"The most comprehensive range of equipments to enable you to avoid incidents likely to result in prosecution"!!
