"You're a pessimist."
"I am Russian, Doctor. We understand these things."
<g
But I always think that, too, and I'm neither Russian nor Jewish - as
far as I know. (Although I was once told by a Jewish friend's mother
that I get 5,000 years credit towards being a Jew for being born in
New York. Which I thought was nice.) I do the same thing with phone
calls during certain late night or early morning hours - I always
assume that someone is in the hospital or worse.

Yeah, being born in New York does make you an honorary Jew of a sort. You
probably use Yiddish slang, too. I was telling someone this yesterday --
that when I worked in the music business, it was astonishing how frequently
someone would answer the phone in Bucharest, in Paris, in Topeka,
Kansas...with a New York accent and using Yiddish slang. Yiddish is the
liturgical language of the entertainment business, pretty much. And also of
New Yorkers. :-)

But of course I do, *bubele*. <g
I suspect that by this time most New Yorkers (and showbiz types) who
use Yiddish slang don't even know they're doing so, it has become so
assimilated into everyday language. The last time I visited the Bronx
I was in a bodega ("corner store" or independnet convenience store, a
borrowing from Spanish for those unfamiliar with the term.) The guy
running the place, who I assume was the manager, was Indian or
Pakistani and he was arguing with his landlord, who was black, as i
entered the store. As the landlord left, the store manager looked at
me, pointed at the landlord's retreating back and said, "Putz!"
I love New York. <g
BTW, I once ate at the Russian Tea Room, so that must get me all sorts
of extra points. <vbg
(OK, I once literally had a glass of tea at the Russian Tea Room. I
was in high school and a bunch of us came down to Manhattan to see the
Pythons perform at City Center. We went to the RTR after the show,
and almost had a collective heart attack when we saw the prices. When
we pooled out money I think we had enough for a round of tea and a
couple of cakes, which we let the girls eat. But it was worth it.)

Which is odd considering we were never Methodists. <g

the doctor's office there - walk down to the bottom of Lighthouse
Hill to get the bus. Take the bus to New Dorp. Then the SIRT
(Staten Island Rapid Transit) to St. George where we got the
Staten Island Ferry to Brooklyn. Then the subway, another bus
and another walk. There was a little "drug store" on the corner
by the bus stop that made the best chocolate ice cream sodas.

Newbie. ;^) I started doing that as part of my job in 1981 and
switched to it as my entire job in 1986. Never looked back, I
love doing it.
I've been in an on-call cycle the majority of my career. Places
that did not pay overtime I always tried to be kind to the night
shift folks because I knew other members of my team tended
to snap at them when a wake-up call came in.
This job I get a billable hour with OT pay for after hours work.
I find it much easier to have a good attitude at getting woke up
now, especially because a company that pays cash money
for after hours work doesn't make constant calls at night.
Best of both worlds the way that works.
I use custom ring tones for folks these days. I looked for
Babylon 5 theme music from my phone provider without luck.
I downloaded the Star Wars "Imperial March" aka the Darth
Vader theme for day shift office folks. I downloaded the Star
Trek: TMP music for when the Klingon battle fleet tries to
attack V'ger for night shift office folks (the good attitude version
of Chris's WTF is wrong now quip). My family get one of the
upbeat themes like the ST-TNG credits theme or the Star
Wars original movie award ceremony theme.
I figure I could get scans of B5 theme music in MP3 but I
would rather download my tones directly from my vendor
because of security concerns. Working in IT means I'm not
paranoid about computer security - I know the threats are
quite real so it isn't paranoid ...

We're a small company, so we don't have 24 hour staff. We have a
monitoring system that alerts us to problems, as well as a message
center (like used by doctors) for some business customers to call for
help. We're each on-call for a week at a time (right now I'm #1 on the
list 1 out of every 6 weeks); our only "reward" is that if we don't miss
anything (e.g. #2 on the list and/or the manager don't get any alerts or
calls), we get a three day weekend the next week.
It used to really suck (you didn't get a good night's sleep all week),
but I've got things working much better now where you often go 2-3
on-call cycles without an alert (you still have to think about being
more available though). The few recurring problems (e.g. mail servers
nailed by spammers, SSH servers by password scanners) that can't be
avoided are self-fixing.
The biggest problem for me is that I'm pretty much responsible for
everything on our network (both servers and network gear). I either put
it all in place or configured it for someone else to put it there. That
means the really weird problems usually fall back to me. I've made our
stuff resistant to the "normal" problems, so when we get an alert, it
can sometimes be for something nobody's seen before (so no documentation
on how to fix, not a real good path documented path for diagnosis).
In those cases (which don't come up but maybe once every year or three),
they still call me. I got a call from work at Dragon*Con last year
while I was working D*C tech-ops. Work had to call through D*C ops
because I was in a cell phone dead zone; I had a radio call for "red
hat" (my badge name) that work was on the phone in ops, and I knew that
wasn't a good sign. It turned out to be not too bad though; the person
calling was already working on the problem, they just weren't sure of
everything that needed to be done (one unique server out of two dozen
otherwise identically configured servers).
I got off the phone, and D*C ops folks asked if the Internet was down or
not. :-)
When I last got a new phone, I made sure I could load in my own
ringtones. I can load MP3s, WAVs, and maybe WMAs, over a USB cable, via
Bluetooth, or from a flash card. My monitoring system alert tone is
actually a sampled copy of my old text pager; a very annoying sound that
is sure to wake me up.

That would be a big "Yes", unless it has somehow managed to become
*worse* in the intermi, which I wouldn't rule out.
I'd never seen it before (and will never watch it again), but I did
record it this time, thinking it might be fun to see Bruce and Walter
have a couple of scenes together, even if the rest of it sucked.
Imagine my surprise when Walter turned out to have a one-scene cameo
where he supplied some exposition to Bruce on the freakin' telephone!
Dreadful plotting, horrible dialogue, prefab characters moved in and
out of cliche situations. The script had a paint-by-numbers feel to
it. (Athough the doctor did have an unintentionally funny line when
he said he was "stumped" by the case of the deputy who got his hand
dissolved.)
Apart from that it was a kind of sad reunion of "B" TV actors from the
80s - most of whom I barely recognized. (William Katt, Gil Gerard,
Veronica Hamel., plus Walter and Bruce himself.)
All-in-all it made me long for the days of such quality drama as "The
Snakehead Terror". <g

I didn't notice Gil Gerard or William Katt in this movie. Last time I
saw William Katt was in that movie where he was a writer in a remote
small town that ended up getting attacked by a spider like creature
and another alien that was hunting the spider like creature. I
couldn't help but notice that Veronica Hamel hasn't been treated well
by the years compared to William Katt and Bruce. She's gained a lot of
weight and it looks like she had some sort of accident that's scared
her face (around what is probably her right eye.) Yes, it's a bit
shallow but I was struck by how good looking and slim she was back in
"Hill Street Blues" days so the difference was quite striking to me.
LOL.

Gerard played the bald cop (trooper? sheriff?) from the next town over
who investigated the accident where Bruce's office assistant
disappeared. Katt played the doctor. And Hamel looked much better on
"Lost" last year than she did in this film. Between her appearance and
the oddly brief cameo nature of her role (one quick scene on the phone
in close-up and one off-screen phone call to Bruce) I got the
impression that she wasn't well when they shot this film. She
probably did it for the paycheck and the producers used her to have
another "name" in the credits.
Regards,
Joe

Well, when you work in an industry that's inherently shallow, such
scrutiny is to be expected.

Have you seen Sharon Gless in "Burn Notice"? Definitely no longer the
hot stacked blond she used to be in "Cagney & Lacey"... And I think
she's lost some height.

I think it may have gotten worse. Perhaps because I watched the Sand
Serpents movie the other night and while it isn't a good movie, it's
still much better than the Bone Eater. Perhaps because the plot of
Sand Serpents was kept very simple and they filled much of the time
with attack sequences so there wasn't much need for dialogue.

Or collapse into a singularity and form a Black Hole of suckage.
