Fun stuff. My boss dropped into my office to discuss some ugly (but very cool) code being added. It'll make the system way more flexible and useful. Which is to say it's being a pain in the backside to implement. My boss was making it more complex by figuring out how to do automatic transfers of control. I asked how often they'd be dispatching each other's units anyway, and suggested it just demand the operator perform the transfer themselves - because that way, if the subsequent command fails, the operator will KNOW the units were transferred. *nods*

Meanwhile, Y. came in with the yellow lab, and said, "Better protect your trashcan." I told him (cheerfully/humorous) that I didn't see why, if the dog ate my dental gum, it was his problem, after all, and wasn't he curious to see what the dental gum would do to the dog's digestion? (Despite his joking, he wouldn't have let the dog eat from my trash - and I know it. That dog in particular has a sensitive digestion and any treats or weirdness tends to cause digestive upset. Hence, if only in self-defense, he would keep the dog out of my garbage. Amazing how quickly he took the dog away after I indicated I wasn't going to help keep him out of the trash, though.... :)
