Fun with an immigrant janitorial crew

Translation: It must be broken, because I haven't had to refill it in months.

 

(In all seriousness, I give them credit for making the effort.  They could have easily just let us keep using the overflowing toilet until someone finally got fed up enough to complain.  The soap dispenser, though, that's no big help.  You'd be shocked at how many people don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom.)

Three degrees of separation

From this guy:

Yolo County officials were stunned at the arrest and indictment of Woodland resident Harrison Jack as part of a plot to commit a violent overthrow of Laos’ communist government.

That’s the kind of crazy stuff you’d expect to happen in the backwoods of Montana or Idaho, not in Woodland.

Dream Job

Other than being a full-time dad, this is pretty much the closest thing to a dream job in my line of work that I have seen in my 8-ish years as a working adult:

We are now looking to hire a talented web Development Engineer to join our growing team at dpreview.

You will be passionate about digital photography and possess a strong understanding of dpreview, our principles and our community. Being a self starter with good design and user interface skills, you have at least two years demonstrable experience of web development; we will expect you to be able to have extensive experience in ASP.NET 2.0 as well as fully integrated client-side Javascript and hand-coded HTML (reliance on WSIWYG editors will be seen as a negative).  We will also expect you to have experience of SQL databases, specifically Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and 2005.

That's totally the job for me. 

And it's totally in London, with no telecommuting option.
