Yuck being back at work. I really could have used another week off, or another week of being at work but closed, or even just one more day. If the holidays had been arranged differently I would have come back on Saturday so I would have had a day to adjust, but I really didn't want to travel on New Year's Day (although given how vacant and closed everything was in Kitchener, maybe it wouldn't have been so bad).

Does anyone have a clue why LJ has never implemented a search-within-journal feature? Heck, maybe even only for paid users? Is it just a problem of the huge scale of indexing such a thing vs. the abilities of the database/servers? Because I can hardly count the times I've wanted to search for all the posts a user made in their journal (or in a comm) about topic X, or scratched my head going "ugh, when did I make that post about X which has the comment thread about Y?"... For those who allow their journal to be indexed by websearches that can sometimes fill in (although inelegant), but I would love for there to be a within-LJ-only equivalent so that I could block spiders, but still search journals.

teh silly

I just listed my haircut this month in my expense spreadsheet (yes, I am a Virgo nerd) as Haircut 100.
