New Product Friday: Switches
Solar botics
October 26, 2012
Ok, switches everywhere! Most importantly, switching from Friday to Saturday is scheduled exactly at 12.00pm tonight, hopefully it happens on time. Because it was a long five days, and another seven before that, and then another seven. Should I continue? I think we all deserve a little bit of time titled Saturday and Sunday. Also, Saturdays are just by definition are better than Fridays. At least because they start with S, just like switches. You get the idea, right?

Well, hopefully everyone completes the transition from Friday to Saturday successfully, and no one gets stuck in chronometric limbo, 'cuz that would just suck. Those poor people would be transferred right into the Monday morning with their popcorn dishes, in their pajamas and one sock, and maybe a cat stuck to their lap. God forbid.
