One of the benefits of working where I do is The Fruit Bowl, that costs only 25 cents per unit. It is maintained by Heidi SomeLastName, and it has made working a lot better, because I can finally have healthy snacks. I was the one that requested it offer grapes. I had this IM chat with Heidi today. And as you'll notice, I believe that in chat, speed trumps spelling.

Grape Alert: they are a funny color, but still taste okay. Well, there might be a slight funny taste to them, but how do I know that's not because my perception is altered because of the color and my being suspicious?
If something happens to me, you must tell my story.

haha... would you like me to eat some grapes as well... so we know for sure
?

I don't blame you, or the grapes, I blame our uncaring, as-long-as-it's-good-enough agriculture profit mongers.
don't eat the grapes until you see how I am in a few hours or weeks.
but IM me every 30 minutes and check on me, and ask me about state capitals, so you know it's me and not a grape-me.
11:55 AM SomeLastName, Heidi

for a few days Youtube had a vuvuzela button on every video, so you could add it in.
