Not if the product key doubles as a steam key.
I don't think anyone even does resale on PC games, because of the key issue.
So, last night I stayed at work until about 10:00pm to finish up a big translation case, because I saw on my case list that I had a huge caseload today.
This morning, I came into work to find that I'd misread my case list. I actually have a really light day today. Additionally, by finishing that big translation case yesterday, I've lightened my caseload today even further, to the point where I actually have nothing to do in the morning.
Though... I predict that it'll be less than 30 minutes before my supervisor realizes I don't have anything to do this morning, and assigns me a new case.

I'm pretty sure your actual complaint is that it means you can't use In Home Streaming and lay on the couch.

Yep, my solution has been to open up a random Word document and stare at it thoughtfully.Activate Stealth Mode!

Actually, in-home streaming works for non-steam games added to steam! It's pretty boss.
It's that thing we do.

Holy crap I'm freaking out right now.
My old graduate institute just asked me if I'd be willing to go back and teach a course on consecutive interpretation. This is a graduate institute I didn't even manage to graduate from (stupid thesis). And somehow, they think so highly of me that they'd be willing to ask me back to teach the next generation of interpreters, to train them up so that they'll be able to become professional interpreters in Taiwan and abroad.
Holy shit. That's an amazing honor. I am so freaking chuffed right now.
Though unfortunately I won't be able to take the job, so this is just a minor victory rather than an epic win. But still. I am filled with a sense of awesomeness.

Trying to give it one of everything. I get the reference.
I get to have my last infected, abscessed tooth pulled/cut out tomorrow. The two I had done a couple of weeks ago have healed amazingly well, so I'm really looking forward to the cessation of all of my mouth pain. Then they can fit me for a mouth guard to keep me from grinding all of the enamel off of my teeth at night. Minor victory because, as much as I know my mouth will feel awesome soon, it's going to take some pain to get it there, and I can't have any Hydrocodone this time, because I could feel myself getting hooked last time.
The coffee addiction I'm OK with, but I kicked nicotine almost a year ago, and I'm not going back to that or moving on to anything more powerful.
Finally, after a very long wait...
Every one of these just looks to me like a chibi version of...
...and no, I never watched the show (until someone salvaged a couple VHS cassettes and gave them to our son)
EDIT: For @Squidleybits and anyone else - It's a Henson show named "Bear in the Big Blue House" and was aimed at the same sort of audience as "Blue's Clues."

Interesting aside, I knew the main puppeteer of Bear at Walt Disney World. Really interesting how the costume works and how they are seeing their show.

I was introduced to this show when I was potty training my son. So, naturally, we started off with the potty training episode. The show starts off with an introduction of the bear, the house, and friends, zooms in on the front door..it opens and Bear greets the camera. Then he sniffs, and goes "what's that smell?" This is the potty episode...i think to myself "oh no you di'ent! They're gonna say you smell like you shit your pants in the first 5 minutes?"
But no, this is just the standard opening, evidently, and Bear always smells something like honey or cotton candy. But not knowing that led to an extreme "wow, seriously?" moment.
Something I hate: When you're following behind some slow-ass motherfucker in the store, because the place is too busy for you to get around them. And they stop and just stand there, for no goddamn reason whatsoever.
My wife calls that behavior "milling and pooping."
