Writer's Block: Full Moon Fever

[Error: unknown template qotd]Ask an Emergency Services worker -- police, firefighter, ER tech, nurse -- or psychologist/psychiatrist.

Every one I've asked has told me that there's a surge of non-normal behavior on the full moon.  Some want to vent about it, some say "Oh G-d!  Please can I forget!?".

So...IF it's a myth, enough people believe it and allow it to influence behavior to inconvenience a significant sector!

Or ask a tech support worker. Back when I did help desk, we kept statistics on it for a while - just over 20% more calls on the full moon, with most of them being non-replicable weird errors that were fixed by rebooting.
I think most of us thought the computers themselves were affected by the moon, not just the users. Now that has me thinking about anthropomorphism...hmm.

I've always figured Loki is the patron god of computers, ISPs and associated stuff.

It's not just a myth.

And the activity on LJ in the past 24-hours should convince anyone of that...
