My office just took me out to lunch and gave me pressies for Graduating!
Woohoo! Go you!
Maybe I do need to go to the ceremony to press the giftie issue.
Or maybe a casual but enthusiastic mention of these gifts will result in MORE gifts.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Your office is very cool! Congratulations!
I have no idea how to check user numbers, other than clicking on the person's name.

Click on someone's profile then replace their number with other numbers. You can also read people's user numbers if you hover over their names.

It's true. I suck at thank you notes.

Coding and Sleeping
Arrrgh! The stupid Build Server will no longer boot again preventing me from actually getting any work done on the project that I want to get done with so I can do actual actual work. Plus, for the (looking up actual number) 4th time I getting asked how to verify this particular fix with product A. I said 3 times that product A does not contain a single line of code from the project that the fix is in. Ugh.

Aww, I'm sorry. But that reminds me, are people really aware of graduation announcements? Because, to me, it totally looks like an invitation to graduation, what with the invitation look, the announcement of graduation, and the date and time. I would show up, thinking it was an invitation, when, really, all the person wanted from me was a check. I had no idea. I didn't buy any, because I'm pretty sure no one in my family knows about graduation announcements, either, and the people who might actually give me money already know I'm graduating. The announcements just seem to add confusion to the mix. And yet, most people I've talked to do seem to know about them. Weird.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
thank you notes
ruh-roh. that's gonna suck.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think graduation announcements are key for the not-that-close (geographically and familially) people. They'd never actually come to the graduation, but you want to remind them to send you stuff.
Ooh, will I get presents for getting a master's?? I wonder if my parents will even come to graduation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I want belt test presents, dammit. Okay, maybe just for black, but I want them.
