You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

What is it about ftp servers that they like to go toes-up at 4:30?

It's the same law that makes the printer will run out of paper the moment you send your timesheet to it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey everyone, I just skipped 400 messages. What's going on?

Obviously nothing you care about, hmm?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Joining in the chorus of "Yes, Tom, you can do it; yes, it's scary; no, it's not easy or natural and it won't be for a good long time yet; but yes, it's possible, and yes, you do indeed have the strength and persistence and courage to do it, you so very much do."

Which is a very long chorus, but every wod of it true.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Congratulations, Alibelle!

Egad. I have been so busy with the baba these days, I just realized I haven't been around here in a week.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hmph, new baby and a toddler, like that's an excuse.

Absolutely. If only she had bought a house or something, then maybe. Just maybe.

Or that HQ will decide to replace a router when you are trying to do the same online.

Database just rolled over and puked. They are having to recall people who went home already.

It's almost comical.

At least this time around nobody is dying.

I think I need a year or two off from the Hectic Life Changes.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sara, obviously your cat has hacked into your company's network in a ploy to avoid getting medicated.
