Natter 37: Oddly Enough, We've Had This Conversation Before.  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

My sister just called me (from the UK) with a technical support issue for her new laptop. The discussion included her saying "The manual doesn't tell me shit! I don't wanna ... oh, that manual. Fair enough."

This is why I should get caller ID.

I think working in the Keebler tree would be nice, but I don't think they hire non-elf workers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hear Ernie Keebler's a real PITA to work for. Discriminatory, too.

I have 30 minutes then I need to go back to the mechanic.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

It was a excellent experience overall, Tom. Just - the periodic meetings were like a circle of hell.

Wow, according to the latest memo we just went from having 1 Dress Down Day a month to having one whenever there's a holiday. Jeesh.

The premise here is very flawed. You should be able to dress however you damned well please on holidays, because you're not at work.

I think it's the day before or after the holiday. But, yes, that was my first thought as well.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm bored. Does anyone have any research that needs doing?
