I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

I'm sure everyone will be pleased to learn that I am, in fact, NOT having cheese for lunch.

Of course, I'm not sure what I'm having, as I seem to have left my snacks lying on the floor of my livingroom, where they fell when I tossed them into my bag, but missed.

And then later picked up the bag with them lying right there in plain sight.

I hope I have some cash.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Somewhere I aquired a Donny Osmond doll, and the best part was that it came with a little purple satin dickey. Even when I was seven I knew there was something not right about that.

Oatmeal. On. Monitor!

Today may be the day where I die of boredom.

Today may be the day where I finally spork a client who tells me that they're "on a really tight deadline." Oh, really? Then maybe you should have requested this stuff a little earlier, jackass!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, I have full expectations that the next two weeks will be the weeks in which I finally exact the tech writer's revenge.

This has been my week. I keep getting these annoying little things to QA that need to be "done yesterday". Funny how you've known this was coming up since, well, last year (when this was done before), but you put in the request for the changes on Monday.

No, wait, not funny. Hulk!SMASH inducing.

Isn't that known as "a user's guide"?

Oh, yeah, you better run.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Oh, yeah, you better run.

What is the appropriate punishment for that, anyway? A lifetime sentence of babelfished VCR-programming documentation?

I think he should be forced to document a system without a working model, without any ability to take screenshots, and with people popping up every three days to say, "Oh, yeah, we're changing the color scheme. Did we not tell you? You can have this done tomorrow, right?"

No, wait, that's my punishment.
