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.

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!

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.

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.

Dear Spammers:

In order to get past my spam filters, you have to obfuscate the name of whatever you're selling so much that I have no idea what you're peddling. What the hell is MnEridia?

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

MnEridia?

Meridian. But I don't know what that is. It just makes sense.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A lifetime sentence of babelfished VCR-programming documentation?

Wait. I have that. Am I being punished for something I don't even remember doing?!?

Meridia (no N) is a wieght-loss drug.
