I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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?!?

Substitute "test" for "document", "review techinical specifications" for "take screenshots", and "GUI" for "color scheme" and welcome to my world for the last 4+ years.

I do now.

I just had an awesome work moment, where my boss walked over to ask me to print something out, and it was already sitting in my printer, with the changes he was about to ask for. I think that's pretty much my accomplishment for the day.
