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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Is it weird that my first thought after reading what ita whitefonted was "I wonder if they got scury"?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Speaking of exposing your nerdself -- I noticed that my sister sees people and thinks "Are they HIV positive? Are they educated about AIDS?" and I think "Do they have broadband? Are they carrying a weapon? Would they benefit from document management?"

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think. Can I avoid eye contact with them? And escape engaging them in anyway? Does he have a ring on his finger?
The problem is I think the questions in that order.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Looking for a knife seems to break the flow a good throwdown unless you're in the kitchen.
In my Social Deviance class in college we learned that in cases of domestic violence when a man killed a woman it was most likely to occur in the bedroom and when a woman killed a man it was most likely to occur in the kitchen.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm guessing that's just context, ita. Or did you really go around Kenya pumping document management?

I didn't pump it, but I did think it, every time we were in an office with computers.

I know a law firm in need of document management.

I've done content management for law firms, and I don't think I have the patience to do it again.
One firm, after a characteristically stressful installation (law-firm characteristic -- no one likes to have their line of business systems interrupted, but if you're not willing to pay OT, it will have to be done during the day -- there was just so much contempt coming from most of the lawyers) the system was used until a partner shuffle. The partner whose idea it had all been left, and the rest of them tried to force our company to take it back. Said they'd go to court if they had to. My boss said "No problem. We'll take it all back. The restocking fee is 100% of the software and hardware costs, and of course the labour charges are non-refundable."
They ended up going with it, with the caveat that my boss was not allowed on the premises again.
