Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Ah, but Vortex, this one doesn't have numbers, either, but is still more along the lines of what I'm looking for wrt Delay.

true, true.

I doubt he'd have such a big smile for an actual mug shot.

he also knows that his ass will be on the smoking gun as soon as it's filed.

Okay, that's a picture I don't want to see.

He better hope he doesn't have a public perp walk or you know it will end up on TDS.

Man, that would be sweet.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I just realized that I haven't eaten anything other than Pims today. Perhaps I should go scavenge.

I'm on hold during a conference call, and instead of Musak, I'm getting ads.

From the thumping, I was worried that IDIOT MAN had said something particularly idiotic.

The Bush administration sure is giving TDS a lot of material lately. That exchange with the troops was just embarassing.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

From the thumping, I was worried that IDIOT MAN had said something particularly idiotic.

Heh. No, Idiot Man has not responded to my e-mail. The thumping was because of the two things I still need to document, neither is working. You think this might be something that we would check on before we had a conference call with a hapless tech writer, but apparently not.

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

This is a brilliant marketing idea (and this a brilliant coopting of it). But those aren't pixels. I'm offended.

Hmm. Do I work more on the project charter? Do I stalk the guy who hasn't responded to my meeting invite? Do I work on this week's project status report? Do I circumvent the account manager and grill the potential users directly?

I have so many choices.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Do I stalk the guy who hasn't responded to my meeting invite?

Heh. I read this as "Do I stake the guy...." and considered it a feasible course of action for ita.
