The Bush administration sure is giving TDS a lot of material lately. That exchange with the troops was just embarassing.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

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.

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.

I went with stalking. It worked out okay. Onto the next bit of my list...

No, Idiot Man has not responded to my e-mail.
Whereas the bane of my existence is still being baneful.

I just accidentally deleted my project file, so I bet you're ahead of me. The Recycle Bin: it's a good thing.

The best thing about working in the server room is that when I do something stupid, I have the power to fix it, and nobody will ever know.
The worst thing about working in the server room is that it embiggens the scale of stupid things I have the power to do.
