Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

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.

Wonder Bread will no longer be sold in Washington and Oregon come December.

Whoa.

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.

I have similar problems, though not with a server. There is one sure fire way to get fired around here. And I'm one of two people with the power to do it. FUN.

I actually got to work on a project that was mildly stimulating today. I rarely get that. Which tells me I really should be working for my division director (who handed me the project), not my boss.

Sigh.
