Dear Head of Engineering,

Please do not ever again schedule a 8 day test window over the Thanksgiving holiday, especially after a layoff, when you have laid off one of the key testers. Few people are up to speed and they are coming to me in a panic (because oddly, I seem to have become the institutional memory on this part) and when they find out I'm going to be gone all 8 of the 8 test days...well, I almost made someone cry, I think.

Thanks,

Me and your testers.

shrift, have pie.

Joy.

A woman who apparently thinks her home is possessed by the devil has shut her family inside, holding police at bay.

Life in the big city.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I am so bored. I don't have anything to do. Or that I want to do.

Want to make people cry?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

shrift, you should both to go the doctor, and have pie. Not a whole pie, just some pie.

I still have never gotten a Valentine from a boyfriend, though. Woe.

I have done a bunch of work today, which is good, I guess.

You'd think she'd want to get her family out of the house possessed by the devil, wouldn't you?

Maybe she doesn't like her family very much.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I think I'm going to Wallace and Gromit this afternoon. Whee!

Oh and Plei I wanted to warn you that every time Franny threw up when she was at this age (under a year), she was getting sick. So look after that wee peep of yours.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I received two love letters in college, both from women. (Women were the only people in my college.) They were that kind of "To avoid total awkwardness, if you are not interested, just never speak of it again and I shall have my signal and slay myself at dawn on the equinox. Otherwise, wear a carnation in your hair, and I will dance the hootchie-cootchie before you in all my splendor."

We were strange folk.

In other news, it's going to be really truly winter tonight when I leave work. Wah.
