You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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.

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

And lo, today's migraine is here. Ah, well. They showed up for the conference call, and proceeded to not understand the point of the project we've been working on for six months.

This isn't why I write project charters, people. They're no use if no one reads them.

Damn, the highest ranked person characterised the exchange as hostile. I hope he meant his people were being hostile to me, because I was trying to keep it smooth. I really was. He also offered his resources as a mitigator, so I don't think he's mad at me.

It was infuriating, though, and the heart rate did its headache-inducing thing.

Next meeting in 15 minutes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

GWB still has a positive approval rating in Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming (sorta).

Anyone have good Foreman grill recipes?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay good test results.

I'm sure it'll start to get annoying soon, but I'm still sort of reeling in amusement from the surreality of the original that having it in my head doesn't bother me.

Granted, I haven't actually watched most of them, but as far as I can tell, doing it never gets old.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Yay, tommyrot!

Trudy, what happened with the office coworker?
