Emily -- go out!

Difficult, as I'm at work. Appropriate place for looking professional, I suppose, but it's totally wasted on them! They've already got me, and I'm leaving anyway!

Me: This is how you make a request for files.
Client: But I don't have the time to do that!
Me: And this is my problem... how, exactly?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Isn't this the kind of thing that started the Reformation, back in the day?

My actual reaction went something like this:

AND YOU THINK *I* HAVE TIME TO DO IT *FOR* YOU, FUCKOS?!?!?!

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

Wasn't part of it Luther's desire to make the Bible available in languages that most people actually spoke, so they wouldn't have to depend on priests for bible stuff?
