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

Good god, ita. For real? I hope you can set them down, nice and hard, because that is so unprofessional.

His boss sent me a note this morning. It was about reporting any resistance on his employees' parts. Work-avoider does not know this.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
msbelle, you can find them at the (online) Apple store if you scroll way down to the "refurbished" link. But basically, yeah -- whenever they do a new model, that becomes the iPod, and not one of several.
(edit: x-post toasties!)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
yeah I don't want a refurbished. And the stuff on ebay is often going for more than the new stuff (particularly minis).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You know what's not a cute way to deal with your project manager? "Well, if you know so much about it, why don't you write it?"
Interesting. Did you grit your teeth and say, "Because it's not. my. job."??

Well, that's somewhat satisfying. Though a slap at the idiot's head and a "grovel before me, peon" might have been more fun, it is a bit less professional.

I took some DayQuil, which is making me breathe easier, but is also making me somewhat dopey, I think. Hmph.

I told the avoider himself that I'd make sure someone got him the information he was missing, and that the document was still due by end of business today.
I skipped over the bit where the information was not missing, just that his co-worker that was out sick hadn't told it to him, and he knew just as well as I did where to go find it. But it took me five minutes to have someone forward it to him, so the ball's back in his court.
And I can go on to my next guaranteed-stressful meeting, feeling sick as a dog.

Mmm.. DayQuil good.
I think I'm getting sick because I coughed twice today and a kid who sits in the front row of class if feverish. I can't afford to be sick. Sick is Teh Evil.
Also, I'm being confronted with 2 things that I don't like and it's generally stressful.
don't these people know I can't stress until after 2 weeks? Or at least until after I finish the damned paper on Dante?
