Luckily, that gave me a rage blackout, so now I can't remember what it was anymore.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Unrelatedly, another tacky C&H bootleg sticker.
Fuck.
Did these people never read C&H?

What is even happening?
Why people gotta be messin' with Calvin? Why? WHY? WHY?

I'm going to choose to believe that I hallucinated that. It doesn't really exist.

There's an incentive.
But I haven't actually mentioned cats yet, have I? Mine is a stealth love.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Next they'll probably have one where Calvin is watching Hobbs being decapitated on TV .

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Luckily the phones have been pretty dead today. However, I just got a call and it was the kind of problem where if it wasn’t a simple mistake, it’d have to be escalated. And the dude I escalate to is on vacation. The customer is getting an error when he tries to open one of the lesson files. I asked him if he had copied the file to his hard drive or whether he was trying to open it directly off the DVD-ROM. He said the latter. I asked him to copy the file to his hard drive and open the copy. He said “You’ll hang on the phone while I do that, right?” I said I would. So I’m waiting and he says “You know, they never said anything about this in the book” I replied “I think they said it in the ‘Getting Started’ chapter before Chapter 1.” All the time I think he’s copying the file to his hard drive and I’m wondering why it’s taking so long. Then he says “You’re right. It does say that.” HE’D BEEN FLIPPING THROUGH HIS BOOK TRYING TO PROVE ME WRONG instead of copying the file to the hard drive and opening it to see if that solved things.
Tool.

That sucks, Spidra. What is it with people like that? Is it so terrible to admit to someone that you're human and that occasionally you make mistakes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cheerierly (if not a word, please see erinaceous for its immediate wordification) I just saw this PDF for the first time. If you have people at your office who won't make the coffee--well, this mightn't help them make it, but might take the edge off your irritation when you show up to two empty pots baking.

It could even have been our mistake, but it doesn't solve his problem to keep me waiting on the phone longer to try to prove me wrong. Doing the troubleshooting step I was prompting him to do would have gotten him closer.
Thank god the phone traffic is slow. I've been doing this job for 2.75 years and am really a bit burned on at least the phone aspect of the job. I don't let things roll off my back easily enough and stress has quite physical manifestations for me.
How're the eyes today, tommyrot? The 'roid rage?
