You know what's weird to have said to you upon entering the restroom? "Long time!"
Just weird. Especially with a smile.
Okay, my face still fucking hurts. Can I go home?
Gimme some milk.

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

I think I've decided not to go to Yoga tonight on the basis that I can't keep track of what I went downstairs for by the time I reach the bottom of the stairs. While this is a fine state of mindlessness, really it would be good to have a little more on the ball when I go.
In an unrelated matter, at work they've changed the name of the Help Desk to the Service Desk. Like, maybe if you make that change, the people asking for help won't be able to find you....

Happy Birthday, quester.
So, so happy not to be trapped on The Conference Call That Wouldn't Die (as my other two production co-workers are). It's been going strong for 5 hours now. I'm about to set the answering machine and leave them to it. Hopefully they will have a chance to get away from the call before I return tomorrow morning.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I do customer support for books.
Okay, the image this gave me is hysterical:
Caller: "I can't open the book! The cover is stuck!!!"
Spidra: "Okay, sir, you're looking at the spine of the book. Flip it over, and then open the front cover."
Caller: "But the cover is stuck!!!"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
You laugh, Tep, but in my bookstore-slave years, I had any number of customers try to return books because they were upside-down. Occasionally, they had trouble believing that flipping the dust jacket which had been put on wrong had actually fixed the problem.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Occasionally, they had trouble believing that flipping the dust jacket which had been put on wrong had actually fixed the problem.
The most baffling part is that these people somehow managed to learn to read.

I'm getting the pig!

That's quite possibly one of the saddest things I've ever read. I had no idea that people could be so stupid. Wow.

This. So very much.
Happy Birthday, quester!
