And then I just had a conversation that made it clear that an email I sent yesterday was never read, so no WONDER my question in it has yet to be answered. I swear.
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I need an egg roll. Acquiring an egg roll is very important to my happiness.

Um, is it likely you'll be able to get an egg roll? Soonish?
I would be so psyched if I had ANY FREAKING CLUE what was going on right now.

Always Anti-fascist!
I find that to be true a lot, too, Shrift.

I'm planning on calling for take away in a minute. And if they forget my egg roll this time, I am driving back to get it, because I'm doing a whole bunch of nothing at work today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I find it weird when an e-mail of mine is opened, but on follow-up the recipient seems startled when I refer to its content.
What took the cake was me referring to an IM conversation in which the recipient had replied in agreement to something I'd said, and a few hours later denied every being given that information. Until I reminded him of instant messaging.
I'm always so embarassed to be corrected on something like that. It surprises me that other people aren't.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Your workplace sounds kind of poisonous when people consistently force you to prove that you're actually telling the truth.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I find it very bizarre, and oddly pervasive. I mean, I work with a lot of people...we're a huge company, and my department can provide service to any of the tens of thousands.
I think there's an overabundance of e-mail that contributes to it. Often stuff just doesn't get read. But I'm at risk of being put on detail detail, so that they don't fall through the cracks.
Me? I'm so detail-impaired! Just more paranoid than everyone else, it seems. And I don't think other people should be taken off the hook, either. I'm on it, everyone should be too.

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

This is me, a lot of the time -- I mean, people! I am only as picky and obsessive as I am because I lose my shit otherwise! Do not look to me as the one likely to have kept track of stuff!

Seriously. The fuck is wrong with people?
I finally had my meeting! And now I go home!
