Guess what! I HAVE A DOOR! My office actually has a door,now that opens and closes like anything. The door guys just left after a long, loud morning of pounding and drilling and other building-type noises and I am very pleased.

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

I mean, it seems like a lot of what I do that's 'intelligent' is data analysis and pattern recognition.

Just make sure the word 'intuition' is in your job description somewhere, and those nasty bitbuckets can never take your place.

For now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Woo hoo! I forgot until last week how much it sucks sitting all out in the open.

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

There are SIX Roombas?? My god, how are you supposed to choose?

msbelle and Kat'd want a pink one!

Though I'm kinda afraid what the Kat's dogs would do to it.

You know, more and more I think that 'intuition' is just experience that you don't notice in the background.

But Malcolm Gladwell (in Blink) argues that what we think of as intuition is actually deeply ingrained and very fast-acting pattern recognition. (Do I have a written job description for "human"?)

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm getting stupider, Algernon!

I believe the scientific term for this is dumbening.

Us humans can never be replaced by robots, because robots will never have midichlorians.

Either Jesse IS Malcolm Gladwell, or she's just intuitive.

I have the vanishingly rare opportunity of being alone in my house for approximately the next half-hour. I can't think of the last time this happened. And what am I doing? The same thing I do at work all day. Sigh.
