I looked around my empty, large server room, and simply said, "I like it."
God, that sounds nice. At least you have something to compensate for the insane amounts of work.

Past is catching up with you, eh Megan?
Shut up you!
I thought billytea might be a good contact for this question. Maybe I should just email him. Hmmm....

I think it's like 4 a.m. Antipodean time--he may not be up for a few hours yet.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
It's been a while since we've done one of these (and msbelle isn't here).
Tell me something that's made you smile recently.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cindy, I haven't had hormones checked in a few years. I hope it's not...well, I don't want any more tests, but I do want this to stop.
Last thing that made me smile, Perkins, was a co-worker giving me the go-ahead to log into the server and poke into the application software myself. Because "ita was the first here with Product X. She knows what she's doing." I needed that after this morning.

What is even happening?
I do want this to stopYeah. It's a wonder you're not completely depressed all of the time (I understand your distinction--that these particular headaches bring on a particularly soul-sucking depressive episode, I just mean in general, it's a wonder).

Let's just say that the inside of my head is not a pretty place to visit these days, but I'm pretty controlled (in discrete bursts) about managing the outside world.
Fucking exhausting, and I wish I were introverted enough to become a hermit.
I have just been informed that this might also be a migraine -- so I'ma hit up the triptans just in case.

Well, I do share it with my boss, but we're separated by half a wall, several large cabinets holding digital tapes, and all sound is muffled by server white noise. And he's not here half the time. But I totally prefer to be barricaded in here with my computers to being out in the open.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yes! Email me.
In Australia, pardons are granted by the Governor-General by the authority granted by the Queen. Requests for pardon are put to the G-G by the Minister for Justice and Customs, so this would be the Dept. to which you would apply, I would think. (The G-G is a bit of a rubber stamp here; it's really the Minister you'd need to convince.) Note that a pardon does not equal an acquittal or quashing of the conviction; though under Australian law, it means you are not required to disclose the conviction. A pardon is generally only recommended to the G-G where the Minister is satisfied the person is morally and technically innocent of the crime in question and has no more avenues of appeal. I'm not sure if that's exactly what you're looking for there.
I can check this with my dad too if you like.

Yay for co-workers smart enough to see the obvious.
I think the migraine meds are a good idea, ita.
