Warning! Danger! Danger, Will Robinson!

I only wish. If they fired me, I could laugh my way to the unemployment office.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I need a hug.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

we're gonna have a disaster recovery guy here for three weeks, at the end of which we're going to have a 48 hour disaster recovery drill.

Three weeks from now sounds like the perfect time for a vacation. "Let me know how that whole drill thing works out, folks. I'll bring pictures back from Bermuda."

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

you spar with people all the time.

Never mind. I'm just not explaining myself well.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I get it, ita. And I had the same reaction to the heart soaps.

48 hour drill? Dude, even Jack Bauer sleeps after 24 hours.

See, I don't know when our disastrous guy is going to show up. I already had plans to be in California at the end of the month.

It'd probably look suspicious if I called in sick tomorrow. Bah.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I already had plans to be in California at the end of the month.

If they give you any shit, tell them you're on an errand of mercy for a poor crippled friend. Leave out the part about the road trip, the vids, and the drinking.
