I'm telling you, they'll wish they had trampolines set up all around the base of shrift's building the day she hands in her notice.
I'm no fan of melodrama in my day-to-day life, but some rending of garments would be satisfying.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks, Teppy. I'm really curious to know what an increased craving for sweets will feel like, assuming by sweets they mean dessert-like stuff. If it means candy I will gross myself out.
I mean, should I get that side effect in the lottery.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Allyson, I've got a 14th edition you can have. (The current edition is 15).
[edit: the 14th edition is old enough that they don't talk about the Internet in it much, though]

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't see it in this FAQ, Allyson, but maybe there's something here: [link]

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
Thanks, Jesse!
I think I better buy one. Thank you Tom. Most of my concern is net cites.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Timelies,
Finally caught up. While trying to catch up, at one point the screen refreshed itself for seemingly no apparent reason. Then a page or so later Jesse was blinvisible. Whoops. Fixed now.
So they've decided to advance the time table. I start the help desk full time tomorrow. Joy. There's still a ton of stuff up in the air, it's a chaotic mess, and it feels like we're getting forced into this as a way for the CIO to have something to point at and go "Look what I did" rather than because we're anything resembling ready for it. Also, my new hours are going to be 9am to 6pm. So, yay an extra hour of sleep. Boo to having to stay until 6pm, particularly on Fridays.
Also, I have 12 tickets still in my queue, at least half of which are going to be impossible to finish while chained to a desk. I was really counting on having the rest of the week to complete them. Ugh.
