How does someone become a programmer writer and NOT know the difference between effect and affect?
I... am sometimes confused about which goes where. Or at least, I mindfuck that I am. You know what I do then? Re-write the damned sentence.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I really should do my time breakdown before leaving work. Eh, I'll do it on Monday morning.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am having an exciting Friday night where I just cleaned out my fridge.
I did that Tuesday. Scrubbing Bubbles and then 409 Glass/Surface Cleaner.
I had a life last weekend. That'll have to suffice.

OMG, we switched over to SAP a year ago, and it's still a nightmare.
So far, I haven't heard from anybody, anywhere (excepting some VIP managers, who don't have to actually work with it in any meaningful way except to get reports) who thinks it's a good idea.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I did that Tuesday.
I got the husband to do it. Who knew he'd turn out to be useful?

I do not know what SAP is, but PeopleSoft bites, and I hardly use it. It got so bad at my Uni that the faculty senate actually invited the administrative assistants who had to use Peoplesoft to input time for everyone in their department to a faculty senate meeting to talk about it, and then reported the findings to the president. Who didn't seem to care, because they could eliminate people n Payroll. Except now their are people in departments whose entire job is Peoplesoft.

I just used bleach and water. At one point, I looked up and saw Clio about to stick her face in the bleach water and stood up quickly to shoo her away and totally whacked my head on the freezer door handle. I was totally expecting blood.

Memo to self: look for one that cleans.

Believe me, he didn't advertise it.

One thing I've noticed is that VPs just love playing shell games with the payroll for various departments. So you can claim a great savings by eliminating staff in the Payroll department, but offshift the real cost into every single other department by eventually adding to need personnel to do the tasks they were doing....
Today I'm just full of despising and cynical ire.

I used to know the difference automatically, but I've seen it wrong so much online that now I have to stop and think, "cause and... effect."
So, Behr's not only has a color-picker decorating tool, but since the last time I looked they started selling samples online. And with 4 you get itty bitty rollers and paint trays, wooja wooja. Shipping is exorbitant, but on the other hand I don't have to go to Home Depot on a weekend. Whee, paint.
