You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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

In my job I have to be the customer-facing person who owns up to my mistakes, or the mistakes of others on my team. It's been that way for at least a decade.

I think I'm pretty good at it, really.

No, the customer's not always right. But, man, there's still a lot of room there to work with them.

I'm a lowly peon.

Well, today.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Well, don't sell yourself short and all that.

Hi, have you met sara?

Sara who is awesome and smart and cute and totally fun to be with and a real life grown-up and responsible and like doubts all those things all the time.

oh wait, it was ita who hated compliments. damn.

You guys are sweet. I really need to sit down and figure out what next. I've been avoiding that. Reality is I've been in an easy dead end job for 9 (fucking) years. I don't have a lot of ambition, really. Things always came easy, and I got used to that while being the Star. But reality, she does a fine job of equalizing. I've had dreams and slowly smushed them. Which is distressing, but whatever. No hairpats, I've done it myself.

No, the customer's not always right.

But the trick is making them feel at least partly right. Or at least don't tell them they are fucking out of their minds.

OK, I may have jury duty in a month, but at least it is likely I won't get the kid murder retrial. Uhg.

msbelle, I'm like ita in that. So you weren't ALL wrong.

Triplicate!

I promise myself I'd go to bed early, so I think I shall (for me.) We'll see if it works!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Night!

I am somewhat calmer now. Which is good.

Eureka's coming on in under two weeks! Set your TiVos now. And it's like a Fiesta de Ferguson, a Cavalcade of Colin, because on the Saturday beforehand you can catch him in his first teeny TV role, in Night Sins, and also in a much larger role as the protagonist in Ladies Night. Which also stars Starsky.

Hmm. I need to know if it's airing in Canada...

Every once in a while, I think that maybe I'm wrong, that maybe this time I'll like cherries.

Never happens though.

hip deep in pie

ita, I think Space is showing Eureka up here, but I don't know if it's going to coincide with the US showings. I think BSG is usually a month behind.

Eureka has now been added to my tivo to do list.

Sadly, that's probably the most exciting thing I did this evening.
