I actually enjoy letting my brain "recognise" things. I don't know how to explain it, but I sort of delay paying proper attention, and let my brain guess at what it's seeing (or sometimes hearing). It's quite fascinating at times to compare that to reality.

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

I've seen quite a few ghost shows on TV where there is somebody who talks about seeing a figure out of the corner of their eye and state that it's a ghost or they are crazy and I just want to reach through the TV and tell them "No, it's normal, it's the way your brain works!".

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

As long as you don't get too pareidolish on us.
OTOH, maybe that would be fun....

shrift, you have a soul now. Unsucked. The rest will happen.
It would be nice if they'd give me an interview before turning me down flat. You know, once a month, at least.
Ack shrift, I'm sorry the job situation is not going well.
I think I need to rewrite my resume. And keep broadening my job search. And apparently go back to school for a Computer Science degree.

I probably applied for a hundred or so jobs before I got the one I did. I got three interviews in three months, and was offered two. I'm so glad I didn't take the first one.

I am linking to this Wonkette entry just because it has a picture of a monkey with a gun: [link]
Although that gun might be too big for that monkey. Also, someone train that monkey how to hold a gun properly - he could get hurt when the shell casing ejects if he fires it like that....

Well, that makes me feel slightly better, but not by much, since you're a hell of a lot more qualified than I am at just about everything.

What is even happening?
Oh shrift, I wish you much better luck.

Dammit, I want somebody to give shrift a job immediately.
Happiest birthday, Sophia. I hope you get something delicious and treatful.
Belated happy birthday to Sue. It sounds like you did your birthday right.
Yep, Emmett's going to be ten. Every ten years or so I seem to have a child.
