You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Natter 47: My Brilliance Is Wasted On You People  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Gronklies!

I worked til past seven, and was so tired of looking at computer screens that I watched some SciFi and went straight to bed. So the last 18+ hours of Natter will be forever a closed book to me. And inasmuch as there's work ahead for me today, there's more likelihood I'll be skipping again.

It's our Go-Live weekend -- for which we've been preparing (by my count) for two years actively, and three years if you count all the planning that was carefully done and then thrown out by new management who decided to use cheap offshore developers....

Not that I'm bitter or anything. The non-bitterness is also helped by the knowledge that the above New Management have all left before the project was done and we seem to have more savvy ones again. Who got handed a royal mess.

Okay, definitely bitter. But actually kind of eager to get this damn weekend over with.

Anne W: yes, for me. You are so Not Alone. And I didn't even get on for like the last 18 hours, so my need is Dire.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I just came in here to ask that! I can't remember the livejournal emergency site, either. It's not .info or .net. Maybe .org?

I got a message earlier that there was a "power implosion" and they were working to restore service.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

It doesn't sound dire (unless, of course, one is jonesing for a fix)

Huh. I wonder what qualifies as a power "implosion."

I thought Doogie had been out for a while. I guess I do read too much Gawker.
