What is even happening?

I think I'd go with "Okay, just wanted to make sure you knew." He's not going to efficiently give you the time, anyway, so you might as well conclude the exchange and ask someone else. Who might answer civilly, and then you could thank them civilly, and there you go.

I think I'd be tempted to ask him every five or ten minutes, and every time he said, "Yes," I'd respond, "I'm so proud of you!" in that overly cheery voice some people use on toddlers.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Liese, I have recently discovered the show and am working my way through it using ahem, certain means. Getting toward the end now, though.

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

I was your chatty co-worker, Steph, but university, where I got a big rotation of exposure to people, few of whom had time or inclination to get used to my literalist and sophist quirks made me drop it.

The knowledge that you guys can never be as streamlined and logical as I always am is just something I'll have to savour smugly but internally. Externally I play your little games because I'm that good.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Many of my co-workers might be categorized as "Super-Agreeable" but it's a cultural difference rather than a personality disorder -- British-businesslike and American-businesslike are two very different critters.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ah. Okay. It is a long-held love. It is a bond between the SO & I, because he loves the mysteries and I love the Creek. I must have missed the sidecar, though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Feral girl found in Cambodia

She was lost for 19 years and has completely regressed to an animal state. Since she was lost when she was 8 then she would've developed language and they might be able to re-socialize her. If they go feral before they develop language then the brain cannot be rewired.

Liese, of course you love the Creek! What's not to love? There is everything to love. The sidecar was a very brief bit, but I'm easily amused.

I appreciate that you make me toe the logical streamline in my arguments, Spock ita.

Let me reiterate my love for feralchildren.com.

Got lots of job search related stuff done this morning so far, which makes me feel better for ditching krav.

Hec! UI expert! And I don't mean interface. I got a form to fill out to prove I've been jobhunting. It asks me what person I got in touch with for each attempt. How do you cover web applications where you're filling out a form or sending an email to a faceless mailbox?
