No, I don't have IM at work, and I'm at the dentist right now. I'll text you as soon as I'm finished here.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Thanks!
Commute and benefits are comparable. Plus, it's my boss who just retired to run his wife's company (she's been wanting to try something new) so I already know what I'm getting into. So it's nice all around that he liked my work enough to offer me the job before anyone else.
And they're all really supportive of the book and writing.
I expect like any other job, it will make me insane sometimes, but it will be compensated with 28% more insanity buffers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I protest the idea that there's something about political conservatism that makes commentators hacky or unprincipled
I don't believe that, and I didn't mean to imply it. I just don't know of any principled ones. Most conservative blogs I've seen seem quite willing to continue to further Administration talking points that have been demonstrated to be false. Maybe I'm only reading the bad ones because outraged liberal blogs link to them.

Hah! Vindiciation for messy desks
Unsurprisingly, the head of the national organizers association disputes the claims hotly.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I just realized that I have not been at a company for more than 2.5 years. EVER!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I expect like any other job, it will make me insane sometimes, but it will be compensated with 28% more insanity buffers.
I have to say, that's totally true IME. My current job pays way more than I've ever made before, and it still makes me insane (as you all know!), but at least I'm not also angry about my paycheck.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
People with phone phobia:
Do you get excited when you call someone and reach voice mail, or do you feel it just prolongs the whole experience? (My reaction to voice mail is usually "SCORE!")

At first, I read this like, "Holy ass," was his nickname, rather than just an exclamation of surprise.
Not a nickname in this case. But there is one sysadmin with whom I dread communicating, and I think he wholly deserves the Holy Ass moniker.

Announcement: I am now leaving for a vacation! I won't go to work again until Tuesday!!
Analysis: It is a little frightening how much a mere 4 days off, two of them weekend days, is pleasing me.

'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"
I've now been at my job for just over ten years, in fact. It sure doesn't seem like that long....
