Oy.
She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Either a power outage, or the Singularity is upon us. You concentrate enough geekery in one place....

Does anyone else go straight to A Brave, New World when thinking about the SOMA district?

Don't put all your servers in one....
Anyway. I was gonna say I hadn't heard of any kid who liked the snotsucker, but now I have! That's funny.
I hope the leftovers I'm eating are actually enough for dinner. Don't want to whip something else up and NPR has already reduced me to tears twice. And I can't remember what one story was.
All those times I mocked* my brother for his hungry grumpies? I'M SORRY OK!!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cute outage message (among others): [link]
Man, why did I have to get hit with that monster migraine all of a sudden? I was doing so well.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You know, there are some songs that Justin Timberlake just can't sell.
He needs to go back to bringing the sexy back.

heh. Nothing has been so egregious that I would ding them in a letter of rec., but they don't seem to believe that there are consequences for their actions (or inactions)
If it's a recurring pattern rather than single instances of slothitude, perhaps you could use the opportunity to give an object lesson in how habitual offender laws can result in consequences more severe than any single offense might merit?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
"Someone came in shitfaced drunk, got angry, went berserk, and fucked up a lot of stuff. There's an outage on 40 or so racks at minimum"
As explanations/excuses for service failures go, this is aces. As explanations/excuses for getting fired go, also aces.
Power outages aren't nearly as funny.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
This should go in Tech, but I need an answer (if I can get one) as quickly as I can.
What do I do if the display on the laptop has rotated 90 degrees?
