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

I love that interview, Jilli. You're so cool.

Vortex, I advise to stay away from the geek squad. They know not what they do (like, they probably don't know much more than you do about fixing computers and possibly less) and are corporately pressured to bilk as much as possible from customers.

Oh, that was clear when he started with the $199 advanced diagnostic. I knew I didn't need a diagnostic, I know what's wrong and what I did, it just needs to be repaired, and I don't have the disk. We're talking 15-20 minutes here.

I need the Nerd Herd.

eta: I knew in my heart that I shouldn't bother. But, I'm lazy and wanted it to be easy.

That interview is great! And Barry is as cute as a button! Whyfore is he so skinny now? Is it the stress or just age?

Argh, meara. I've said it elsewhere, but let me know if there's anything I can do to help. The local Goth jobhunting network is pretty damn impressive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love that interview, Jilli. You're so cool.

Ditto, ditto.

YOU GUYS. I think I have done everything I need to do for my plethora of deadlines today. There are some ends to tie up, but other people are taking care of them, I think. Seriously, six different not-insignificant things all due today. Now I can move onto the several more due by next Wednesday.

It was a lot of fun. The girl who interviewed me was a Burning Man/rave freak with pink hair, so we bonded over being out-and-proud freaks at the company.

After reading that interview, I feel like I'd be too boring to work at Microsoft.

Not true, not true! You should come here!

... and with that, I now run off to a doctor's appointment.
