Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh gawd - there's a new weird sex fetish site out there. I'm not even going to link to it. Instead I'm going to link to this blog post about it:
Introducing... EROTIC FALCONRY!!! (this link boarderline SFW, the actual site is NSFW.)
Erotic Falconry is disturbingly, wonderfully, real (we think... hope?). Their mission statement as stated on EroticFalconry.com: "Our goal is to show others what turns us on so that they can see the natural sexual ferocity of our feathered friends."
Since I didn't go to the actual site, dunno if it's "real" or not....

I am trying to keep my eyes from rolling out of my head and down the stairs.
I swear, there are people so afraid of change, they just make life ridiculous (and I'm saying this fully aware that I HATE CHANGE.) Me: "Hi, we changed steps because something broke. Instead of automation converting x to y, we make y instead and automation won't do anything." (Essentially taking a step OUT of the whole thing.)
Boss: We should wait to implement this until next cycle so it can be coordinated and make sure it works right.
Me:@@ It's already been done because it was.broken.the other way.
It doesn't sound like a big deal written out. But that's my boss.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
It doesn't sound like a big deal written out. But that's my boss.
No, I get it. Been there.
"If we do Z, things are more efficient and actually work, so I've been doing Z."
"But...shouldn't we wait to start doing Z until we get a feel if, maybe, possibly, somewhere along the line somebody may object to Z?"
"No, because doing it the old way, pre-Z, did. Not. Work."
"I just don't want to upset anyone with Z..."
Like, grow a pair, Boss! Sack up! Z works.
...
I am fucking grumpy today.

My boss just asked me to explain how the water cooler works. Like, why doesn't all the water come out?
Being a former engineer, I guess he was curious. Anyway, I explained it to him. Only a slightly annoying diversion from my work. (And depending on what I'm working on, such diversions might be welcome.)
edit for sense....
