This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

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

What response do you think you'd get to "Why don't I just tell your replacements to do your jobs?"

It is one of those few times I regret managing projects at this stage in my career and not people. But I'd not fit in here as a people manager. As a project manager I just have to remember I will be startled.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Being hired and getting paid kind of implies "Do your job" does it not?

Someone buzzed my apt a little while ago claiming to be from Comcast. I asked who he was looking for (since I don't have cable). Once he learned I don't have cable he started in on some pitch which I cut off. Is Comcast really doing door-to-door sales? Or was this guy just trying to get in my building?

Apparently it depends where you work.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

comcast has done door to door sales in my area. However, not by accident, when a new service came out and they carried lots of marketing stuff.

personally, it sounds a bit fishy

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

In Soviet Russia, internet runs out of you!

A tribute I came across to Gary Gygax:

We should loot his corpse. It's what he would have wanted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
