Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I can't do it either, although maybe a little later this summer when I get a home computer...

Asking a Help Desk about the accuracy and reliability of their information is the customer service equivalent of, "Have you stopped beating your wife?"

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

Time for little man to learn to walk.

Be mobile old man, be mobile! Mommy needs a break. Can you get it worked on, kat?

Got shifted onto something new because I piped up about having space on my plate. Whoah. I mean, at least they admit it confuses them too, but still. I was looking for something on the more robotic side of things.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

My boss just asked me how feasible it is to do something that I already know is impossible. How long should I wait before I get back go him?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Is that before or after you bust out with the maniacal laughter, Tom?

...And I just got a follow-up email from someone else on Boss's cc: list asking for even more on top of what was already requested.

That's why you wait. Any chance of it growing bigger?

tell them that you are looking into it, but in the meantime you have a bridge to sell.

'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"

Tom, depends on how much you like him. I mean, if it were a boss I liked, I'd tell him right away, with explanations and pictures with arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one, so he could have more time to start working on a solution that was possible. But an asshat boss... well, it might take me a while to document just what was wrong.

My porch is done! And it's very spiffy! Now I can feel smug every time I enter or leave the damn house, and invite my friends over to jump up and down on it....
