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.

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.

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....

In terms of massage? Not right now as I have no money for extras. I think I'll shift to carrying him on the very sorry sore side in the hopes that holding him will shift the shoulder back into alignment.

Barring that, I'm going to urgent care for flexeril.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

As much as TWoP can annoy me, I'm loving their Jeopardy! thread. All of these contestants are showing up with great insight on their appearances. Larissa just delurked this afternoon, fully admitting how boneheaded at least one of her responses were yesterday.
