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

Punishingly Intricate

lisa, the last thing I have from you is from about 10:30 or so, querying on whether to take the lightrail (which I haven't replied to, but yeah, that's probably the best plan.)

oh, okay, good! I also mentioned the aquarium in it.

Happy Birthday Juliana!

A co-worker is exclaiming very loudly that she wants to work from home twice a month so she can better search for jobs during the work day.

In what kind of company does this announcement NOT result in the co-worker getting 8 hours a day of extra free time to look for a job?

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

One in which her boss went on vacation yesterday.

I do wish her all the best luck on her job search, because it's really no fun sitting next to her, but some of us would like to work from home for other reasons, and she just validates managerial hesitance. Of course she also copped to job-hunting from work, so maybe she just needs her internet access yanked. Or at least to complain about it all much more quietly.

The helpdesk software is replacing the email of the original sender with mine. For every request since yesterday. And I didn't do anything.

I guess it computerly decided I should be the source of all user problems.

So would that be the earliest instance of the women-in-refrigerators motif?

Can someone please rewrite my resume with a product manager angle? I have the experience, I'm just tired at the thought of redoing the damned thing.

I want a t-shirt of this Kerfuffle Bunny [link] with a caption that says Christ's blood will fuck you up!

If you want me to ship this box on our account, I really need a more concrete address than "to the Europeans."
