I am looking askance at the word 'pretends'.
possible I have too much time on my hands today.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
When Gary (of Gary and Dancer!Nicole) was a Wall Street wheeler dealer, all of his lunches were either business events or something you woofed at your desk.
Those of us with low-key jobs still eat at our desks, but we do take the ten minutes to go get it....

“Not dead yet!”
You'll probably need to get a new outfit to go with those.
Boots at the very least.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
One of our servers at work just crashed with a "PCI streaming byte hole error".
Heh. Next time a computer crosses me, I'll have to threaten to tear it a new byte hole.

Kat - I play the straight man to IT comments all day long, mostly they are said softly so only my cube neighbor even hears them. It's amazing how many IT conversations lend themselves to straight man mock-dismay or Beavis comments of "huh huh you said mount".

the old RV.
Old as in "there's also a new one" or as in "scary rust bucket"?

That's going to leave a scar.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"PCI streaming byte hole error".
I can see Lee Ermey screaming this into Vincent D'onofrio's face: "What is your damage son? Do you have a streaming byte hole error in your skull?"

It is a bit rusty, but it looks serviceable.

I'm already wearing what my nephew dubbed my witch shoes (they are just very pointy and black and high.)

No kidding. Sometimes I feel like the only one in our group who realizes how wrong certain things sound and I don't want some of these people know blue I can be.
Though my all time favorite report wasn't even filthy sounding. I just got to explain we were down because "a wheel fell off." I don't get to say that very often wrt computers.
