This weekend they need to shut off the power in my company's data center! Fun! Which means I come in 6:00am Saturday to power off all of our servers, and then come back at midnight that evening to power everything back on, and work through until early Sunday morning.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Thanks for all the well-wishes and cataloguing of all your own momentous events of the past half-decade; the heartbreaking ones make me want to run around hugging everyone all over again, but there are also tons and tons of good joyful occasions and achievements.
I'm so stressed out and harried by work that I keep forgetting that in a matter of weeks Bev will be on the same coast as us, and then I remember and it makes me happy all over again.
The wooden gift I had a sudden stroke of genius on turns out, on further research, to be completely impractical (living wood, of a sort that would delight the hell out of Hec but that would also promptly die a hideous death because we could not possibly live in a worse climate for this particular thing), but the gift I'd been considering when I thought we were at tin is not altogether unlike silverware, so we're still good.
I am so very happy for Aims and am now redirecting every ounce of no-cancer I've got in Jilli's direction.

Now tagless for your comfort.
He also goes on to talk about how liberals have launched a campaign against the Boy Scouts because they do not allow gay scoutmasters and actually says "Not all gay men are pedophiles, but most pedophiles are gay men. Just like not all Muslims are terrorists, but most terrorists are Muslims"
Tell me this person's name and address so I can go correct him with a clue by four.

What I've done in the past 5 years? Um. My sister got married. I quit my horrible job and moved to Chicago. I got a crappy job. Got laid off and found my totally awesome job at The Place With No Comma In Its Name. My brother got married. I became an aunt. I turned 30. I went to a crapload of concerts. Bought a lot of shoes.
