Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

In the decade+ I've been here, we've closed for brown-outs, a hurricane and a couple of HUGE snowfalls, like the Presidents' day one. And 9/11, they sent everyone home, most likely figuring out no one was doing any work anywho.

I think we concluded it was something around playing with them in the tub and being a little boy again? But I don't know that that was based on anything but being the least cringe-making (not to mention physically plausible) option we could come up with.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In my mind it's a fetish for women -- a vibrator/play thing. But again, could be totally made up in my head! (Because I do not share the fetish, assuming it is real.)

Well, that's no more outlandish, I guess. Wait, is outlandish a plus or minus here?

Either way, not solved.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

They seem to be doing...uh...something with a jib?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

So you're telling me they're getting jibby with it?

Yup.

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

Now I have a job in front of me I can't apply for because it wants the start and end dates of all the projects I've worked on. I have no idea. I've worked on tens of projects. No one told me to take notes. Why can't they just look at my resume for the basics?

I'd just ballpark it and explain when you get to that point.
