Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, Matt. That sucks.

Sophia your boss is full of fail.

I gave to Partners in Health because I am parochial, and they are based in Boston.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Bah, I tried to give blood, but the needle slipped out and made my blood all bubbly and contaminated. That's never happened before. I guess this is why they always use the right arm. I was trying for something different! Stupid left arm.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Oh Matt, I'm sorry.

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

Sophia, that's appalling. Tell your boss to go back and call the guy "articulate." That's about all that's missing.

Matt, so sorry.

Mandatory IT meeting this morning was about teamwork. New Guy missed it. IP VT defined stages of teamwork as

Forming--coming together of the team, characterised by optimism and seeking definition
Storming--conflict and powerplays as definition breaks down
Norming--searching for harmony through conflict avoidance, development of team vibes
Performing--peak productivity as the team vibe is in full play and people work slickly together

She says it happens with every team formation, and every time someone is added to an existing team. But I swear I didn't notice storming when I was added to the team, nor when the latest business analyst joined. We still haven't super-normed, but we've been quite productive since very early on.

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

Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing

That's just too... cute.

I'd add these:

Ignoring--team members don't talk to each other.
Goring--team members participate in the running of the bulls.
Boring--team members fall asleep during meetings.
Barnstorming--team members tour the country giving performances in antique biplanes.
