Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Can I just say how ridiculous it is that people keep asking me to work on things that will continue past the end of my contract, and which I don't think my successor has the experience to handle when I'm gone? RIDICULOUS.

Hey, maybe they'll keep you!

Why, oh why, did I try to engage civilly with the craxy people on the Internet?

Well, that's one of the things that we love, your relentless optimism.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, maybe they'll keep you!

Please no. I can't take them any more! Of course, if I don't get the job I'm currently hoping for, I'll be slightly screwed, but can cross that bridge when I get to it...

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

Congrats, Nora and Tom!

One of the business users I interact with told me that he'd give me a recommendation if I needed one for the contract-to-hire process. He was very adamant that he doesn't do that much. God, my fingers are crossed so tightly.

Because books.

Fingers crossed for both Jesse and ita. And for Tom's negotiations!

I need lunch. Surprisingly, or not, I want nothing with a condiment.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Now I want a black bean burger and sweet potato fries.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Congrats to Tom and Nora!

Also, that evil clown guy? What kind of parent hires an evil clown to scare their kids?!? Although I'm guessing it must be for tween or teen parties, right? That makes sense. No one in their right mind would hire a clown to terrify their toddler.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

yayyayayayayayayayayayay to Tom and Nora!!! That is so freaking exciting!!!

Crossed fingers for ita and Jesse.

Why, oh why, did I try to engage civilly with the craxy people on the Internet?

Oh, punkin, it's the teacher in you. You're trying to have a teachable moment with the craxies.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Now I want a black bean burger and sweet potato fries.

Now I do, too! And I don't know where I can get both in the same restaurant. First world problems, I can haz.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Yay for Nora and Tom!!!

And I finally got my taxes filed, which was an adventure simply due to the fact that I needed a PIN to file my Illinois taxes, and their online retrieval site is down "for maintenance" and their phone line was tied up for nearly 30 minutes before I could get through. That's what I get for waiting until the 15th to file, I guess!

Now I just have to transfer money into my checking account to cover the payments...
