Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Pagination: I am paginating a 180 page journal, right now, and it ain't FG. However, I haven't fucked it up (yet).

I have started to put bullet points in my emails, because it's the only way I can get people to address all my questions/concerns. There's one woman who still won't respond to anything but the first point. I have to send her separate emails for each thing I want to know.

I wore my hair in pigtails a lot in middle school. It was cute. Is there a special word for braided pigtails like NCIS Abby wears?

Okay weird. I think I'm going to buy this [link] knife as a gift for K. Nothing says lets have a picnic like a knife!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A knife with a corkscrew!

I have bought and made a bunch of things that would make an excellent salad over the past few days. Too bad I have' been home for dinner, and don't feel like it tonight. I think I'll have to bring some for lunch tomorrow.

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

My workplace.

I am still catching up on the PM score. I don't feel as bad as I could, because how in hell was I supposed to know? The emails contradict each other! Developer won't answer all my questions at once! I wake up in the middle of the night thinking of these questions too. It's nerve-wracking.

I think that's lovely. Be my girlfriend? Or at least just my gift-giver?

My sister is getting me a knife for Christmas. I'm so excited. Thai knife.

Zenkitty's system is the one I use. Sometimes I include what I think I know too.

Everyone should keep a picnic knife in their car. Just in case is all I'm saying.

My life is filled with things like looking up portable nebulizers and asking my doctor for a letter saying we qualify for medical pricing for the Vitamix Blender.

I have a NRA pocket knife?

I also bought another tower fan at target. Such a good idea.

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

Also, I can't believe what we don't have documented. Yikes. It's just living in one guy's head.

How our biggest client's timesheet system works pretty much lives in one guy's head, who happens to be me.

They finally figured this out and are hiring someone to document it. They figure it'll take a year....

The other thing I've learned? Don't provide too much information. Don't explain or give the background. Counter-intuitive, I know, but people who won't read the whole goddamn email will invariably get lost in too much information and default to, again, responding only to the first question they see. Corollary: put the most important thing first. I learned that from my sister.
