Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Oy. Work has really ramped up, leading to little 8-5 Buffista time.

I kind of like when I'm busy, though, as it makes me feel like I'm useful.

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

tommy, for the good of everyone, start writing things down!

That's what the source code is for.

Well, I did write a guide on what to do if the server dies and everything has to be rebuilt.....

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

That's what the source code is for.

I...I think I hate you.

But of course your source code is totally thoroughly documented, right?

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

I think documentation exists on our software, but no one gave it to anyone who actually has to use it. When they rolled out the new workflow management software 2 years ago? They gave us a 30-minute training session and no instruction manual. We were *lost*. On a fucking island with a smoking monster. It was epic.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I swear, ita, it seems like you work at my company doing my job. I can't prioritize if no one shows to tell me the effort and implications.

Also, the day before the push and I can't find my developers? Not on.

Our wings are not tired

I will just be happy to get back home to Los Angeles for a couple of weeks. This winter/spring has involved altogether too much time away from my beautiful wife and wonderful home.

Yep. Stuff that's weird and not obvious, anyway.

My boss's stored procedures, OTOH....

But it's really up to the client. They could pay us for us to do documentation, but they prefer to hire someone to come hang out with us and do it. But then, they're having my other boss do documentation for the big program he developed and maintains, so I don't really understand their logic.

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

But you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife." And you may tell yourself, "This is not my wonderful home."

Just the other day, I said to myself, "Where is that large automobile?"

Ok, have some thunder. Not really mollified.
