Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I forgot about a dentist appointment this afternoon. Frak.

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

m here with SpongeBob and Patrick.

Tell SpongeBob that the next time I see him, he better have that $20 he owes me.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

And tell Patrick to lay off the pot. Jeebus.

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

I just got some crap news about a cousin I thought/hoped against hope was doing better. Involves drugs, hospitalisation, and custody battles over newborns. I do not know what is wrong with my family.

It's going to be hard to concentrate on work today.

Happy Birthday Sean!

I am happy to announce that the good summer tomatoes have started hitting the farmers' markets. It's going to be hard to make myself eat anything BUT tomatoes the next few days.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I'm having an "Oh NO YOU DID NOT!" email chain.

Dude misunderstands a process it has taken months to nail down and proceeds to tell me what will be on my agenda for my meeting. I explain how process works, and that I can incorporate his items into the next meeting's agenda. Dude emails everyone about how the process is screwy and not how female developer said it worked differently(I can only guess that female developer is not checking her email or I would have expected to see some ONYDN from her as well). I, again, explain how the process works. QA lead explains that resources are used across all departments, so we have to prioritize, and that's why it works this way.

Dude thanks QA lead for explaining the process, and then proceeds to give me agenda items and proceeds to completely misunderstand it all over again.

I am not leaving by noon, am I?

Alt Text: The Nice Guy’s Guide to Realizing You’re Not That Nice

Huh. It would have been very useful if I had read this 25 years ago....

There are any number of geek guys running around out there without the love and companionship that many people and all golden retrievers deserve. Sometimes these guys sit down and try to figure out why they’re living a life devoid of love, romance, sex and discussions about whose hair it is in the shower drain.

They undertake a deep self-assessment, questioning all their long-cherished beliefs about themselves, and this is what they conclude: They’re too nice. And that’s hilarious!

Guys, you’re not “too nice.” That’s like saying you can’t get seated at an L.A. restaurant because you’re too famous.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I'm in between 6th graders.

I am pretty sure that's not legal. ba-da-duh

I am avoiding work and trying to get gossip. Also trying to figure out some cryptic emails. Now the race is on to see how much I can get off my desk in the next 2 hours.
