Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Dear Work Person:

I get that it's been REALLY hard to drag information out of the people we're working with. SUPER hard. To get any decisions in writing has been a big PITA, and they take FOREVER to make a decision, which is hampering our job.

That said, sending out a "how to do this bizarro workaround in the software we use" as if they've finally told us how to do something, when several of us have REPEATEDLY explained how to do that, on the weekly conference calls? Is NOT a "OMG here's an answer that's been hanging out there and they finally told us!" If THAT was on your to-do list to bug them about, I'd love to see and re-align your to-do list. SERIOUSLY. Because I would've crossed that off months ago, and quit bothering them about it. Because we already knew how to do it, and have ALREADY explained, REPEATEDLY, on teleconferences YOU WERE LEADING.

Argh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, some people here may (or may not!) be glad to hear that my coworker was all like, "What is this, Bing??"

Does this mean I can have a nutty bar now for behaving?

Yes.

I had an extended birthday lunch for a coworker, came back to a couple of emails I was waiting for, did something proactive (apparently proactivity is highly-prized here), so now I feel like the day should be over....

OMG, I think I just saw Sean Young on The Young and the Restless.

Our wings are not tired.

She's lucky to still have a job in acting.

More importantly, what are you doing watching a SOAP?

There is a Giants/Reds game on!!!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yep, it's her.

Are you sure? Maybe it's a replicant.

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

Voight-Kampff her!
