Dear User,
Is it really necessary to call me to announce that you're going to send me a request in an email? And then type the email while you're on the phone with me?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've done that. It's either because I really like talking to the person or I really need to pin them down with the email. Sometimes both. So go with the good interpretations.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Tom, something like that happened to me yesterday. Person wanted to make sure I was the right person to direct the request to, plus needed to e-mail a document as part of the request.
But often, just silly. Like putting a goat in the front seat of the car.

So I was saying to a friend last night that current ops system has no working UPS, but since we have 2 trunk lines coming in, they wired a redundancy in, and what are the odds of us losing power while operating in this config? But that I was taking no bets.
Yeah. Breakers blew. Lost power to half the systems. Including my archive. About an hour ago.
I just....
Well, OK, FINE THEN UNIVERSE? WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF TWO CLEAN RECOVERIES AFTER CATASTROPHIC POWER FAILURE?!!!

The travelling version of Sue the Tyrannosaurus is at the prov. museum. There was a media preview this AM and employees were invited to go. It was great! She is quite awesome.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Sue is awesome! (And so is the Tyrannosaurus.)
