Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

My phrasing is terrible when it takes the pauses in btwn 3 med calls to compose a response. Apologies.

Real answer to question: healthy and thriving, if not strictly "Goth" in my eyes.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Embarrassments that didn't exist before the 21st century: You tell your family that you've changed jobs, and they're all, yeah, we already saw it on LinkedIn.

Still no action on the job front, although I upped my alcohol request from Racer 5 (great locally-brewed IPA) to an old bottle of Oban. Given the stress this is causing me, I don't see it's too much to ask from the guys who fucked up the process.

I have six workdays left and they still don't know what to do with me. Joy.

And my cubicle is overflowing with paper: reports I need to review, crap I need to draft, stuff to file. Can I hire an elf to come deal with this all for me?

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

I can haz network access at the job!

I still don't have remote access, but I *can* now get to the tools, check content out, and work on it. This is a big step forward, let me tell you.

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

Jesse, do you promote stuff to the queue out of order? Or delete some submissions? Or do I just have a spotty memory?
