Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

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

Ex cloaca? An esteemed and venerable tradition.

Excellent teefury shirt today.

My god, the developer on our project that goes live in two weeks just had a family emergency and needs to return to India for an unspecified time. I wish him well, and I hope the transition goes smoothly.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Ok, now I have to write a multiple choice question where the CORRECT answer is deus ex machina, but ex cloaca is one of the fake answers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, I totally got busted on here by a coworker who read the name out loud.... Ah well.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Isn't this board for donor research purposes?

Yeah, she was like, "Is that for Buffy fans?" I said "No! It's for work! Obviously...." We're cool.

I created a style sheet that took off the board name because I had a (nasty) boss come up to me and say "Is that a Buffy thing?"

Never again.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Several of those book sculptures look like they'd be at home in Mirrormask. Doesn't KatieBee do that sort of book art--if not quite at that level.

Good to hear, Jesse.

You've posted this in BBaBB++, if I recall correctly. I am going to need to borrow your style sheet once I leave this job. For now, I will continue to enjoy my office with a door for the next five months or so.

Dear Coworker - I am sorry you have trouble using the new calendar. But maybe you should consider learning how to use the new calendar, instead of having weekly 20-minute freakout whine-fests when you find yourself accidentally double-booked, eh?
