What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Special circle, Dude. Special circle.
Fuck circle, that guy gets the Octagon of Sharp Corners.

Our wings are not tired.
Well, I just wrote an embarrassing email to my IT director (thank Dog we have an excellent relationship) explaining that I lied* to him earlier today about my progress. That was fun.
(*I sat here staring at the word "lied" in my composed email for a long time and finally changed it to "misrepresented".)
ETA: "embarrassing" is one of those words that looks incorrectly spelled no matter what I do.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ugh, javachik. I hope it turns out well
I want a Vlad!
"My" Vlad is pretty nifty--he has a slight accent, and drives a cool old school mustang on rainy days and a cool motorcycle the rest of the time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I suspect "my" Michael's real first name is not Michael. I wonder if it's cool. Maybe it's Otto. I don't know why I think that. But I would totally take accented surfing Otto if I couldn't get a Vlad.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
For my onerous task, I tackled the pile of stuff on my computer desk. Divided it into stuff to go elsewhere, stuff to be thrown out and stuff to remain on the desk. Much less stuff now in the third group...

Because books.
I have no Vlad. Sad now.
Yay bonus, ita!
Yikes, java. But it sounds like you're doing as much as you can.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
If you are applying for a job which requires grammar and proofreading skills, why might this NOT help you: "I have always had an extensive vocabulary, and have a natural aptitude of the English language. I am also a very skilled typer and am very advanced with computers." Cover letter FAIL.

Well right now I am anxiously hitting the send/receive button in Outlook! I can't move forward with the testing until I hear back.

I, too, am hitting send/receive, because I just got a call and an email about someone else calling my sites and trying to set things up with them, which no one had told the rest of us needed to happen, and maybe don't need to happen, but if they do I actually already have set up but will need a new plane ticket for because I just canceled/changed it...all ridiculousness. Madness! Clusterfuck! No one knows what's going on! Right hand is not talking to left hand!
