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

One of the networks in my building is called CaptainReynolds. How do I find out who this person is?

I just had an awful meeting where they rewrote the document I've been working on for a week in a format I completely fail to understand. Like, there's just no logic I can see to it, and I feel really stupid. And I look bad, too.

Hi DJ!

Allyson, your next car should be free.

Hi, Daisy! I have been thinking of you extra often since preseason football started.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

We have just about everyone out of office today, a bunch of giant projects launching at the beginning of next month, and crackheaded stuff like v.3 requested before v.1. Those of us actually here today are behaving like we're in some sort of prison experiment.

For some reason I'm trying to get this place to hire me, and that is even turning into a bit of a farce.

On the other hand, I work with a ninja god.

I need to work "Chanandler Bong" into casual conversation this weekend.

Eeep! The SF game amped my excitement up well past what is tolerable for most people, so I'm only gushing to fellow Who Dats.

That's a thoughtful policy. But I have no one IRL to gush with!

Good luck with the getting hired business, I hope it doesn't get too ridiculous.

I have no tips, but you definitely need to find them.

I made a friend once because I had iTunes sharing on in my college dormitory. My iTunes network was just my name, and I got a message on Facebook that essentially said "are you the girl with all the showtunes on her iTunes?" and BAM. New friend.

I have taken 2 tests, applied for my job, and provided my current boss as a reference. They can't find my scores, but that's ok, because one of them was the wrong test because after evaluating the position from the description of the job posting my boss pretty much wrote to match my job, they reclassified the position.

However, I will say, I mostly haven't had to navigate this alone. My boss and a couple of my senior coworkers have been amazing advocates.

Name a network Yo-Saff-Bridge and see if s/he finds you?
