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

Those specific pieces of jewelry are pretty ugly.

And the first few how-tos on the airline list are pretty shitty.

I should announce: I will recline my seat. I'm not sorry. However, feel free to recline your seat into my lap. Life sucks, but for me, attempting vague horizontality is premium, and I'm willing to give up upper leg room in order to use the chairs like they were designed.

My boss is completely yanking my feet out from underneath me in this meeting. Way to make it sound like I have no authority. If you want me to charge forward and *do*, tell me. If you want me to hedge and waffle with the business user, warn me beforehand. Don't make me look weak.

This is true. There are other jewelers I would use.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I should announce: I will recline my seat. I'm not sorry.

Just don't sit in front of me.

When I sit in coach, my knees are already against the seat in front of me, even if it's not reclined. Usually I try to get a seat behind a bulkhead so there's no seat in front of me.

eta: So I don't need one of those techniques to keep the seat in front of me from reclining - my knees do that by themselves.

But I don't fly much these days.

Now tagless for your comfort.

There's no way to unsee that Orangina ad is there?

I'm taking you all down with me, if I have to go.

I just realised (from reading the good things blog) that I hate the term "Rasta hair." It's not Rasta hair. It's dog fur, for one. But what they are are dreadlocks. Not only Rastas have them, although they are required by the tenets of Rastafarianism.

Also, it's a fucking dog. I'm happy it's a healthy dog, but I doubt it has any religious inclinations.

Wow, I love all new peeves.

If you are going to switch your base OS (unix to linux), try not to schedule it so you are switching your database server OS (Sybase to MSSql) at the same time.

Next few weeks are going to kill me. So much bitty bits of code dangling around the margins are going to break.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love our First Lady.

She's adorable!

You are, of course, correct.

I just went into Sephora to return the store-brand stuff I bought over the weekend, and walked out with Bobbi Brown. Oops.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I've been trying to get to Sephora for the past week and it keeps not happening because things get too crazy to leave the office. It's annoying but at the same time I feel like I'm being protected from myself.
