You know, I think one of the prime signs of ownership must be a deep interest in ductwork.
Or it's a sign of a deep interest in the movie Brazil.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Brazil is the funniest movie I ever saw that left me depressed for days afterwords. (And yes, that is totally a favorable review.)

I told someone that Brazil had a happy ending, ie, our hero gets away and is happy, but that person didn't get it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hey, Ginger, I have a burning question (not literally) about fluorescent bulbs that I bet you know the answer to if you don't mind me pestering you a bit.

So did I mention I applied for a different job here? I did--it's the senior spot filled by the coworker who retired recently. Anyway, I applied at kind of the last minute, and what do you know?
I didn't make the short list. Because I'm neither a current federal employee nor a veteran. ::head-desk::
However at least one of my more-competent coworkers did (as he is a current federal employee), so possibly they'll end up hiring someone who actually can do the job in a useful way. I can hope, anyway...
