Hi ita's sister!

When I got to the register at 7-Eleven a few minutes ago they asked me how many Mega Millions tickets I wanted.

Jessica, I don't get it: they gave you a gift last year, and this year they want you to give them back the gift they gave you in order for them to loan you something that is only to be used for work purposes?

Well technically the ones we got last year have should all the same restrictions on them, only since they were purchased at the Apple Store by our department head the whole this-isn't-really-a-gift-gift part was handwaved and not mentioned to anyone. Until now, since this year the purchasing was done through proper channels.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Congrats, Jilli!

Hi, sister !.

I just watched a 20 minute information security video, which was somewhat entertaining, except for all of the breaches I have already witnessed today! What to do, what to do.

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

People are looking at the picture of my knife on my desk funny. I may need to move it out of the direct line of vision of all my visitors.

Apparently one of the guys in Marketing got asked to take down a cartoon that said, among other things, "I'm confused and I don't know which of you to kill first."

God, workplaces are so sensitive.

My manager is giving a performance evaluation over the phone in the cube next to me, and I feel for her. Also, a bunch of that stuff is verbatim from my evaluation, so she must be bored out of her mind. It's 80% form filler, 20% individually targeted. At best.

It is so beautiful outside...I want to be DONE with work.

It's a different job, but with the same team and same company. They really liked me and wanted to hire me. Yay!

Looks at New Yorker cartoon with the line "Must you answer every question with a death threat?" and wonders if he should take it down.
