Ginger hard candy is good too. Sorry about the bleh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I wish I had thought up the phrase "face-time continuum"! That was funny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That warehouse shipping story was a bit...damn. You really have a hand scanner that tells you how many steps it's supposed to take you to get to the goods you're fetching? That's ridic.
eta: Today is not a good day. My manager was already not happy with me, and I pissed her off further by doing work that wasn't actually mine, but I was helping someone out. Which meant that she had to sign off on it, and she refused, and I had to officially throw the work back out into the pool.
I'm just trying to not say no, and to be helpful, dammit.

Practical jokes. In a place a I used to work in back in 2000, a new hire top manager was greeted by finding TRS-80 with a 300 baud modem on his desk. He trumped that by keeping both for his personal collection. Proved himself and fit right in. But it meets the ita ! test of not being a hoax or a deception.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I have been put in the position of mentoring two other people who are part of our group - one is multiple grade levels higher than I am. I hadn't realized he was a higher grade until today. Based on his knowledge and the training time I've put in with him, I'm surprised.
But now I understand why he has been the more difficult of the two to work with. And, of course, I'm getting the most pressure regarding his projects. I'm trying to step lightly, but, I fear, at some point I'm going to have to be a pushy b*tch.
