Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

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

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

It's a bit like a modified harold, if you kind of think three beats followed by group game. The first three beats of that description are how harold scenes should go, anyway.

Skipping oh-yeah-yet-again because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is EpicTangent's birthday.

Also, since this grading is taking up even what little I may skip, and then shabbat soon will not let me be in front of a computer at all, I'll already post that tomorrow, the 22nd, will be Fred Pete & hubs' anniversary, and Saturday, the 23rd, will be Steph L's birthday.

Lots of wishes to all!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Saturday, the 23rd, will be Steph L's birthday.

What! She hasn't said anything about it! Where is the countdown??

My troupes didn't play Harold. I'm not familiar with the structure.

As predicted it is still my responsibility to get the information into the developer's brain. I'm not sure how I can work the system to get to be the one with no culpability.

Maybe if I weren't an older child...

Psych. Also, j/k.

Maybe if I weren't an idiot.

Jonathan Coulton has a fascinating (to me) discussion of intellectual property and the future of manufacturing here: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love that Nilly still keeps us on track with celebrations, even though she can't post at all!

Happy birthday, EpicTangent!

I think the person who wrote this document meant effectiveness. What he wrote was affectability.

OMG and LOL.

I just went to the presentation about our most recent employee survey and it was kind of fascinating, but maybe only because I find the COO weirdly compelling. He always seems so frank. But now I don't think I actually got anything from the presentation.

I used to have some stellar developers on my projects. Those days are gone. I just had to walk one through the process of "There is no data for June" through to "I can't run you a report for June."

He was standing there insisting that a) There is no data for June and b) He was going to run me a report for June.

I get really self-conscious when I have to do it, because I am being really rude, but I can't work out any other way to get the right answer.

I really hope the new guy is good. Otherwise bitches be stabbinated, perhaps starting with hari kiri.

I have a report for June! It's right here:

Oh, man! You have saved my bacon!
