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

But where does the skycrane go? I need closure.

I could be really annoying today. I can't tell. But I'm sassing everyone, including the CIO's admin and managers and shit. So far, so good. At least to my face.

I have one more on site thing I said I'd do today, and I'm about to say fuck it for the week. I just pulled off the uber-productive 15 minute meeting, and I kinda just want to coast on how badly it was totally going to go (the silent developer not just unprepared, but she had all the wrong facts, when she offered up any at all--thankfully I quizzed her beforehand, so I stopped her talking in front of upper management) and didn't. She said she'd send me chocolates if I wrote the support tickets for her, and I totally did.

Okay, the Indian guys are saying lots of words in language-ita !-doesn't-speak, and also "pineapple fried rice" and "hospitalised" and "medical emergency".

Good to know everyone's knuckling down and getting work done in the waning hours of the week. Creepy guy was just at my desk telling me to go home--does he want to follow me? What is in it for him...

They have a computer generated video showing what is supposed to happen, and it is AWESOME. My husband goes into cackles of geekiness.

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

But where does the skycrane go?

Having fulfilled its destiny, it flies off a mile or two away and crashes.

Trust me--it's OK. Kinda' like how spiders and salmon die after they give birth.

Yeah. It'll be landing after midnight Central time. I'll be watching the updates.

Oh, man, I'll be off in the mountains when this happens. Feh.

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

See, this is the shit I get myself into. No co-worker is supposed to email me and tell me I'm pretty and ask if I'm single. I don't even make those jokes with your colleague that's hot and has the accent. It's completely off limits for everyone.

And I swear, of all the shit I've been pulling today, I totally did not predictably set myself up for that.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

As usual, I have Nova on my lap. I'm just waiting for her to go after my earrings.

Oh, shit! What do you call the group of people that believe they really have spirit animals, and they're a mustang soul, not a human? I am having a hard time working out search terms that I don't mind being stored in the work log from this IP address.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Find out why NASA engineers call the upcoming Mars landing "Seven Minutes of Terror"

I've got tix to go see the landing (or really, just listening to people in the control room panic, I guess), but I have no friends so I have to go by myself. :(

Yo Is This Racist now has a call-in number where you can ask him questions on voicemail for his podcast.

OMG I totally want to call in and yell.
