Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Jesse, I hope they figure out what's wrong.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I totally did the thing you should never do, and went to WebMD! They have pets there, too! And of course everything leads to cancer.

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

Oh good god. I've slipped into some alternate universe where not only am I responsible for every technical shortcoming in this project but someone on IO9 is blaming me for the new interface.

Like, seriously, bring it all on. Obamacare? That was me. Pro-life protesting? Me. Pro-choice protesting? Me. Kony? Not only do I ship him weapons, I gave the cute white guy "exhaustion". ALL ME.

The question is either--who let the crazy people have keyboards or who let me have a keyboard--or both. Are one and the same.

Eek! I shall make sure to stay far away from that. I have enough anxiety about the little guy as it is.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You see what happens when you change cite to blockquote?!?!

I'm actually really glad to know that -- I couldn't figure out who to blame!

Nick Denton ain't got shit on me, that's for sure!

Also, I'm picking a fight with tech support because my password keeper's database has disappeared on two platforms. And I'm scared to futz with restoring backups and shit.

Okay, excellent--password backup restored from 28th of June...got everything other than my new AD password.

Which I'm about to panic myself into forgetting...maybe I should lock my desktop right now and find out...

Ha, no. Let me finish Phase 1 of this project plan first.

Librarian Warlord

It was 104 here today, and they are saying same tomorrow with the possibility of violent thunderstorms tonight/tomorrow. If our electricity goes out, I will curse my husband (who is away . . . who is always away during snowstorms, heat waves, basement floodings, etc.).

Someone I took over a journal from emailed me all sorts of stuff she'd forgotten to send me (for weeks - she's been in Paris) which will totally ker-f*ck my work for the next two weeks.

However, my daughter is feeding me fake food made in her own fake kitchen and reminding me that I promised to buy her a robot. So that's all good.

All you people talking 100+ make me feel bad for how much I was sweating earlier, given that it's just in the 80s here...
