Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It takes 15 minutes to boot my government laptop!
Heh. I had one of those at my last job. You have never seen someone so happy when her computer died.
It's OK if I sit here on my ass some more, right? Maybe take a nap? I feel like my last two weekends have been non-stop Doing, and I still need the rest!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yay Tom! And sending good luck vibes to Jesse as well.
I have to do a massive fix-up of the back of the house before we leave for vacay. The cat DESTROYED the one remaining carpet in the house so we need to take it out before we leave.

In randon news, I keep accidentally hitting "block" on this screen, and it is very distressing!

I can hear the rain on the roof of the building. My car windows aren't all the way up and I don't even care.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
15 minutes to boot.
HA my bosses computer does that and we are private sector, but I think I just found out why. IT just called to let me know that his computer (which was dropped over the weekend) had too much data to transfer in one day. His My Documents folder ALONE is over 100 Gig. crazycakes.

Yay Tom! And yes, be warned by bon's & my experience. Everything takes longer with the government, even at the state or local level.

Everything takes longer with the government, even at the state or local level.
This is very true.
Yay! Hope you get it.
Good luck, Jesse!

Shudder. Archive, people! Just because your hard drive will take a terabyte of data doesn't mean you have to fill it all!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The reason I don't live in New Orleans is pretty much totally due to the slowness of government jobs. I'd interviewed for the position, the guy liked me and wanted to hire me, but between us we couldn't work out how to time opening up the position, etc, with my green card stages.
So I moved back to Michigan.
How different that would have been.
