Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

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

I woke up at 2 this morning and sent out an email I really should have sent at 5 yesterday. This project is frustrating me, and getting people frustrated with me. It's absolutely lose lose.

And the accommodation we currently have in place at work for my headaches is really not working, at least for me. Dunno about from their side.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Goodness, Nilly, that is no baby! You've got yourself a little boy on your hands.

Thanks, JZ! I wish Emmett and Matilda could meet him. He'd love it so much to play with both.

I have to warn you that Emmett is a total baby hog, and would play with him incessantly until he dropped a diaper bomb.

He's not quite to the gold standard of K-Bug when it comes to baby wrangling, but he's pretty good.

Happy birthday, Sox!

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

I'm watching the news right now and this woman on the general interest story is a former Olympian is a bodybuilder? -- I thought she was literally like 24. [link]

SHE'S 61!

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Happy Birthday Sox. Happy Belated Sarameg.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Black don't crack, bon.

So, you guys, Batman's cape? Doesn't actually work. [link]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

NO CAPES!

ita, I so hear you on project drama and frustration. Ugh. My boss likes me and knows the project is awful, but it's really not a great way to start a new company and showcase my talent or promote-ability.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Happy Birthday, Sox!

Happy Day after, Sarameg!

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

I am utterly astonished at how much detail my manager and boss expect me to be able to pull out of my ass given how little technical knowledge they have. Like, they don't understand stuff to the level I currently know it, but they also don't seem to appreciate that I'm not actually ever expected to do these tasks, so the detailed knowledge--not mine. It's in the hands of the technical experts. Which is why I depend on them to supply it, and to verify it's correct.

They're in this weird place of asking me to know more than the developer, and I don't see how that's vaguely feasible.

Doesn't matter--I made it into work, lasted about an hour, and said fuck it and came home. I'm about to disconnect all the phones and go to bed because this hurts too fucking much. The ER visit this weekend...better than nothing, without actually being good.
