Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Locked out of the house for three hours? In the daytime? Please. He's ten, not two.

Yeah, that's kind of my thinking too? But not a parent, so IDK.

Thrive to spite them

Sophia, you aren't crazy. If you print it out then you'd have to stick it some place.

And when it gets updated you'd have to throw that out and reprint the new list (don't know how often it gets updated).

He is 10. It was a safe way to learn an important lesson. Yes, there could have been a different outcome, but there wasn't.

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

Strix, I'm *so* sorry, but poor kid--that's kinda funny, and he'll probably go and get your numbers tattooed on his forehead so people can read it back to him if it happens again.

DON'T GO OUTSIDE WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE, KIDDO!

However, at ten, he really should have his address book in the cloud--that's a little irresponsible of him, don't you think?

I am currently flipping my nut at developers, but JESUS. Just know your stuff and do it, will you? Don't make me uneasy. I don't have the juice to be uneasy.

Apparently I had done the most reading for book club.

Given I thought it started at 1, and it really started at 12:30--that shows you how crap our little group was. And I dominated the discussion, because I'm nothing if not good at talking about stuff I kinda know something about. However, I totally promise to read the next two chapters, because me and the group leader have pretty much come to blows on the topic of chapter #5.

Use cases--very volatile subject. As I'm sure you all know.

I have been talking Dark Knight to...everyone internal and external, and it seems to crack guys up when I call people who've signed the NDA the League of Shadows, or complain that the New 52 gave Babs back the use of her legs (obviously I was very comfortable with that vendor, because I was waving my hands around in distress and agitation).

Chatty!co-worker hasn't seen it yet, and every day I rant at him that it is KILLING me that I can't talk about it with him.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

So that job that I applied for back in April and interviewed for 6 weeks ago... I got it! I start in a week!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Congratulations, aurelia!

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

Yay, aurelia!!
