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

why is our country so hung up on sex?

Because it's fun, and if you let people go around having fun it might lead to increased happiness, and if people get happier, who knows where this could all end?

I obviously need to taste this chicken so I can be an informed boycotter. What $5 cost could I incur for them to balance out the ledger (I would have to order the charbroiled, since I don't like fried chicken in the first place--is the charbroiled legendary too?)?

Today seems to be the day ita spends chasing people down. Said totally infuriating developer refuses to tell me how much information she actually has on what she needs to do--I suspect it might be because I keep framing the question as "what was covered in the knowledge transfer session?" and she can't work out how to handle that without accepting blame for being unprepared. I asked her if she was ready for this over a week ago, and she's been evading me that long.

And, since I apologised to her, she's been deafeningly silent still--I need to know she's looking for info, but I can't divine it through the wires or anything.

Her excuse for asking me for the information she'd already had since yesterday? "Oh, I didn't read past the image". Glad to know you put such a high bet on me answering your question that you don't bother reading the whole email (it was a dialogue box--it's not like there was heavy scrolling involved) to see if it's there--it is clearly simpler to keep asking the question than to read the answer.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have been so much meaner to people at work and people have been so much meaner to me!

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

I'm getting the sense that maybe I should highlight "reads the whole e-mail" as a special skill on my resumé.

I do, lurking headhunters. True fact.

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

My initial response was "Oh, this is what your boss means when he says you're incompetent!" So it could have been meaner. I don't know why she thinks I have the knowledge on how to do this, when a) it's her job and b) someone else trained her, theoretically, before they left the company.

And she's the one who drove away the only person in the company who's had hands-on experience with what she's trying to do--not to mention that if she'd tried it in the development environment like we'd all decided she should yesterday, she would not be asking these questions about production this morning.

And she's still not answering the question "How did it work out when you tested in dev?"

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Jesus FUCKING Christ, coworker who is still technically on vacation, I'm sorry you are snippy about this thing that I didn't consult you on, but you have been out of the office for TWO WEEKS. If our higher-up approved the damn thing, please don't send me a fucking snippy email about it. I have REACHED MY LIMIT of snippy for the week.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Oh, I've been at several more F2Fs, but I think I met sumi, Liese and Sophia only that one time in Chicago. Same for some of the LAistas, at the LA one.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

a women at work found a black kitten on her porch last night and is trying to find a home for it, but no one at work is interested (because they suck).

Can she mail it to my mom?

ETA- I seriously feel like I am being visited by Biblical Plagues. My rash is mostly cleared up, and now I have a boil!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I have a rainbow cupcake. A local vegan bakery is selling them, and giving $1 from each purchase to Garden State Equality, as a response to the Chik-fil-A thing.

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