See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Tom, you say it like the moon.

I really should learn to rein in my (inner! Always inner!) eye-rolling and judging at people who are walking cliches of hipster fashion. Because I am a complete walking cliche of goth, which is just as silly. But damn, this couple on the bus are kind of amazing.

That's what they just tweeted about you! Between drinking PBR ironically, adjusting their oversize glasses, and cycling off on their fixies.

hip deep in pie

I once had a 2nd cousin named Sue O in my house for two weeks because her flight was fogged in. (She's since married and taken her husband's name, so I am the only one.)

Heh. Thank you, Hec. From the not-very-subtle side eye they kept giving me, you're probably right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Shane and Sean Shanahan??? There are other sounds in English, you know!

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

Christine of the three Chrises asked me if there were others named like me in my family. I'm, like, yeah, inasmuch as "like me" means something half-made up, half-abbreviated, there is another. And they were very appreciative of my sister's name, except one thought it meant brother, and Christine thought Japanese instead of Yoruba.

Names are so...so very.

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

From the shit I didn't say file:

Look, I am not a children's librarian and you are supposed to be a grown ass man. Please stop making it my problem that you never learned how to play well with others or share your toys, I mean books.

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

I got an email on Tuesday from the PM on one of my projects saying "The sales order has been signed. I don't know how the vendor is going to get it, though." The sales order was attached to the email.

We have a full time vendor representative sitting three cubes over from him, with a company phone number and email address. I literally, honestly, have no idea what he can possibly mean by "I don't know how the vendor is going to get it". You are an intelligent man with two working legs and ten working fingers. You're going to send her an email and/or walk over and tell her about it. What does that statement mean?

I asked him if he'd sent it to her (with my manager still on the cc), he said no, and I just said fuck it and forwarded it to her. Some questions don't need answering. They just need to be rendered immaterial.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Went downtown to meet some friends from out of town for dinner. Very nice.
