Happy birthday, Casper!
And Nilly!! I missed Nilly but ye gads is that little boy of hers cute! And such a fun, crazy-making age.
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Anybody want to run an independent bookstore in rural VA for two months? [link]

I really wish I could drive. I bet I could make some kind of deal with my job, even.

That sounds awesome, too bad I don't get any sabbatical.

If it didn't come with cats, I would be tempted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just had a series of panic attacks on checking my email. The servers we should have access to for project 1, we don't. The storage space for project 1 looks like the wrong storage space. Suddenly we need Java expertise on project 1 and we have none. Project 2 starts on the same servers as project 1 a week before project 1 ends, and my boss has just compressed 7 months of work to be delivered by Christmas. I'm on the record as thinking the risk is too high, but shit...I don't care who we're hiring...that's too much.
I need to do some biofeedback exercises to calm my ass down. But...jesus. The CIO told us to take 7 months.
I just sent an "OMG, freakout" email to my manager, but I don't know if that's enough, because I need to use her as an escalation path. My word isn't being counted as important here. I need to know if I'm alone in this POV, in which case--alone. Suck it up.

Eek, ita. Keep breathing.
Seriously, there's no pay, but you only have to work the store Fridays and Saturdays. [link]
