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

Oh, and the other update:

I found a black miniskirt that I think works well with the tie. It's not tight or anything, but I couldn't find my character shoes and initially grabbed the granny boots, but it looked more coquettish than businesslike, so I went back to the Doc Marten Mary Janes, which don't sound businesslike, but...they work.

The guy who is snazzy called me snazzy, and I asked him what knot he used for his tie, and—no surprise there, full Windsor. He never does anything else. A guy within earshot said that he really shouldn't have gone full Windsor with that collar (which means there are more things for me to learn) and a chick within earshot (who was patently not wearing business formal) said "There are different ways to tie ties???!?"

So, you know, stuff.

Why do I have grey hose? This just looks ashy. But it's all I have.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm a fan of "I'm not slacking, my code is compiling," because my coder husband likes that one. Edit: [link]

I don't know what it says about me that I am completely, 100% unsurprised at Consuela's job's job posting fuckup. I expected that something exactly like that would happen. It's fully consistent with their bureaucracy and crappy treatment of her.

Weird.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

When I clicked on one of your links, I also got to this one, which is pretty great: [link] But "Someone is wrong on the internet" is the one I think of most often.
