I was much more excited about steampunk when it looked like there was going to be a stronger focus on the Maker Movement, and less about pretending to be someone else.
Also, apparently, about goggles.
Mal: You tell me right now, little Kaylee, you really think you can do this? Kaylee: Sure. Yeah. I think so. 'Sides, if I mess up, not like you'll be able to yell at me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Bleah. Goggles on gear-encrusted top hats = UGH.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
And for the record, "safari" is the theme these people settled on AFTER realizing that their first choice of "Darkest Africa" was maybe not a good idea.
So they realized that they didn't want to seem quite so clearly creepy racist and maybe this is less ... obvious?
Because, no, none of their ideas are okay.

Hmm, I've been forced by a work schedule to move my vacation up to the last week of October. I feel like Eureka Springs has become my routine vacation destination, but a staying in a haunted hotel on Halloween and going to a seance conducted by an illusionist/escape artist is a pretty unique opportunity, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The people who should have handed over servers to us first thing this morning are not answering the phone or e-mails. Of course the servers weren't delivered. You don't hide from people you don't owe shit to.
MY DEADLINE DOES NOT FUCKING MOVE. WHY IS YOURS ELASTIC???
The entirety of my last email, and then I'm going to pee and then take a lunch break:
We’re running out of both time and resources. I have an immovable deadline to get these servers tested and deployed. If there’s a reason we can’t get them today, please tell me so I can at least start planning around the collapse of my critical path.
