No, I'm not in the ER yet. I can't leave the deployment, because no one is fucking troubleshooting but me. I am seriously about to start crying and hang up. Surely they can do something themselves. I'm the Business Analyst, not a technical fucking firewall troubleshooter.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Surely they can do something themselves.
You'd think.

I woke up, but I think I'd like to go back to bed!

The status is NOT quo.
I did not feel the earthquake we apparently had. Was sleeping the good sleep. ita !, I'm, as per usual, angry and frustrated on your behalf. No one should be hassling you when you are in the ER.

Except most of the evidence points to the contrary.

There is that.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
ita !, I swear. I wish you had colleagues who weren't such ineffective fucknuggets. That goes for your doctors, too.
JZ, I love that story about your grandma!! Awwww.

So my local burrito place, anticipating bad storm business, is doing a thing where if you buy a burrito today through Tuesday, you get a free one Wednesday or Thursday. My house is full of food, but I don't know if I can resist!

I got an AC power converter for my car's cigarette lighter, so if the power goes out and there's flooding, I can still run the sump pump and save my basement.
By 'flooding' I mostly mean ground water. We're on a pretty good-size hill, so I don't have to worry about NO-style flooding. It was a foot-worth of ground water flooding that killed my furnace, so I'm prepared, I think.
Note to self: test sump pump for workingness today....
