So he picked a sapphire because...I don't remember the reason he gave. I think he just liked it.
I like the color of sapphires. I think it'll look good on you.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

Department-wide awesomeness deficit, to be remediated by the development of a fully accessible, intranet based program of My Awesomeness Veneration, with incentives (like ice cream vending machines) for divisions within my department that achieve 75% or better staff participation in MAV.
I'm in awe.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Here's what I've come up with for my self-eval so far:
I am awesome, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna deny my awesome again
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much awesome I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (awesome)
I am invincible (awesome)
I am awesome

Aww, congratulations, Steph!
I just caused a bubble wrap stand off on my team. This may turn into a war of attrition before the day is out.

Teppy - your story made me tear up. So adorable.
Also - ten videos of dogs walking horses. . . I like the alternative title: 10 videos of dogs trying to play tug with horses that just want to eat some grass.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm just trying to wait for a gap in my manager's day so I can tell her I need to go home. All I'm doing is staring at a blank screen.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Motivation today - nil.
Deadlines today - one big one, but I'm missing input from 6 key people.
Knee healing process - eh. Still hurts to move it. And apparently I make strange noises when I need to reposition myself.
JZ - Awesome squared
ita ! - Can you just send her an e-mail and then take off?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
And then I dumped the ring out, he took it, got down on one creaky knee and proposed, and after the yeses and kisses, he said, "Seriously, this is called a tiara setting. You get to wear a tiara every day!"
OK, I'm seriously grinning like a loon right now. That's such a wonderful, sweet story. Good job, Tim!
