This will be easy compared to the last job, I think. No more 8 week trips!
It sounds like a win all-around then! Fantastic!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hooray for the job in Geneva! That you don't have to move for!
Aw, baby squirrel got a good home.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So...sort of like a Chromebook.
And about exactly as useful, I'd imagine. At least for work.
Fuck you, Windows. At least sometimes it crashes in front of my face, so I don't feel like I'm going crazy, all by myself. I'm clearly being driven thus.

Would Matilda like a taxidermied squirrel? I hear the Blogess could help her out.
Geneva sounds awesome!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

TOLD YOU.
Yesterday I suggested we take certain steps to determine the root cause for a problem, and I got shut down. I asked the incident manager how to deal with the request for the root cause since "we" had decided not to investigate any more, and he told me to not even mention root cause, just talk about our workaround.
Well, I just pulled over the coals on an IT-wide meeting on the root cause, including by my boss, BECAUSE THAT DECISION WAS ILL-CONSIDERED. I don't get to throw my manager under the bus, I just get to look stupid. Thanks, guys! That was in no way entirely predictable. At least the incident manager agrees that's what I said would happen. Doesn't make me feel better about it happening, though.

Ugh, ita.
Yay for Sparky's DH!
I'm hungry, and I don't have nearly as many crackers at work as I thought I did. Boo.

Heh - we've got a taxidermied mouse in the house, much like the one on the Bloggess' book cover. It's actually a Hamlet mouse with a little ruff around its neck and holding a little mousey Yorick skull.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
She now has a taxidermied robot mouse.
Since she's using it for her blog, she's decided it's tax deductible.
This is why IRS staff burn out early, isn't it?
