Dammit, I thought I was doing really well, but I still lost...fucking Norway, man. I should have thought that out better.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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

One of the numerous things that has sucked this week was getting a new computer I need to re-tailor from scratch.
I sent out a handful of emails with the signature of "First Name Last Name, Sr. Business Systems Analyst". Like, literally that text.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I plan on telling him almost precisely that, ita. The thing is, he told me he lets people go early if there is nothing to do on a day.....but....I also know he got burned by the previous employee coming in late and leaving early. Still, if he wants me to stay there when I have no work to do since I do not know how to do anything yet, then he at least needs to get me keys.

I find the semantic difference between "I can't do that because..." and "You must do this so I can..." really annoying--if you don't have a reason to distrust the person who's saying why they can't, just parse the information. But handing people deliverables is sometimes just fucking faster.
45 more minutes to go. At least the people who bought co-worker birthday cake went for the good stuff. The bottom layer has been soaking in something not oversweet.

We had birthday cupcakes at our staff meeting this afternoon, made with champagne and they were good, not too sweet. I might have to look into that recipe.

One of the siblings with the same name is leaving next week! Am sad. Her brother likes working with her too--professionally can make her life miserable.
Which, explains stuff.
He sits over the wall from me (for now?) and one of the last times I bumped into his sister she told me I was his favourite conversationalist.
How embarrassing! I mean, for him. Me, I'm chuffed.
