Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, I haven't stayed in contact with anyone I worked with back then. And the last e-mail from HR specifically said that they like the reference to only go 5-10 years back.

I have lots of people willing to be a reference for me, but I can't claim a lengthy "professional association" with any of them.

I think maybe my best bet is to list the inventory company and the person who hired me at the temp agency, because even though I haven't seen her since my first week on this assignment she is technically my supervisor. Those are three months each. It's obvious from my resume that I don't have a lot of long-term gigs and we discussed that in my interviews, but neither of those were with HR so I guess they have different expectations.

Man, I have way too many bookmarks, it is ridiculous. I mostly use autofill for my regular sites, I think.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

No typing! I like to just click click click. And then type sometimes.

Heh - my summer intern is constantly bitching about the lack of keyboard shortcuts in our workflow (mostly internal web service tools), because he hates clicking.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I do use the Bookmarks bar at the top, but not for places I go to several times a day. It makes sense in my mind, for some reason.

I also just leave tabs open. Sometimes a lot of tabs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heh - my summer intern is constantly bitching about the lack of keyboard shortcuts in our workflow (mostly internal web service tools), because he hates clicking.

Really, I like to do one or the other, but not both. In Word? All keyboard shortcuts until I'm taking a break from typing. When I finish a post, I always tab/enter to post it. But if I'm just going from tumblr to facebook to whatever? No keyboard! All clicking.

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

I have three windows open in Opera. This [link] is the main one. Safari, Chrome, and Firefox are also running, but with maybe 1/5 of the sites open.

ALL THE INTERNET GET IN MAH BELLEH.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I just counted all my currently open tabs - 33.

It's usually just 4 when I'm at work. But rarely less than 4.

Because books.

Wow. I only have one bookmarks bar, with 17 bookmarks, and even that I'd like to pare down.

And I have nine tabs open, which is Too Many and it's freaking me out!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I just counted all my currently open tabs - 33.

You tab slut!

(just kidding, I would never slut-shame anybody about their tabs)
