I use computers to find people doing bad stuff with their computers, and then make them stop doing it.

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
Did I mention that they have chosen to meet with people in an office in the hallway that is the main route to the cafe?
Really, Sparky? You can hear everything, even if you aren't trying to. It's like the whisper echoes in Statuary Hall.

Ugh, Sparky. That sounds awful. Lots of job ~ma to you and Consuela, both.
My job is pretty simple:
When people want to make their stuff go away, I help them do it. Sometimes they make it go away for good, but stuff never really goes away for good, does it? It always comes back in one way or another, sometimes in the air, sometimes in the water, sometimes making the world hotter, sometimes making the world a worse place to live and filling up spaces we are running out of.
Sometimes people put their stuff in a place where it can be made into something else, something new. I try to make sure it gets made into something else more often than not.
Even better is when people use less stuff in the first place. I try to help people find ways to do that, too.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So, folks (paging Hec!), I need a new haircut.
Your hair is a lot curlier than Julia Stiles, though, right?
I'll look for some cuts that would work with your hair. Gimme a bit...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My first thought, though, Kate is that Something like Ashley Judd's shorter hairstyle would work well for you. (Plus, no part.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Also, Audrey Tatou.
(Remember when we spotted her in the village, Jess?)
Really cute. (again no part)

And now that I've gone back to the stuff I skipped... Consuela, that sucks. I am so sorry you are still dealing with the bullshit.

Because books.
Mine is so easy. I make shit up and sometimes get paid for it if I write it down pretty. And sometimes I make sure stuff other people wrote is written pretty.
Sparky, that's awful. It's amazing to me how many professional adults are just completely clueless.

I knew you'd come through for me! Those are excellent suggestions. I especially like Audrey Tatou's look.
Your hair is a lot curlier than Julia Stiles, though, right?
It's not super curly. I think of it as more wavy than curly, though with product I can sometimes get it curlier. Possibly it's curlier when it's shorter, too.
