No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's awesome, Jilli.

And now I realize it is not the 15th, as I have already written on top of some meeting notes...

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

I make a new outgoing message every day of the work week, so it keeps me aware of one thing at least.

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

I need one of these. For napping on airplanes, if nothing else:

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

OMG I need that pillow!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I have the attention span of a gnat.

I read that as "the attention span of a goat." Which led to a charming mental image of someone chewing on paperwork for a bit, nosing around the window for a couple of minutes, munching on the sleeve of someone's jacket, and then back to chewing on more paperwork. Probably not quite what you were going for.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I got new tires! Being that the last set lasted 66K, I have hopes these will get me through the next 66. At the least, I shall be a bit safer through the winter snows, between the new treads and the all-wheel drive.

That sounds like me, actually.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That's a good description of me today.
