Where the fuck are you? I had an entire meeting where an executive (that I was sent in to meet because we're tight like that) questioned every axiom of one of our major projects.
And you have nothing to distract me? WHAT USE ARE YOU?
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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

Sarameg, I'm sorry about the eye issues, but I'm glad you've met new family you like.
Thanks for checking in Theodosia. I hope recovery goes well.
Sorry about the meeting stuff, ita.
I can't really taste an improvement in wine north of $50. The difference between $12 and $50's pretty noticeable to me, though. But it doesn't bother me so much that I refrain from drinking the $12 wine. Or the $5 wine, in some instances. There's expensive, amazing wine, with layers and different flavors that change at different points in the drinking process. And then there's mono-note, but perfectly tasty, bubbly rose that I can get a case of and suck down while scrolling through Tumblr. It's all good.
To sum up--mmmmmmm, wine.

IT looked at my computer and found that the screws holding in my hard drive were missing. So it was unseating itself if I jostled the computer just right. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? (Yes, I now have "screws fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place" in my brain).
I have new screws and I can get a new work laptop in 11 months, unless this one acts up. How can I make it act up?

Don't put the screws in.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just heard from the vet that my lovely cat, Zorro, who always comes when called, never holds a grudge and sleeps on my head every night is in kidney failure. I'm at work and it;s payroll day, so I have to concentrate all day. But all I want to do is go home and hug him.

Scrappy, I'm so sorry.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, Scrappy. Billions of hugs to you and head-skritches to Zorro.

And speaking of lunch, the only problem I have with pho is that I end up wearing it. Okay, I have two problems with pho: that I end up wearing it, and also that it's too delicious so I eat twice as much as I should.
Togarashi and Sriracha sauce are good for clearing your sinuses, though.
