Because books.

I'm finding spelling mistakes/typos on live websites (of ours at work). One of them? The "serach" button.

I'm wearing a sparkly beaded bracelet that I bought at DragonCon. It has a magnet clasp, which makes it super easy to put on, but it also means that I'm randomly finding myself stuck to metal things today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Who just put on Facebook the guy running for governor of something who had "governor" misspelled on his website?

I think it was a schoolboard site or something?

Someone not one of us just posted something on my feed from a company called apostrophe that misused an apostrophe in its tagline.

I did, for one. It's things like that that make Georgians pray not for competent politicians, which is too much to expect, but just for ones who aren't embarrassing.

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

OMG a full-time support (not tech, business) person forwarded me a support case, and I'm walking a frustrated but nice guy through Outlook setup of a random version that isn't the same version I have and of which I have zero screenshots just "don't change the other settings, mmkay?" and the other support person is on the line too, and this guy has had a periodic error message since yesterday and no one called him back and...oy.

I got rid of his error message, and got him a workaround for sending email, but his Outlook is only 2/3 fixed. Where is that escalate button again????

The phones...the phones have stopped ringing...this is the first time in a day and a half that I've joined the queue and it hasn't rung immediately. If I get my TiVo to Weaknees before 3:30 they will attach the drive today.

Also it hurts and I want to cry, but that's besides all the pointses, as they say.

IT RANGGGGGGG!!!!!
