Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Apparently I'm moving desks again. Seat assignments are not set and as yet we have no map of the floor we're moving to, so I may be wandering aimlessly next Monday.

I also have to write my self-assessment by end of day for annual review, which is going to be super great since I spent much of the last review cycle shutting down a product. Woo?

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Self-assessment: "I shut that shit DOWN."

Pretty much what I'm gonna say, may add in "LIKE A BOSS" since I did it at 80% reduction in staff?

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

That is a most excellent Storm, Hec. Bookmarked.

I have come in today to a failing work computer, so I have to hand it to tech support for a while. Which, should my boss need me for one of his exit meeting, will bother him considerably.

I have written my "shut this product down like a boss" section. Now I'm trying to figure out how to write up "transitioned to a new role, have no idea what I'm doing."

Shrift, can you send me that section when you're done? No one will notice if I use it verbatim.

Ta, ever so.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Rapidly getting up to speed" is I think what you want there.

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

And "assuming new responsibilities."
