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

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

Word (tweet?) apparently got out to a flock of house sparrows that I have food. There are probably 30+ mobbing my deck. Plus clumsy doves.

Sparrows are like fluffy piranhas.

They are nicer to each other than the doves.
JFC, testing just ran into major performance issues. This is a major redesign and we're pushing up against some hard deadlines and… I can't even.

Are you absolutely certain your job isn't actually a hidden camera reality show or possibly a sociological experiment?

It's a bunch of software engineers and astronomers trying to work together, it's totally a twisted sociological experiment!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I am waiting for my boss to respond to my self-evaluation, which I turned in late (with her permission, which she's now apparently forgotten that she gave).

I've got my first college-application tutoring today, even after I pointed out that my most-relevant qualification for this is that I once wrote an application that got me into a college. (Yeah, the journalism classes and professional writing helps too, but really.)
Could be anywhere from "Help! I have no ideas for this essay!" to "Help me render my gripping and emotional essay into grammatical English" to "I can't figure out how to scan this letter of recommendation and upload it onto the college website."

You are a brave woman, Theo. I look forward to your stories. (I jest. You'll do great, and it'll be fun! But I am looking forward to the stories.)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I have zero interest in working today. I am forcing myself to get paper off my desk so I have done appearance of working.
What would be worse: putting things on my Amazon wish list, or looking for jobs?
