I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I think we all need to win the lottery. Or a few of us can win a few big pots.

My boss hates the Oxford comma. I'm not allowed to use it for most stuff. Torture!

I have some concerns as to whether I would pass a background check for the FBI. Or maybe I would, considering I passed a rigorous and gnarly background check for my current employer. Who knows?
I suspect I have a file due to that time I worked for the United States Information Agency before it got folded into the State Department. Over the years, a friend I met there liked to send me emails with the word "bomb" in them whenever he was doing contract work in the Middle East. Good times.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I am an Oxford Comma convert (pro) and my cousin tells me on Facebook how wrong I am. I immediately asked him his opinion on cilantro before I decided to throw him out of the family. He survived the cut.
I saw that. It made me laugh my butt off.

beth, to follow up, I do thank you for the tip. I'd prefer to do an internal transfer with my current employer, but I can't wait forever because I spend too much time wanting to light people on fire. This means I need to job search outside my company in case nobody internal wants to hire me anytime soon.
My lease is up in April, so I'm going to use that as a deadline to figure out what my next steps are going to be.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Sean, I hope your move goes well.
Maria, be gentle with yourself.
I have a coworker who keeps apologizing for snark. I have yet to convince her that I see snark as a feature, not a bug. Yesterday I told her, "Your sense of humor doesn't bother me. What's really important is your stance on the Oxford comma."
She replied, "Gotta have it. What about you?"
