Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Something like "Of course. I wasn't able to get direction on these last week so I'll fix them now. "

That works, because she knows Back-Up Person was my only point of contact. Thanks!

(A leftover problem is that any articles I edited last week fall under Back-Up Person's purview until publication, so I'm STILL chasing an answer that he is Just. Not. Providing., and I am getting pissed as hell. I'm going to end up doing the thing that I think is correct, but if I get shit for it, I'm going to shank someone.)

If I think there's any chance that I'll get dinged for something that I did under the direction--or lack thereof after looking for direction--I will document that in the case notes. "As instructed by X, I did Y to the customer's computer" or "I tried to reach X but was unable to, so I did Y." The X's are supposed to be available to the techs, and I have no problem noting when I am unable to reach them.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

You could also go with, "Is this the correct contact information for X because I was not able to reach him with questions while you were away."

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

So, I'm pretty sure my car is boned. Because it basically exploded. At least I had good walking shoes on.

Sigh. FML.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm going to take a stand and declare that cars that basically explode are a bad thing.

I'm sorry, Strix.

Yikes.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Not to make light of your predicament, Strix, but I am picturing you walking away in slow motion from your car as it explodes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm picturing the driver of an AT-AT blasting Strix's car with an ion cannon after being pissed off that Strix's car is blocking the way.
