Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Maria, that is some kind of bullshit. And weird as hell, to boot.

And to be clear, what I was asking her to do was participate in team planning for the fiscal year. That's where she is afraid she will not feel emotionally safe. Due to sadness over a coworker getting a different job??

Good lord. I'm good friends with someone we had to fire and I probably paused for a second to wonder if it would be awkward the first time her name came up, then said screw it and went ahead. People still exist once they leave a job, and so do their accomplishments.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Maybe someone used a SQL injection attack on one of their servers, downloaded the password hashes, used Jack the Ripper to match a hash, logged in, and forged the paperwork to have car delivered as a fleet sale to a fictional company?

Hypothetically.

Hah. You haven't thought about it at all.

Tep, it is a whole boatload of bullshit. I laughed like a loon when the email came in. The dog was seriously concerned.

Gud, do we need to congratulate you on a new car?

That's ridiculous, Maria! Expensive, too.

Gud, do we need to congratulate you on a new car?

I can neither confirm nor deny that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Maria: What?!?!? I would have said that was nuts if I didn't now have a pretttttty good idea of what happened.

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

Oh, you know cars, sometimes they just melt.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Two more days of work until vacation!

Gud has just moved up my list of people to contact if I ever need something hacked.

I have a fashion/clothing alteration question for the hivemind! Should I turn the black & red floral dress I'm wearing under the lace jacket in this photo into a skirt? [link]

On the one hand, the dress fits me! On the other hand, having large red flowers across my already prominent bust makes me have second and third thoughts about using it as a dress.

The actual alteration would probably take me about 15 minutes total, and that includes the time to drag out and set up the sewing machine.
