What? If I'm not allowed to do home trepanning for migraines, I'm not letting other people perform home surgery either.

Less AMA, more everyone in my life* telling me they won't drill a hole in my skull.
*(Who are NOT DOCTORS BY THE WAY, so what do they know, huh?)

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
PMs suddenly came up with a whole bunch of new stuff that needs to be documented, which they have never mentioned in previous meetings.
I know your pain.

I'm told I'm not allowed to attempt trepanation either, and Pete gets worried when I start looking at antique trepanning kits.
