Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The P-38 is one of my favorite planes. It was just such a unique plane for its time.

Mine, too, mostly for the same reason.

I am having a moment of "Welp, setting my entire product team on fire" , thanks to my raising questions about what the actual customer workflows should be, and no one actually having answers. I think I'm the only person working with the front-end UX, and I'm starting to freak out about it.

I'm going to take the fact that this sends me into a mild panic attack as proof that I need to GTFO of the tech industry. I don't want to do this anymore.

Gotta admit, if I could make this sort of money & benefits outside of the industry, I'd seriously think about leaving.

I'm moving past mild panic and into nigh-incandescent "REALLY? REALLY?!"

For some reason management keeps vetoing my idea of raising tech support morale by having a monthly lottery where the winner can go slap a developer upside the head.

I've reached the point where I'd rather get free and then panic about money instead.

I can't really get behind that idea.

Everybody in my department loves it.

Change it to architects, and I'd be super for that.
