Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I kind of love that. I can just picture a mad scientist like, "And it's like this, see?"

We just had a thing where someone had to sign a formal document and instead of a scan back, we got a phone picture of their signature, not even obviously on our document.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Like the good old days when we asked for a screenshot from a client and they faxed us a printout.

I have worked over 12 hours today, so I'm pretty sure this means I get to buy pizza and beer for dinner because there are no more spoons for cooking.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

they are -- I'm not kidding -- photos of hand-drawn figures on spiral-bound notebook paper.

Once I had a co-worker scan in sketches she'd drawn on an honest to Gaia, literal napkin and send them to me as directions for redesigning the website. I don't really miss some aspects of that job.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It was too damn cold tonight; I rescheduled a previously planned hook-up because I got brain freeze from breathing outside while feeding the alley cats.

Do you mean the cats or the hook-up, Connie?

What is a "Modern Old Fashioned"? A drink, I presume?
