Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

People, where are you? I need my Internets.

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

People, where are you? I need my Internets.

My boss wrote this complex SQL statement which he did not test or debug. So that's what I'm doing.

Then he did not write a complex SQL statement. He wrote a long string of characters. You are making it into a SQL statement.

I need to work out why servers I've been told are synchronised are giving me query counts that differ by up to 2000 records.

I need to take another pass at the functional requirements document.

I need to review the test plan.

Luckily the build review meeting got delayed until this afternoon.

Still, I need my Internets.

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

I keep finding myself looking at housing swap listings on craigslist, so I guess that's what I'm doing for vacation this year. And since I now have ten years at my job, I get an extra week of time.

We're crazy stupid busy at work the first half of this year, so it probably won't be until late summer or fall.

Well, it runs and does stuff, so I say it's a SQL statement. It just does the wrong stuff.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If you people don't start posting more, I'm going to run out of excuses to continue ignoring the vaccine-related flame war going on in my neighborhood parenting listserv. PLEASE HELP SAVE ME FROM MYSELF!

Tai Shan officially began his journey to China early this morning, leaving the Zoo at 9:04 a.m. The four-and-a-half-year-old panda is on his way to Dulles International Airport, where he will board a FedEx 777 plane bound for Chengdu. The non-stop flight will take about 14 hours. >[link]

I remember when he was just a blur on a panda-cam.

::waves bye-bye to the panda bear::
