Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Eight years of the Phoenix? I can't believe it.
We're all so old.
I am so glad that the cold in our department turned out to be very short-lived. Developer 1 was very hard hit, but just for the day. My sympathetic ick lasted just a short time too.
My boss is not in the office. I feel like I should draw.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I kind of feel like we've always been here...

Because books.
In my head the board has always been here, because ... it was here when I found it, if that makes any sense.
I'm waiting for the meds to kick in. Totally dizzy and vertigo-ish, and I'm just sitting on the bed.

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

Whippersnapper. I remember when there was no board! We had to publish our posts the old-fashioned way...uphill...in the snow...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yes. We are terribly old. It is very sad. But we are still managing to straggle up to our keyboards so all is well. We are why I get all in a snit about people who disparage internet communities. We have been together through birth and death and marriages and divorces and illness and good fortune. It is not fake people! This is not a fake relationship. I have known you over a decade, as opposed to internet disparagers whom I have only known the merest smidgen of time. Harumph.
In unrelated news: peach jam on french bread is nom.

Sounds like a great example of mansplaining!
Glad for good interview, smonster.
I am flying to Baltimore this afternoon for some time with my parents and the family friends that lost their matriarch and patriarch a couple years ago for a musical celebration/memorial.
Just had a conversation with my sister that makes me think that my grandmother is not long for this world. At (almost) 94, it's not unexpected of course, but any ~ma that she is comfortable and maybe hangs on till I can see her a week from today would be much appreciated.
