You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
What a weird day--
I woke up at 4 am with stomach troubles. I called in to work and said I would go in around 10. Then, on the bus, I started sneezing and sneezing, and now I appear t have a cold, as my throat is sore, I am still sneezing, I am all stuffy, and my ears are unbearably itchy. Then, when I got home, my cat looked at me, and peed (standing up and she is a girl) on my bathroom sink vanity thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm sorry Sophia, but your cat made me laugh. Your days sucks. It's not funny. The cat thing, though, kinda.
Hey, you people without contact information in your work email signature, you better have a good reason for hiding. It's driving me ballistic trying to collate contact info, and if you're a PM or in sales or customer relations, why are you tormenting me? Not even a corporate phone number?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Liese. Fix your make-up and go into town and have a lovely dinner.
OKAY!

Can you also tell them to put their job title in their .sig file? It's really irritating otherwise.

I have so many people *I* work with whose titles/roles I don't know. The global address book doesn't help, the excel spreadsheet with extensions doesn't help, and their email sigs don't help. They're just "that one guy that did that one thing for you that one time." It's kinda frustrating, because somehow I look stupid for asking out loud.
Man, we are having some vendor management issues. Today. This week. This month. 2012. I have extreme vendor sympathy issues, but this is crazy.
20+ years in IT, and seriously--always pick the VAR. Not every value added reseller is the bomb, but even the shady one I worked for was probably better than going straight to the hardware/software vendor. You are probably not the 800lb gorilla you think you are, and they're always looking over your shoulder for the next airline or fast food franchise.

WORD. What's worse is that here, about 20%+ of the staff change job positions every year. So my contact in Seattle on X project might be moving to Alaska next month, and replaced by someone from Puerto Rico who doesn't know anything about the project. This happens all the time.
What's worse is that they're completely inconsistent with updating the global address book. I can't search on division or team or even office location (if I know it), and it might be months after someone leaves a slot before they update their information with the new phone number.
As a result, I'm disproportionately pleased when people stick around for more than a couple of years.
