Too cool, Holli!

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

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Congratulations, Holli! That is fantastic!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Happy Birthday, Laura! Yay, Holli!
Also Ginger? Shall we send your House rep flowers? Or maybe she'd like a chainsaw?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Great step, Holli. Who's a big little Eskimo? Who is?
My boss just called to congratulate me on handling the lessons learnt call yesterday, which was good, since I came out of it feeling like I'd done everything in the world wrong in the project. And it's true--I didn't spend enough time on lessons we learnt because we did things right--truth is, we pulled off an unexpectedly complex project on time, and with quality. We have a very happy business user, whose discomfiture now is because they didn't think things through beforehand, not because we didn't inform them and try and get them to think things through.
Then I had to make a "this is just between you and me, except I need you to escalate" call to a vendor, to exploit a rapport I'd built up with their consultant. What a difficult place to put the poor guy in, to tell him he's the only one at his company that's giving us proper attention, and that they are in jeopardy if everyone else doesn't meet his level of service. I hope I handled it as well as possible, telling him he didn't have to defend his company or co-workers to me, just to, you know, fix everything.
Oy.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Holli!! So exciting!!

It would amuse me if Rupert Graves played either Lestrade or his character from Life on Mars in Doctor Who.
Argus Filch/Walder Frey is also going to be in the next season of Doctor Who.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Go, Holli!

I love the way you talk about your job, ita.
