Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Facebook just totally freaked me out. I met a woman last night for the first time in over 10 years (and I may not have even ever met her before, although I knew who she was and we knew a lot of people in common.) I have not mentioned this meeting online in any capacity. And Facebook just suggested her to me as a "person I may know" for the first time ever.

O.o

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

LeN, you're probably totally right--I don't read the HR emails right away, so I'm getting taken by surprise by things, and I have only myself to blame for that.

The lunch thing is weird, though--my boss and the other analyst were standing by my desk waiting for my manager (she sits behind me) to be ready to leave, and when I turned around to look at them they just smiled and nodded and eventually dispersed.

In social media, a past co-worker asks to connect with me on LinkedIn about once a year. I accept the connection once a year, because we were co-workers, and he's not a liability--except he asks to connect with me once a year. Why does he need to do that? This has been consistent for nearly five years now.

MOTHERFUCKER. A co-worker just tried to kill me with guacamole. That was no fun. And my ears apparently went red. Poker face, telltale ears.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

A co-worker just tried to kill me with guacamole.

Even I can't be killed with guac. What was their method? Did they try to drown you in it? Because if so, they need to make a chunkier guacamole. It's not as good when it's that smooth.

Sorry about the tell-tale ears.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am glad they didn't succeed, ita !

I wonder if the avocados I have at home are ripe yet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What on earth did Emily Procter do to her face? I only recognized her by her voice.

It took me so long to figure out who she was last week

She must be all filler?

Now I know how I want to go!
