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

Oh, no good, very bad day, 'Suela.

I've been told that HR frowns on that.

Frowns on it or actually marks against it on your review? Details are important.

I'll check with my boss when she comes back from vacation. Considering the dev in question, she'd probably give me a better review if I did poke him with sharp sticks.

Sharp sticks are an excellent motivational tool. And, if not, shish kabob.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

All being all productive this morning put this afternoon into a stall. No one else is answering so I'm stuck. Ggggr.

K-Bug and bf got a dog. He is a terrior/sheppard mix though K-Bug thinks there is some huskey in there. He is something like 5 months old.

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

Timelies all!

Trying to type around a cat, once again.

Suzi, better they give dog-parenting a go first before they commit further, you know?

I guess. They couldn't afford a pot holder last week but now they can afford a puppy? Whatever. I'm more upset that they aren't planning on puppy manners classes due to the expense. Even when I offered to help pay I got brushed off. Of the many things I've learned from the Buffistas, a big one is about not just puppy training but also owner training.

Our wings are not tired.

Ugh. I hate hearing that. I predict lots of chewed up belongings and an unhappy dog.

Ah, yes, the "I'm independent and can do things my way!" claim. Pity that the puppy (and their security deposit) will be the one to pay for that.

Is one of them not working, so they can stay home and housebreak the puppy?

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

Oh, HEY THING IO9 DIDN'T SAY THEY WERE DOING... I make a post in the natter board last week, and they promote it to the IO9 front page today. Sheeit, that was during beta testing to boot. I know nothing is hidden, but that's why my notifications just shot through the roof.

I do feel a bit used....

I should get some work done instead of get irritated by that.
