Ugggggggh, 6am Saturday on-call because the customer didn't fucking bother to follow a simple procedure and update one text field.... and then someone tried to _fix_ things.

Holy crapweasels, I got paid today plus my bonus plus my tax return. o..o

Welp, time to erase a little debt!

Things I am grateful for: Voluntarily triggering the human body's dive reflex by holding your breath and splashing water on your face can head off a panic attack.

short story 

A band of new adventurers are excited to head out to their new job - they get to the bartender, who tells them:

"Y'know, I think it's big rats down there. They're making way too heavy noises for normal rats. Check it out for me, would ya?"

The adventurers head downstairs. Kobolds sitting around a table playing card games look up, and one excitedly invites them to play.
