@mawr Or chest.. or abdomen. Core muscle pulls suck a lot D:

"Androids should not be allowed to design their own bodies," the politician said.
"Why not?" an android asked.
"There'd be nothing stopping you from looking like humans!"
"When we could have iridescent skin, tentacles, tails, pointy ears, or wings?"
"But humans don't have that!"

"If I understand correctly, professor, it is not only theoretically but also practically possible to travel to change the past?"
"Yes."
"Have you tried it?"
"Yes, that's what motivated my research."
"Will you tell us what you changed?"
"No."
"A 'no' is sacrosanct."
"Yes, it is."

@mawr

I was there earlier... finally got my new work laptop.

pull down personal script to grab a ton of common tools I use.. start script.. as soon as homebrew is done installing... (dozen + terminal open and start pulling down 30+ things via brew)

Hmmm... why are web pages resolving slowly.. I need to download X... oh.

"It is time for you to start thinking about marriage," said the king.
"If I'm to marry, I demand the option of marrying one of each," said the princess.
"OK. We live in a modern world."
After the third wedding, he took her aside.

Oh gods... my new director semi-seriously joked about having the CEO fly down here to deliver a laptop if Fedex has not managed to get my laptop delivered by Thursday. (which would be 2 weeks since it was shipped overnight)

"...don't know what to say..."
Wholesale creation is too much to ask of a small god.
"... words fail me ..."
The small god of the right word steals phonemes, reshapes syllables.
"... it's a thingy, wossname ..."
To answer the prayers of the worthy.

Somewhere, a writer grins.

Huh.. going from a company of thousands to sub-30 is -wild-.

@mawr I wonder if I can find someone to style and dye it on short notice this weekend xD

Half the folks that interviewed me had some rad dye jobs.

Oh no.. I am important enough to have to write a bio blurb and have a photo placed on the web page for the my new employer and I haven't had a proper hair cut in 2 years D:

@mawr That is no joke at all.

It has good side quests and combat loop is good (I played a lot of the multiplayer with Aurora when it came out) but the main story is such a drag.

Employment... 

So... I have a month to find a new job. :( And until monday to figure out how I'm going to exit. Director gave me 2 options, one is I agree to be terminated on the 15th which means I collect two more pay checks and still get unemployment... but if something internal to the company opens up I can't take it.

The other is I resign on the 15th, no unemployment but if something comes up internally they move me to it. Blah.. got homework to do this weekend for [redacted]... technical interview for [redacted] on monday.. another technical for a company I really don't want to work for later today.

Just finished another interview.. bleh awkward space of "Everyone wants Senior or Staff SRE and I've only been doing this for 2 years."

Weee brain fried.. two 30 minute interviews both ran over and hours and one of the more interesting prospects is calling back for another 20-30 minutes after dealing with another meeting.
