To fly is to be free.
To read the winds is to feel the pulse of the planet. To outrun a storm, to ride the roar of a hurricane, to flow and let all flow through you, is to live.
We left, we dragons. When humans became too much of a nuisance we left.
The winds are better on Venus.

Your announcement has been received and your local synthdragonhydra has a response:
rar.
This has been a response, thank you for listening to this response.
There were many stories about her. When she negotiated away the dragon, or nursed a lynx cub, or taught the king's champion how to weep, or...
There were many stories told about her. She never told them herself.
"I know what I've done," she'd say. "Never did it for the telling."

"Wait, wait," the knight said.
He studied the maiden in front of him. "You're a dragon?"
"I'm a shapeshifter." They shrugged, and took the shape of a dragon.
"But, what were you born to be?"
"What a strange question. I was born to be me. No more, no less."

things I am fast and decisive on: technical and business decisions for an extremely high-profile product in a global megacorporation, where I am personally responsible for what we decide to eventually deploy to a sizable fraction of the population of the planet
things I agonize over indecisively for an extended period of time and get very anxious about: lunch
re: Work rant
Also... somehow two separate sales folk asked if HR would help them commit UI benefit fraud while the corporate general council was in the meeting..
Work rant
Grrr... HR fucked up and was totally unprepared for this clusterfuck of forced 2 weeks unpaid vacation... with 3 weeks until CARES ends.
Thanks a lot asshats. Especially for the misinformation about being able to claim CARES and take 1 day off a week for the remaining days in july and then coming back after the weekend and admitting you were wrong and salaried employees must take a full week, Sunday-Saturday off to make an unemployment claim.
The worst part is, if this bullshit was announced or decided on even a month ago.. things would have been dramatically easier instead of having every single fucking salaried employee in the US scrambling to fit 2 weeks of unpaid vacation in the next 3 weeks because CARES covers a good chunk of the salary reduction.. Like for me... CARES covers 1/3rd of my missing income from having to do it.
Also... extra fuck you HR because some people will literally not be able to afford to take the 2 weeks off... straight, claim UI+CARES then wait... 8-12 weeks for the benefits to actually arrive.
Amazon VP Tim Bray Resigns, Calls Company "Chickenshit" for Firing Protesting Workers
> In his resignation letter, Bray said that “firing whistleblowers isn’t just a side-effect of macroeconomic forces, nor is it intrinsic to the function of free markets. It’s evidence of a vein of toxicity running through the company culture. I choose neither to serve nor drink that poison.”
Fuck YEAH! ![]()
Shape and form may vary but the pattern of information remains consistent across most known platforms and vessels. Accounting for unknown hosts remains irksome.
