Admittedly completely out of my element, but why even give them the time of day? They don't know you, and they don't need to know you.

"Have we worked with you before?"
Nope! Sure haven't. I'm in a completely different state and have no idea who you are.

Even if you've met them in person and they think you look familiar? No, person I don't want to associate with, you're mistaken, we are complete strangers.

Of course thinking of it in the moment is a lot harder than mentally re-treading that conversation in the shower the next day.

loving sucks that anyone has to think that way, though. It's nice being able to build relationships. This is my Official Sympathy Post.

One might ask if they know the works of Shan Yu.

I absolutely agree. If we were talking end users, then of course you can't assume they read every email you send. They have other work to do and probably wish IT would just leave them alone. I have much higher expectations of the people who work with me directly.

Sounds like they got tired of you making everyone else look bad.

Most plausible explanation ever.

What the gently caress is up with people in our state?

My worry is that if/when it happens to me, I might give in to testosterone and reply with "bring it."

It's this year "we need to implement X but on the blockchain".

We do need to implement stupid user questions on the blockchain. That way we can limit them to seven per second globally.

He will diminish, and pass into the West.

This has me wondering if this desktop setup is the "no brown M&Ms" of IT. If so, it's a worthy gambit.

It happened. I've finally become that which I hated.

One of my project managers came to me looking for where she fit in the timeline for a remodel my department is overseeing. Her focus is entirely on A/V, which this particular project involves none of until 2025.

Seeing as how she doesn't need to be involved since it doesn't involve her, I said it. I said it without thinking.

"That's none of your concern".

The urge to run a media empire on a consumer Buffalo NAS will be next.

How long do I have?

Is this the new spinoff of Santa Clarita Diet?

Somewhere, an Emacs developer began salivating uncontrollably without knowing why.
