Yeah, let me know if there's anything I can do. I'm having similar problems. I need to call to book an appointment for my research proposal to be reviewed by ethics commitee. Their number is always busy so I leave a message and the guy keeps calling me back when I'm on the toilet!! It's been going on for 2 days now!

Only just found out now that Brian Jacques died over a YEAR ago. How did I not hear about this?

A damn shame. He got me into reading fantasy. Rest in peace, good sir, and my eternal thanks.

Ugh, the glorified beancounter who runs my company (not the CEO guy who is my boss, he's nice) is trying to cut costs and seems to at least have been glancing at me (probably largely because he doesn't know all I do here), so MY boss went to bat to show some of what I do...but it still worries the fuck out of me that they were looking at it. Does NOT make me feel good.

When I hear somebody else in the restroom on the phone, I make sure to flush during a pause, so the person on the other end gets the full effect.

But I'm evil like that.

OK, I think I got it, but just in case, can you say the whole thing over again? I wasn't really listening.

Thanks to the science of the internet, I have been fully appraised of a literal mound of fecal matter known as the Amazing Atheist. He has a youtube series and some subhuman fans and I would quite enjoy hearing of his death. He's the guy I think Apt posted a video of where he bitches out at the Loose Women-style show laughing at a dude who was penilely maimed, and if Apt actually enjoys the content this person provides I really hope he learns how bad he is soon! I'd prefer not to post the first quote of his uncovered, so only read this specific quote if you hate yourself.

Spoiler

Oh hey, an image link so you can see his responses yourself (he's terroja)

(no wonder I'm finding grey hairs)

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

IF your boss is defending you against the money guys, you shouldn't worry too hard. When I start to try to cut costs around here, my boss always gets his way, even if my arguments are sound, logical, and backed by reams of figures.

It turns out that I have not been mentioned at all in reference to cost cuts. My dad went to bat to find that out. Thanks for the support though.

So... just to be clear... because i don't want anyone to suggest there was some misunderstanding later... we can recall the ninja cyber-squirrels, right?

Hmmm. I want to say yes to be nice,..but I also want to co-opt the squirrels for my own nefarious purposes.

So there's that.

Look, i have about 90 minutes and then they are outside of the recall envelope and go dark.

Any time after that they go nuts (pun intended) and i cannot be held resposible for what transpires.

Also, you won't get any of your deposit back.

I'm just saying, consider your options here...

Can't get ahold of that UK organisation - keep getting a busy tone. Not sure what to do, or if there is anything I can do.

Tomorrow is going to be unpleasant.

Okay, crisis averted, all is well - after digging around several sites last night I found an email address that I thought might actually be answered, fired off an email before I left work, and this morning, bright and early, I find a reply in my inbox! Huzzah!
