The year is 2025. We are still trying to provide explanations of contributions to ATLAS TDAQ into a web form with 80 character limits. Technology is hard.

Dear students: Despite endless reminders and nagging and explanation, way too many of you are still plagiarizing your lab reports. Not only is it unethical, but it will also affect your grade. Another consequence is that it's a lot more work for me! Please stop. Love, Jahred

Looking to write Terry Pratchett crossover fan fiction for the younger kids. It'll be called 'A Hat Full of Sky'. It's about a flying dog named Sky who happens to be a witch that saves the day.

Microsoft UI engineer: Let's unnecessarily move the Outlook mobile app action buttons from the top to the bottom of the screen. Second engineer: Oooh that'll distract users from this shitty product. Great idea!

Just booked a meeting with my PO using an awful online Microsoft tool.It did not tell me what time zone I was booking for, so I assumed it was for the person I'm trying to talk to (east coast). But *after* I booked it told me I picked a time in Chicagoland.Though I'm not there, I'm at CERN. #$@%$$%.

Isn't the scandal here that anyone would ever want to attend a Coldplay concert? Listening Coldplay is surely grounds for divorce.

The look on 7YOs when I explained I took very few books back with me from Geneva and the exception was Terry Pratchett! He's off to find the next Tiffany Aching books from our shelves. Now if only I knew how to not sound like a NYer in Scotland with a verbal tick when reading Nac Mac Feegle dialog
