I'm super happy for the times we got to pass within high-five distance during the insane whirlwind that is MFF.

Thanks again for all the help/hosting/acting/costuming/being awesome/hanging out you did!

It sends me through a stupid voice-controlled phone tree until I finally get to tell it that I want to pay my bill, and then it puts me on hold for a real person.

" And people just nod along and agree.

Everyone is acting like this is normal. No one is questioning the enormous logical leaps. I guess they're all used to it. It sounds so crazy I don't know where I'd even start.

He's in here asking people for specific DB table names and writing them down in his notes. Then he says shit like, "I'll tell the team to leverage the <random association table> technology for the <huge new initiative involving an assload of data that doesn't relate to that table at all>.
