Work
I've been taken off the phones for the time being to do a billable project due by the first of August. At one level, it's interesting to do a spot of proper programming. On another level, I'm reminded why I quit the last pure programming job I had.

And I want to mightily smite my cow-orkers. Or rather, just one in particular. Perhaps I should nickname her Paris. But were I to do so it would be entirely out of spite. Hence using pseudonyms on the Internet becomes a reflection of the battle for cosmic justice going on within my soul.

Regardless, this needs to be short because of aforementioned project.
