Things I have done today.

Things I have done today:

Apologized to a contact from several years ago who tried to tell me that he had been attacked by flying squid while on his contact's yacht. It was not that I did not believe him exactly, it was that he admitted that at the time he was partaking of certain illegal substances that may or may not cause mild hallucinations.

He insisted the squid were real, and that was why he could not get me any of the information I needed.

This morning he emailed me this, and demanded a twenty dollar Starbucks gift card.

Dammit, I haven't had to do reclassification like this very much since Pete went to Muir Island.

Time to take another one out of the "stupid excuses our contacts give us while high" folder and put it into the "WTF Nature" folder.

It would not go into the "our contracts try to wheedle free coffee from us" folder?

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

If I had a folder for every time our contacts tried to wheedle free coffee from us, it'd be the size of the server room.

Do we have a folder for "I bought the contact a Starbucks gift card and posted it to them and would like reimbursement through petty cash?"

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Well, _I_ don't.

North might.

I am sure I have a key to the petty cash fund somewhere. Or lockpicks. Or a thief.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

You have multiple thieves, even. And multiple sets of lockpicks.

North's still going to probably want you to fill out a form in triplicate, though.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I need an assistant to fill out forms for me.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

I thought that was why we hired Nico. Or is Amanda not sharing?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I want my own assistant.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

First your own office, now you want your own assistant...what are you going to want next?

This is why I'm afraid of squid.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I would be more afraid of them but even if they are evil, and possibly aerial, they are delicious.

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

One day they'll be our squiddy overlords and you'll wish you hadn't said that.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Squid are intra-species cannibalistic, so I am sure they also think squid are delicious, and will understand my desire to consume them.

[x-siryn.livejournal.com]

Right? Bloody creepy, it is.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

But so delicious.
