I also have Grammarly installed. Grammarly has an interesting feature where it tries to gauge your tone.

Gah.

Freakin Grammarly.

I sometimes have YouTube music mixes playing while I'm working. There is nothing more HULKSMASH inspiring than rolling around on the floor for days trying to figure out how to write a novel only to be interrupted with a full blast ad:

"WRITING'S NOT THAT EASY! FORTUNATELY GRAMMARLY CAN HELP!"

Really? Really Grammarly? Writing's not that easy?! Can you help?! CAN YOU HELP ME NOT SUCK AT WRITING NOVELS?! CAN YOU MAKE THIS CHARACTER ANYTHING LESS THAN A WOODEN CLICHE PUPPET DESERVING ONLY OF THE FLAMES OF ETERNAL HELL?!

HRGH!

Ok. There. I feel better now.

I'm detecting an angry tone.

People are still telling me their problems. Thankfully I'm done digging the trench, unfortunately that means I'll now have six people asking me "why are you filling it up with that?" Plus I have block on site now, so I can expect a s*~@load of questions about those, which I've already answered three times in the half hour since they were dropped off.

Oh, I know the answer to this one. I pull the lever, diverting the trolley away from CY and onto the side track where it hits the people pestering him, killing all six pests.

Don't tell me I Kant do that.

Oh, I think I've heard this one.

Was just followed for ten blocks by a half dozen bluebirds and bunnies and I'm pretty sure this means I'm a Disney princess now.

Can I still say the word f#&%?

Only in song.

That goes against our design protocols.

NobodysHome: Oh, are you working on your psychology homework?

Impus Major: No, I'm working on a comparative chart of things to wipe your butt with. From top to bottom is "adhesive" to "slippery", and from left to right is, "abrasive" to "smooth".

That's going to cost some points.

Did you just get rebooted? Been there.

I've been working with the software's tech support for the last 4 hours.

The cats have started begging for breakfast, like I'm running some sort of hotel around here or something.

This is ultimately going to lead to a migraine. Also a good possibility of smelling colors and hearing light.

The good news is that nobody can submit tickets to IT right now, since that's the borked upgrade and we're having to completely reinstall the older version and restore the database.

There's a smile on my face, but I can't figure out why.

Oh, have you been around magnets? Magnets make it hard for me to do my job, too.

Have you ever tried fencing with a harmonica in your mouth?

No, but I have tried playing harmonica with a sword in my hand.

I bet I can. I am probably the most advanced Janet.
