Oh my goodness, I can't look at the news without exclaiming bad words.

Going to distract myself offline for a while, but I leave you with the Best Cow Ever as a distraction for you too.

Very crude commentary on Cameron's return 

But really.

If you can avoid fucking the country this time too that would be splendid.

Very true. I’ve worked in several fields, and none of them work like people who are on the outside think. It's not even close. I was certainly surprised each time. It’s taken me decades to figure this out and internalize it.

Amazingly, almost everyone seems to think they’ve got everyone else's stuff figured out…just like I used to think. (and occasionally still do unfortunately)

Seek out experts. Trust them.

My philosophy: Treat support incidents as mysteries.
Your only goal is to solve the mystery, not fix the computer. Even if you find out the user is doing something wrong (wasn’t the case) well you solved the mystery.
Really I have rarely ever finished a call and resented it.

Always cool to see comments in the wild where I leave an impression

I am not of a tradition that celebrates Diwali but I fucking love it, there's such a beautiful sense of togetherness as the fireworks go off and light up the sky. Warms the heart in these miserable, cold times and I really seeing and hearing it. Happy Diwali to all who celebrate it!

FAO white people: it's Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas. More than a billion people in the world celebrate it. Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and some sects of Buddhists set off fireworks over the days it occurs and is a major religious festival all over the world that happens annually. That's why fireworks are going off ~when it's way after bonfire night~

In a move that does not surprise anyone with half a brain, of course, the english defence league and their associated racists turned up to the cenotaph looking to get violent, with those marching for peace.

That's what those fascists do. They fight the ppl marching for peace, and it turns out the police

I have the best conversations with my mom. I try my best at a translation of the call I just had with her:

phone ringing
Me: Hello m...
Her: Eʟᴅᴇʀ Sᴘᴀᴡɴ.

Her: Try to be punctual.

I always refer to her when people ask me "why are you like this?".
