I also enjoyed Avitus' betrayal.

Avitus and Tarkus had really good ones, in different ways.  So many ways to be corrupted.
Thaddeus's was better than I expected, though.  I expected rage like Avitus, but actually no...  It was more like Tarkus, and tied into the end of the original DoW2.

Had a major sale today, 50% off everything. Never done that one before at this store as far as I know.

I arrived at 7:30, I have to be there at 8, and we don't open until 9. There was already people standing outside trying to get in to shop.

That asshole I've been trying to get fired comes in during lunch(which was later than usual due to ordered pizza), clocks in, then goes to sit down and eat pizza rather than going to his job(which was different then normal, hence a later time coming in). Not only was he eating our pizza on the clock, he took the cheese and toppings off of a slice and left the stripped slice in the box. That's... that's one of the greatest pizza sins there are.

Nearly had the place burn down by the end of the day, when one of the operations crew came in on her lunch, put something in the microwave, and then the plate caught fire. If I hadn't volunteered to be cleaning the break room, and happened to be cleaning the microwave ovens at that very moment, that fire would have gone unnoticed until it was too late. I took the burnt plate, paper but with some kind of shiny material on the top side, wrote a warning not to put foil plates in the microwave, and posted it near the ovens.

Hey, a study found that older workers are more adaptable to new tech than millenials are:

I guess having gone through multiple generations of tech is worth something after all.

Who is this?

"Hello, I call from the department of -redacted-. I have this  test results for this patient.."

But I never treated that person...

"Oh, that's right, but maybe you can aid me with the case? See the results are unusual, and maybe you could provide insight"

Ok... wait a second, this can't be right. This patient died -redacted- months ago

"Nevermind, check the file anyway to find out what was the problem"

...and was nearly a hundred years old ..

"Well, yes, but it doesn't matter right? I mean, you sometimes provide treatment elderly people right?"

Well, yes... to living ones, that is...

"Oh well nevermind, I'm sending you the report anyway OK?"

...ok...



Mind you, this is a highly redacted version. The actual conversation took nearly an hour. It was pretty surreal.

I like Jonah's better, mostly because it's not "I am evil now!" and instead "was possessed all along".

Of course, there's always the super-spoilery 100% purity traitor. He would be the most awesome if he wasn't also brutally hard.

Sitting here doing my thing at a public building, and every few minutes one of the tiny birds outside flies up out of the bushes and slams head-first into the window beside me. This hasn't happened on previous visits.

They must have cleaned the windows.

As amusing as that would be, watching the employees attempt to catch small birds in a room that's almost two stories tall in itself, I am not capable of opening the window without shattering it to pieces. It doesn't open, and it looks expensive.

I guess having gone through multiple generations of tech is worth something after all.

Specifically, the claim is that they tend to have much less trouble putting up with older, clunkier hardware and software at work (primarily because they're much less likely to have top-of-the-line gadgets at home to compare to daily), but are also quite eager to get rid of the clunkyness when new tech becomes available.

My wrist suddenly, out of nowhere, started hurting much more than normal. So much so that I have to wear my splint and probably couldn't play any games that require a lot of mouse movement. It isn't usually this bad at all.
