The thing about serial killing is that it requires you to leave the house and meet new people, and frankly, that sounds like a lot of hassle I don't need.

The amount of times I've heard someone say 'its for the farmers' as if farmers have ever given a fuck what the clock says.

My grandfather would tell stories of how the planet used to be covered in plants and you could breathe the air outside. Back when the sky was blue.

I once told a new guy not to stress over the Champagne because they bounce if you drop them.

I managed to stop him spiking the bottle into the floor.

If it isn't on your shelves (or server) it isn't your library, it's someone else's access.

For once, this is a form that does what sovcit thinks it does, fill it in and you will no longer have a driving license.

What happens next will surprise them, but the form does work.

Now remember people, it has to be exactly 45°. They will check so make sure you get a protractor or a carpenter's square.

A lot of them assuming you don't get the required secondary powers.

Super speed, if your perceptions aren't heightened it rapidly becomes impractical, if they are things are going to get painfully boring real quick. Even thinking at double speed means you are going to be waiting for the world to catch up a lot. Never mind what even relatively low G-forces can do to someone.

Super-hearing. Imagine if you really could hear conversations a block away, it can be hard enough discerning one conversation in a crowded room, imagine it being like that everywhere. All the rats and insects you will be hearing, the sound of people's clothes rubbing together. Even if normally loud things aren't deafening just focusing on one thing will be taxing.

If you don't get secondary powers then super strength is going to suck. The human body is already capable of injuring itself with its own strength. How many fastball pitchers get arm or shoulder injuries just from throwing something really fast, or power-lifters who have something break or burst. Modern sporting records are starting to push up against the structural limits of the human body.

If it's sending information to Microsoft then it has clearly been hacked. Likely by Microsoft. It was very nice of that young man to break protocol and blow the whistle on this whole thing. You should send him an itunes gift card as a thank you.

There is a bit of truth here. Toxic culture and out of touch management will make people walk as well.

Thing is, there might just be a wad of cash big enough to make me put up with that against my health interests.

Fuck ping pong tables though. No one left a company because they didn't have enough fucking table sports. If you think they are then you are the problem. Exit interview your own fucking arse.
