first time on Plurk since a week ago Sunday. Fried Motherboard, just got the computer back this evening.

one of my co-irkers is retiring; her last day is tomorrow. I am a bit melancholy, for I know I am a better person for having known her. I shall wish her well in the next stage of her life, but I shall miss her.

I really know how to pick a week to take off work. Rain every single day in the forecast.

using Linus Lacombe as my name, I am "...made of jade, adobo, and neon. With a dash of Rick Astley."
