nursemyra: I’m afraid so. My boss is so paranoid about people deleting files that he sometimes does it himself to break the suspense. anicker: Is that the one with the guest comic in it?
job security… and as i’ve found having lost many back ups, it’s easier to write a document the second time. may take you only 75% of the time the first one did….

Addendum:
Change back to the old shit.

Kykles, this is where you start slotting in phrases like ‘fuck’ and ‘cretin’ in between the lines to see if they actually notice.
