Christopher pounds like a herd of bulls across the dry sea grass. (I was looking for a color that describes dead grass.) The closer he drew near, the more she felt the intensify force of gravity boil in her first. One-handed, she release a powerful force push, pinning Chris to the ground.

Since a lot of what they say is by definition irrelevant to the plot should I just skim over it? I'm worried this might make their manner unclear to the reader and I don't want their impression of this character to rely solely on the opinions of the narrator. I feel like including longer sectio...
my massage therapist says that that knot happens from sitting with your arms forward, and that you should stretch your upper chest muscles (I do it by putting my forearm against a door frame then stepping forward)
The other thing I do is put a tennis ball in a sock, then hold the sock so the ball is behind me, then push the ball into the wall with my back, so that it works on the knot.
I mean, realistically, the code is in QA because that's where we find these things.
We've yet to have a totally bug-free code release.
Even after it's been through QA.
Why data driven?
It's just that I always at least perfunctorily checked my site in all four major browsers before I ... Hmm. Actually, I always made changes directly in production. So. whistles
so maybe the loader doesn't work? isn't set up for ie properly? or maybe the data is returned in a format that breaks ie? but I mean, what do I know. I'm just diagnosing bugs on reflex. stomps harder
The 1-back dev is working on a completely unrelated low priority project, while this guy has about six high priority, critical dependency projects that are supposed to deliver in June.
Including one that depends on this release. Not even this release. The one after this.
I'm so going to get fired.
HOW DOES THIS EVEN MAKE SENSE?
> is running in Compatibility View because 'Display intranet sites in Compatibility View' is checked.
He must have updated Angular. I think you're right.
yeah but would you do that on the source file? the .vb file, which I imagine is what the programmers use? anyway this code isn't meant to be redistributed.
I'm going shopping for my eldest's birthday presents in a little bit.
He wants all Star Wars stuff.
And maybe a few other things.
We learned some interesting things about the plan for institutional development yesterday and at the end of the presentation, the security officer sternly reminded us that we all signed a nondisclosure form as a condition of work. We all kind of looked at each other.
And now I've been totally paranoid that maybe I'm not supposed to mention to people that we are redesigning our website.
Which seems weird. I mean, how are we supposed to know what things we aren't supposed to talk about?
It doesn't seem like telling people that we plan to increase production is a violation of nondisclosure. It's kind of "well, duh".
kinda like PCI compliance. It seems specifically worded to avoid any concrete rules while leaving enough leeway to throw anyone under the bus should their systems get hacked.
@AlexandroChen A few days ago I saw a comment on one of your questions where you and another user were discussing a forum you were both active on, where writers critique each other works. I can't find the comment again, do you know which forum I am talking about?
So Monday, first thing I have to do is cancel a "gateway" meeting because I still haven't finished the work despite working over the weekend.
I email the team. I tell them the dev and I talked, and he agreed that he would choose the sections he wanted to start with, then I'd schedule a meeting and we'd approve those pieces so that he could move things forward.
Today, the big boss emails and tells me that this needs to get done because development is stopped and the dev is trying to move forward and can't.
He has replied all to the email where I said the dev was going to prioritize the sections and then I'd call the meeting, mind you.
So I replied that I agreed, and I was waiting on the dev.
So annoyed right now.
Then the dev emailed back and said "What are you waiting on me for?"
after 10x back and forth between the question, Paper or Plastic? and various digressions, we then have to explain what paper is, what plastic is, what the question means, and why we're asking it.
I'm so angry right now. I need to focus and find my calm spot. The good news is that I'm almost done with the whole thing anyway.
At this point.
Including the bits that he sprang on me in the last meeting.
The ones that he was all like "no, we don't need reqs for this thing. I didn't include you because we don't need reqs" and then in the approvals meeting, he turns to his boss and is all like "I can't do this without reqs; can you believe she wants me to do this without reqs? I mean, what are these buttons supposed to do?"
Also, I'm irritated that one of our sponsor's has a font substitution or something on his Mac, so his display of the title menu looks weird. There's a white gap that no one has fixed.
I've half a mind to reply "I'm unclear on what your expectation is."
He doesn't listen in meetings either though.
We had a meeting last week and I described to him what I needed him to tell me. Basically, "I have this stuff from this system. The users wanted it displayed in one of these components. How do I write the spec so that you know what they want?"
He responded by thinking deeply and then telling me I should get the stuff from the system.
I have a problem when comes to being descriptive in my fiction writing. How do some of you guys be descriptive in your writing, I need some help.
For example: I'm writing a scene where a female character is feeling sad. She falls to knees, cheeks are warm, eyes are watery, and she cups the side...
