Someday I will blog about something other than work and The Dead Isle, but that day is not today.

(Dead Isle Chapter Fifteen is posted!)

Work is quieter after hell day yesterday, at least, and one of my coworkers finally seems to have noticed that while I am not actually here to wipe their noses, I have been filling that role.

Coworker: So I need to register for the conference.
Sam: Yep! Let me know if you need my corporate credit card.
Coworker: I hate doing that.
Sam: *wearily* Well it has to get done today, that's not really optional and it's my ass who has to fix it if you don't do it today. So if you want me to do it, I need your username and password to log into the site.
Coworker: Why...would I make you do that? I can do it, I just don't like it. You're not our dad.
Sam: It's not explicit in the job description, but it's kind of implied.

I'm expecting a gift for Father's Day next year.

Why not this year? It's coming up. You could drop hints.

LOL, has it not already happened? I swore it had.

Nope, it's in June ... it always makes me want to watch Road To Perdition because I am apparently sick in the head. It's always sunny and light until late at that time of year, which makes watching the movie difficult what with the glare on dark scenes. Which is most of it.

You'd make a great dad I bet... or at least an awesome cool uncle.

The college students I work with at my church got me flowers for Mother's Day last year.

Completely unrelated (sorry), but my boyfriend saw the Avengers last night and is talking comic books at me. I don't know comic books but hes talking, talking, talking, and then "Civil War". I said "Oh yeah." "Not the actual Civil War". "Yeah, I know. The superheroes all have to register. And Cap gets killed" "Wait, how do you know this?" "Oh, you know..."

So keep up the good work with your Sam Explains the Comics. You never know when we might find them useful.

LOL, I bet you freaked him right out. :D

The next Discussion is "Wolverine's School For Young Gentlepeople" because in some universe apparently Wolverine being headmaster of a high school made sense.

To be fair, I wouldn't try running a high school with anything less than superpowers and razor sharp claws

.....you make an irrefutably good point.

I too have found them useful! I have a weekly burrito-lunch date with a friend, and it is always on Wednesday so he can go by the comic book shop (I has car, he does not). Our conversations are somewhat eased by my lessons-from-Sam.

Though he loves non-superhero comics as well, and is editor-in-chief of www.spandexless.com.

And my mind went straight to your Torchwood fic called "Job Description," and I thought, well at least you're not in Ianto's position....unless Jack H. works in your office, of course.

Why not try angling for two presents this year? Father tried that - it turns out Father's Day in NZ is completely different from Father's Day in Canada.
