In which I am a child

selenayCurrently around my company there are projects happening to secure and lock down various systems, removing obsolete code etc etc.
Unfortunately, they've decided to describe this activity as "hardening" the systems.
So we're all smirking and giggling every time we have to meet to discuss a hardening project, or reference that someone is hardening something, or question whether something has been hardened yet.
(We haven't had the guts to ask "Is system X hard?". Yet.)
I'm sorry, my team is a bunch of children at heart. Even the boss :-D
I was a good girl and did my wording last night. I'm staggering towards the novel finish line, one day at a time. I'm almost done with the big boss battle, and after that, it's just the tidy-up and the happily ever after. Woo hoo!
Agents of SHIELD is back, which means Tuesdays have become a dilemma. Do I watch AoS or Holby? I could watch both, but realistically, I never have enough time to watch two hours of telly in one evening. Last week, Holby won, but I think AoS is going to be winning from now on. My twitter feed has far more AoS fans and it's hard to hide from spoilers until I watch on Wednesdays.
And with Serena on sabbatical, the potential for rogue Berena spoilers has gone way down. Woe. By the time she's back, AoS will probably be on hiatus. I'm not so worried about accidentally catching a Dom spoiler. Not because I don't care and am not anxious for someone to rescue him from Isaac, but because I know that it has to happen eventually and it will make me less anxious to know his rescue is coming up. My feelings about Holby spoilers are not like my feelings about all other spoilers.
I'm debating whether I go back to paid status here, as a gesture of support for DW providing a sanctuary for all the new LJ refugees and totally not because I want all my icons back DEFINITELY NOT THAT.

Also heh at your team's sniggering.

As you can tell from all the sniggering.
(Seriously, did nobody thinking through the consquences?)
