It is the prerogative of wizards to be grumpy. It is not, however, the prerogative of freelance consultants who are late on their rent, so instead of saying something smart, I told the woman on the phone, Yes, ma'am. How can I help you today?

Life is too short, Harry. And there's nowhere near enough joy in it. If you find it, grab it. Before it's gone.
Jim Butcher
Image
Because nothing says flattery like a gun to the head.
