Already got my 5 for the day. This job occupies a lot of my brain capacity, enough to keep me from going all Matilda. I have not stopped learning here.

going all Matilda

Huh? Haven't heard that phrase before.

Roald Dahl, Matilda, an immensely bright and very sweet kindergartener with an emotionally abusive family and a wildly abusive headmistress at school. She develops telekinesis in response to the immense pressure she's under (emotionally) and her lack of intellectual outlet.

At my previous job, I was about ready to start levitating things with my mind out of boredom, at times. (In between which I was going zomgpanicflail.)

Ah. Never read any Dahl. I was going to say that his books were after my childhood, but checked first. I was mostly right, but his first few children's books were around when I was reading children's books. Oh well.
