Underjoke: the girlfriend is also autistic, and doesn't make eye contact.

I love nano. I used to do tech support for a Linux-based content management system (before SAaS take took off).. The customer sysadmins were sometimes whichever engineer was volun-told to do it, so competency varied wildly.

I helped mostly with installs. This might be the poor newbie sysadmin's first time on the command line. Nano was my go-to suggestion for editing config files--all the commands are right there! Much less intimidating than vi or emacs for a newbie.

I'm a public (state) employee. My name, title, and salary are posted publicly. I don't see why ICE agents shouldn't enjoy that same level of transparency.

My pup gets upset if I'm not home before dark. My partner works from home and gives me updates on how angry the pup is, as soon as the sun starts to set. This dog sits and stares at the front door, tiny ears quivering as he grumbles.

Anyways, I obey my curfew. (He's fine if I get home then leave.)

An aquaintance was told "stop" by plainclothes police. He ran. He'd been mugged before and was convinced it was happening again. He got tackled but was physically fine, just shaken up.

Are you my boyfriend/roommate?

Edit: he and I are both IT folks, but he handles all the Windows issues in the house. I handle Linux issues. He handles the router because it's closer to his desk so it's easier for him to threaten.

Borrowing accessories is fine, though.

Look, I can't be autistic. I fit in perfectly with all my board game geek friends in engineering school.

I really just want to know where the bathrooms and sitting areas are.

Date balder men.

Sure wasn't my industry. It's nearly obligatory to meme your slides and include pictures of your pet(s) on the "any questions" slide.

On the other hand, I'm in libraries. We may be professionals but we're not highly paid 😂
