There's not enough bitching

[Halbarad]

Eh. You've had almost as much space as the canon itself had originally to develop the characters from your starting point, so a strong divergence at this point is not terribly surprising. The only character that really diverged sharply (IMO, at least) was Haruhi herself, and that one not so bad as to make her unrecognizable.

[Brian]

Er, sorry. :x

Didn't mean to fish for reassurance like that.

Hah, I'm a pathetic mess--


Some really annoying crap at work.  I'm worried it may cost me my job.  Drac can relate some of the stupidity. >_<

I know I haven't exactly contributed anything at all to this forum since my introduction post, but Brian please stop being self-conscious about BDH. It is singlehandedly one of the greatest pieces of fiction I've ever read. I don't claim to be an expert on Haruhi canon by any stretch of the imagination but I can list offhand the ways that what you've done with the characters are completely in character for them.

I don't like kids so why did I volunteer to watch my niece? She's barely walking. o_O

Duct tape her to the ground and she won't be walking at all! =D

Getting into a fight with one of my bosses over a piece of hardware being inadequate (in my view) for customers.

This is where I find out if I just get fired so he can send it out anyway. >_<

That's cruel, unusual, and I have no tape.

I just took her to the park and let her hit empty.

Eh, have some optimism. Would they really fire you over something like this? (I mean, you didn't insult your boss or do something way out of bounds, did you?)

[Brian]

I worry way too much about stuff.

The guy took it extremely well, including the part where I replied to the wrong e-mail thread and said a different piece of hardware was failing and then redacted myself.  I prevented a 50k$ loss ... but not a 12k$ one.

Many tears from the engineering department.  That 'Harbinger' nickname is going to stick withe me now for sure....

On the bright side, no one wants my bad news, so almost no one talks to me at work unless they have to? :x

You've become Harry Creek from The Android's Dream.

Maybe if you play your cards right you can get people to start calling you Stormcrow.

Things like this are how you get callsigns in the military! No callsign ever came from anything good, trust me on this (I know, I have one >.>;).

Harbinger is actually a pretty good one, though! =D

[Brian]

Beats 'Cassandra'.
