Friend: ".... She'll have breakfast potatoes and wheat toast."

It's unclear who that is, but her friend is very patiently convincing her that Kermit can get new water after Recovery Girl finishes *her* water.

I work for a financial institution and have a pretty senior position, but I still have to do a lot of 'training'

Every quarter we have to do 'IT training' that's basically 'dont open phishing emails, don't give out personal information of our clients' and 'everything you do can be tracked, including internet usage and we can read your emails and teams whenever we want.'

Have at it.

I've worked there seven years and they've never once said anything about me reading the news, AO3, Google docs, anything. So I figure 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ I'm fine. They block all social media, but never blocked AO3.

Cut to today.

There are exactly two people in the company I like.

I'm outside decompressing with said two people as we do for 15 minutes at the end of everyday before we go home to our families. Kinda like wiping away the ick of the day.

IT guy: so what's ao3?

Me: what?! Why would you ask me that?

IT: because outside of sites related to your job, that's your most visited website

Me: you guys actually track that?!

IT: yeah we just don't give a shit. Unless you're being audited or investigated we don't give two fucks. So what's ao3?

My other friend is laughing her ass off.

Friend: OH MY GOD ISN'T THAT WHERE YOU READ YOUR WEREWOLF PORN?!

IT: enough said. Hope it's good at least.

we have a security audit in 2 weeks and he said he scrubbed my ao3 life from my work PC but I'm free to continue after said audit.

Day 14: a fic rated T

Digging for the Bones by Paganaidd

Sorry, it's only accessible for people with an AO3 account.

Rather than allowing Harry to stay at Diagon Alley after he blew up Aunt Marge, the Ministry sends Harry back to the Dursleys. Harry returns to school after a terrible summer, to find that he's not the only one with this kind of secret. A student has been killed by his family. New screening measures are put into place by the Ministry: Every student must be given a medical exam and interview to look for child abuse. With Dumbledore facing an inquiry, Snape is entrusted with the task of making sure EVERYONE receives one.

and he does ... and SO much happens, it was incredible and very satisfying to read!

Unfortunately, this marvellous work has remained unfinished, even though it says it is complete, it leaves many questions unanswered. I doubt the author is still active, but I hope he/she/them finds a way back to this masterpiece at some point and fill all the unanswered thoughts with content.
