My wife told me she’ll slam my head into the keyboard if I don’t get off the computer.

I’m not too worried though — I think she’s just jokindkdkslalkdlkfjslfjslksdlkfjuahehwhgwdklaljdf

The endless updates to our ticketing system just piss me off. Most of it isn't necessary, wastes time trying to figure out new screen flows but worst of all adds absolutely nothing.
