Cephalopod Dreams... - Consultancy

Why cephalopod? Why nameless?

Why cephalopod? Well, the reason for that is simple. Squid rock. They're smart, they have tentacles and they can change the colour of their skin. What more could you want?

Why nameless is a bit more tricky. Obviously, I have a name. Unfortunately, it's a rather common name, and so to deal with the number of people sharing it amongst my friends, we all gained prefixes. Mine was nameless, and as a name, it's kind of stuck.

Consultancy

me: Man, I need to start charging for consulting.
Joshua: haha. I agree. what happened today?
me: Today I have: debugged 3 programs, installed linux once, backed up the hard drive of a laptop before I try something risky to restore the file system, written several ruby scripts to help people and provided 1 pen.
Joshua: hahaha
Joshua: "pen, black, 1 count: £30"
me: hahaha
me: I'd need to be a professional consultant to charge that.
Joshua: true
me: Especially since I got the pen back.
Joshua: hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
