I just saw that Baz Luhrmann met Felix from Stray Kids and my greatest wish for life (outside of seeing one of my books made into TV/a movie), would be to see the Baz Luhrmann version of Labyrinth with Felix as Jared. If this skeet makes sense to you, we can be friends. Unless you disagree with it.

I completely sympathize with your hate of Jira, but could you possibly use some of that hate to delete some of the ten thousand tickets you've created and left in backlog over the past 5 years because you might want to do them someday?
