pfft. they signify nothing. and while I suppose anyone can buy some class rings, I do know if schools that require a certain # of hours before they can be purchased. double pfft.
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

So, Matt, what is the deal? Overtime is just another name for unpaid work? Not a good way to encourage a strong work ethic, I'd imagine.
I suspect it's only just dawned on her that the way that's worded means putting deadlines in a crunch-prone business at the mercy of resentful workers whose motivation to put in more than 40 hours has been eliminated.
I mean, in the past I've had no real objection to working long hours (within reason), but that was with the expectation of either getting paid for them or receiving compensatory time off. Somehow I don't see working nights and weekends out of sheer gratitude for a company that's now throwing up roadblocks to me taking time off that I've already earned and making me get up at the crack of dawn so everyone's hours look the same on a chart somewhere.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think "baby bag" works better, really.
Pimp cups are a signifier of ... nothing. In fact, I deem them bling-wannabe.

Bradley uses the term "baby box" for uterus?!?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
(for instance, he thinks "uterus" is too technical a term for mothers-to-be, so he says "baby box"),
HAHAHA!!
Matt, are you an exempt employee or not? They don't have to pay exempt employees more for working longer hours, right?

Okay, this is fascinating, in a sad way. Two kids, one dead, one alive got mixed up in the tsunami effect because "all European kids look alike to me". [link]

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Bradley's definitely a nutty guy (for instance, he thinks "uterus" is too technical a term for mothers-to-be, so he says "baby box")
Good lord, how patronizing. Has any one suggested to him that mothers-to-be and post-lobotomy are two different catagories?

Sandra Bullock donated a million. Sharon Osbourne gave more than he did. Ah, well. It's become a media-highlighted pissing contest.
A co-worker just (cheerily) told me he has something to give me that's not appropriate at work. Then he disappeared.
