If I only had a brain...

Yeah, just like my company.

Yeah, and my management will be bitching that your management got shinier horns.

Well, it's probably true.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So I'm moving cubes. Or not. The edict was to have it done by Monday. I'm out of the office tomorrow. My desk isn't packed because Facilities won't give us boxes because they need 10 business days lead time, emergency minimum of three.

I have every intention of a) leaving no later than five and b) not lifting a DAMNED thing myself.

The guy appointed to coordinate the move by our big boss is looking suitably overwhelmed. Doesn't help me any, though.

t thanks every single diety of every single religion that I no longer work for a big corp.

"Facilities", however, remains my own personal image of The Ultimate Evil.

shrift, just remember, Boston was trying to tempt you out this way before we knew you were loaded.

Hey, I was legal when I started posting here, so I've always been loaded.

You weren't loaded before you were legal?

I want Facilities involved. I ain't lifting crap myself, and in my smaller company I'd be moving it all myself.

True. The state of my loadedness is hardly a new development.

Facilities will not move your goodies to the right place. Be honest. Report later if they did.

Being loaded before being in Boston... OK, It could happen.

Always Anti-fascist!

From way back, sexual slavery is what got the girls in the cans in the Wire Season 2. They were all Russian prostitutes.(/The Wire likes Baltimore carrots) But weirdly enough, that was, well, kind of beside the point in the end. Some of the characters called it "white slavery" and some didn't.But although I find Simon brilliant, wouldn't look to him to reflect conversation in polite company, much.

t finds himself opposite erikaj. It is a scary, wrong place.

Sexual slavery and sex for advancement seem different to me.

Melanin aside.
