They're generally not around much, but this new one seems to live near me. I'm thinking about putting up a fort. I keep asking, but management keeps saying no...
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think Diet Coke is all aspartame, and Coke Zero is aspartame and something else. The marketing push is all along the lines of "It tastes like regular Coke!" which isn't true, of course, but it might taste more like regular Coke than their other diet varieties. (I actually prefer the taste of aspartame to HFCS, so I wouldn't know.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

My BF said same, Coke Zero and Pepsi One are supposed to taste like Coke and Pepsi respectively.

All I want is a freakin' door to keep them away from me but so far I've been denied. Something about a door on a cubicle being silly. rasenfrasenboss

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Welcome back, Hil!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've been asked to approve a list of 2005 objectives, of which, at the time, one objective was unattainable in general, one was unattainable as stated, and two are not things I can control.
These objectives are what I'll get evaluated against when I get the year's bonuses.
I'm tempted to not approve the list, because in my line of work that sort of specificity in goals is pointless, and completely fails to recognise my actual job goals and how they align with corporate directives.
On the other hand, I should be able to get 50%, and, well, free money.
I feel an attack of Corporate Whore coming on.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Can you approve with comments, ita?

Nope. It's completely set in stone. All or nothing. I tried to discuss it with my boss, who let the talk go on way too long considering I CAN DO NOTHING.

I don't get any bonus next year. And, I suspect, I get looked at funny by upper management I need to not alienate.
AND I dropped chocolate on my (admittedly dark) pants and tried to brush it off with a warm hand.
