Hey, I have boundaries. It's a shock, I know, but I'm pretty sure the last 100 posts of Natter ran smack up against them, then went back, got a battering ram, knocked them down, went back, jumped up and down on them, went back, and laughed at the wreckage.
I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

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.

Delaware didn't rate a label on that image in sarameg's link. So sad.

Sorry about the mentioning the Senator-who-shall-not-be-named. He'd be funny if he weren't a menace.
Here's a political protest I can support unreservedly (forwarded to me by my old boss):
Subject: FW: Show your support against terrorism
For Friday
The Leaders of the world are asking for your support to combat terrorism and we are being encouraged to demonstrate against these terrorists this Friday at 15:00 hours. It is a well-known fact that the Taliban are against alcohol consumption and think it is sinful to look at a naked woman. Therefore, at 15:00 hours this Friday, all women should run naked through the office while men chase them with a beer in their hands. This is the best way to show our disgust for the Taliban and will hopefully help us in detecting the terrorists amongst us, so anybody who does not do as proposed will be deemed a terrorist, denounced to the world and shot.
Thank you for your participation.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
When I'm looking for a job next year, will you people help me remember that not working for jackasses should be my main goal? And then try to figure out how to make that happen?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
And then try to figure out how to make that happen?

I've known some Zen Buddhists who were jackasses.

Hey, my cousin's husband's father founded a big zen center out in the midwest...but he's dead now.
Huh, a picture of Las Cruces was a PoD on that site: [link]

I'm pretty sure there is no category of employers which is jackass-free as a whole. Sadly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did you ask your boss if he was a jackass?

I suppose you could inquire about the percentage of jackasses during the interview.
