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.

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

Is this not why god invented flip charts?

Flip post-it charts stuck to the walls and desks with post it notes attached. And whiteboarding.

I'm going to die...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

HAVE FUN!

Do you have the magic computerized whiteboard? They have one here, but I haven't seen it in action, so I don't know what it actually does.

We had an hour and a half meeting to suss out how a service could be provided to group X, but we're not the group that should be providing the service. We just know too much about it, so X asked us.

It was strange. No one wants to own it.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Totally OT, but today's MacHall thoroughly cracked me up: [link]

I wish! I'm trying to keep info off the whiteboard, because I don't want to do any transcription. Aside from typing the post its into Excel and Project.

Okay. Unto the breach.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Maybe you could pose while holding a futuristic UFO-destroying gun....

I have a couple of these, though the UFO-destroying capabilities may not be the best. Unless UFOs can be destroyed by lighted plastic guns that make fun noises.

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

No one wants to own it.

Is it a space station? Or, say, my office?

Unless UFOs can be destroyed by lighted plastic guns that make fun noises.

They can be very effective on the bordomites from the planet bordomia when they attack in their beige, brick-shaped UFOs.

OMG, WHY must some people insist on doing phone support for shit that is better left to text? Especially when they are the talk around the problem for 15 minutes and aren't particularly computer competent type?

And this one EXPECTS me to stay on the phone as he futzes and fusses and OY!

I don't need to listen to you explain to me why you can't manage simple widgets that are sort of universal across software.

My ear is going numb.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

RICHMOND, Va. - A rush to purchase $50 used laptops turned into a violent stampede Tuesday, with people getting thrown to the pavement, beaten with a folding chair and nearly driven over. One woman went so far to wet herself rather than surrender her place in line.

I'm not sure how much money I'd have to save before I'd wet myself....
