"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Big Boss sent out an e-mail today with a bunch of new "equipment guidelines", and one of the guidelines was that we're only to visit work-related sites.

Clearly, I'm, uh, yeah. Do you think they'd believe me if I said b.org was essential to my daily activities, because without it, I'd flip out like a mammal?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I have used b.org for work-related purposes in the past, you know, panicked and strident demands for information. Therefore I believe that all my use of it is work-related.

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

Have you ever learned something here that has helped you with your job? Is there even a faint possibility that you might learn something here that could theoretically help you with your job?

You could ask us a work-related question. And we could provide unhelpful answers to it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Technical support forum! That's what you guys are.

Of course, I'm also not following the new guidelines because a) I'm the person they call when a computer gets a virus, and that's what prompted the new guidelines, and b) I don't care if they fire me.

What is even happening?

I think this is an off-site Employees Assistance Program. Look at how many of your cow-orkers you have not killed, thanks to us.

We could think outside the box for you.

Way outside....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Of course, I'm also not following the new guidelines

Oh, thank god. I was worried for a second.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I worked at McDonald's senior year of high school, Burger King the summer before college and at a food court deli summer after freshman year. After that, jobs related to my field of study.(Except for the period of time right after I left grad school when I worked at a magazine shop while I looked for a research job)
