Reminds me of the Welsh soccer fan who cut off his own testicle and then walked to the local pub to show it off. [link]

My employer does not have nap rooms. We do have comfy massage chairs and wireless. Maybe I should take my laptop to a massage chair and work meditate.

Man, I'm trying to think of bathrooms that have couches. Maybe I'll go to the student center- there are always students sacked out in every damn corner. May be a little too early in the semester for the napping to start in earnest though.

I have the worst crick in my neck, and it won't go away, and I have no massage opportunities. I am thinking about going home sick, because it Will Not Go Away and I cannot turn right at present.

I have a pinched nerve as a memento from whiplash sustained in a car accident, about 10 years ago. The Bitches recommended this pillow. Scott picked one up for me over the weekend, and I'm finally without my cervical collar (after donning it a week ago, Sunday), today. It's lovely.

Well, if you're going to be unsympathetic, I won't point out that there are NO CUPCAKES for dessert today.

Here are the dessert options: Buttermilk Panna Cotta with Tropical Fruit, Honey Ricotta Cheesecake, Black & White Cookies, Mocha Nut Butter Cookies, Chocolate Pudding (wheat free)

I was in the "quiet room" at school the other day, and a guy started snoring. So, not too early where I am!

It depends on the bidder, I imagine. I'm trying to imagine what I'd say.

Oh yeah, I would be an idiot. But still -- it costs no money, you don't have to be in the same place, it's completely personal and exclusive, and cool!

Also, love that todger-man's name is "Yankow".

Nice bit of cause-effect there, especially now.

In news of me, I really really need the Exec VP to call me now! If he doesn't get back to me on this project in the next fifteen minutes, I won't be able to go to the gym today. Call me!

No sir, that's tough. He's a professional athlete. If he can play, he should be out there.

While I respectfully disagree with you on that one, I can't help but notice that my point about TOTALLY EFFED UP PRIORITIES remains unchallenged.

Also, people, for crying out loud, if you're falling apart for whatever reason at work on a Friday afternoon, TAKE A HALF SICK DAY!!!

Betsy, if you hadn't built up so much Betsy-capital over the years, I'd have trouble feeling warmly toward you, never mind sympathetic. You have massage chairs (!!!) AND dessert choices. I have dessert choices too, I suppose, if you consider Oreos or Goldfish a choice (never mind a dessert).

Just happened in my office:

new person filling in at Director level: (calls IT guy) I have this report you sent me and I can't get it to print out right.
IT guy: Well I am in the middle of running some things. can it wait?
Me: (to IT guy) I'll go help her
Me: (to new person): What is the problem?
New Person: (Show me printout rhat is not lined up correctly.)
Me: You need to change it to landscape. @@@@@@@@@@
New Person: REeeelllllly?!? That's it? Now where did you do that? I need to be carerful what I say in here if you overheard that phone call.
Me: ayup @@@@@@@
IT guy: THANK YOU!
Me: tossers who don't know basic computer stuff and think the IT dept is their personal help desk.

Dude, we are a start up, we are all doing like 8 things at once and NO ONE has the time to chat with you or come help you 5 times a day.
