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]
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
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.

What is even happening?
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.

If I only had a brain...
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)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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).

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.
