Mmm... A TV made for both het and slash.
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

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.

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

Yup. Everyone knows I'm coasting in this job, but if they give me goals and I meet those goals, then there's no reason for them to bitch that I'm not making 130% of goal regularly, is there? If I put my efforts into overdrive, I can cream any and all requirements, but the reward isn't worth it. Yeah, there are production bonuses and such, but they're not worth the stress I'd have to put myself under to achieve them.
My biggest advantages are over a decade of experience in this very job, encyclopedic knowledge of obscure things that keeps me from needing my hand held in strange situations, understanding our clients' processes to the point where I've helped design some of our production processes, and the willingness to be here until the sun goes cold.
I don't get gold stars, but I don't get glared at too much, either.

I can't even.
"You're clever, charismatic, and lazy. We'll be talking often. Fix it."
I had a boss savvy enough to say this to me once. I outlasted him. Dude, if I wanted a senior management job with a 30% pay increase and a 200% hours increase, I'd have one.

Argh. I thought maybe my boss would leave early and I could get out of doing my review this week because I'm feeling like death on toast, but noooo. He just stopped by and asked me to fill out my form thingy. And I can't even drink when I get home tonight. Christ.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I assumed the TV ad was jokey.
I think Nate is my new boyfriend. Too bad he's apparently a college kid in another part of the country. I swear to god, I want weapons (of whatever kind) that come out of my sleeves SO BAD, but clearly not enough to make them myself.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The first thing that I thought of when I read about the male/female TV was that Saturday Night Live commercial for "The Love Toilet."

Jesse you scare me.
I had a very unsatisfactory lunch. Now I am already thinking about what I will have for dinner. I think it may involve ice cream.
erranding was successful AND I think I may have found the non-cheapo sunglasses I am gonna buy with my flex spend money. these..

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just did some proactive things. Now I'm going to nap in my car.

I'm watching the OC, and am considering a shower.

Oh, I almost forgot. Yesterday I got some money from the big tobacco company lawsuit settlement! What should I spend it on? Too bad I don't smoke. Maybe I should buy a single cigar. (The money went to the estate of my uncle. My share was about $15.00.)
