When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

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

Also, three years younger than I.

This one is the best of all.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Plei! I mailed you something on Friday. I hope you get it today, and that it didn't get too smooshed.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Why didn't I flirt? WHY? Now he's gone. 4eva.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

When you tell me everything is "urgent" or needs to be done "ASAP," it would be helpful if you also told me which things have actual deadlines and when they are.

When my boss does that, I say “boss, I have 5 urgent things on my desk. What’s the most urgent.” And then I say “boss, I have 4 urgent things on my desk, what’s the most urgent?” and so on. Of course, my boss isn’t a jackhole, he just forgets what I’m doing sometimes.

World domination while refraining from killing stupid co-workers?

What kind of domination refrains from killing stupid people? Come on, that’s the REASON for the revolution!

I love that the baby gorilla is wearing the EXACT same newborn cap that they put on Owen. So. Freakin'. Cute.

So rare in this nerd preserve.

Nerd preserve. That's one I haven't heard. HA!

Why didn't I flirt? WHY? Now he's gone. 4eva.

Might he be back for a job or an internship? One where he needs lots of assistance from the cute but snarky administrative chick with fantastic hair?

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

Gack. I can peg the work moments that set the head off. Just a wee bit of frustration, combined with having to talk, and boom!

Off to sleep through lunch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

When my boss does that, I say “boss, I have 5 urgent things on my desk. What’s the most urgent.” And then I say “boss, I have 4 urgent things on my desk, what’s the most urgent?” and so on.

I do this when he starts in with "Let me know if you can't get this done today" at 4:30. But usually his "urgent" means nothing, so I don't sweat it and do what I want. And then he gets worked up. And I can't see the computer screen anymore due to eyerolling.

Tom, I'd suggest you add as a goal, "Continue not to be a jackhole," because that seems so rare in the workplace these days.

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

Tom, I'd suggest you add as a goal, "Continue not to be a jackhole," because that seems so rare in the workplace these days.

In fact, I'd say this is good advice for all Toms....
