Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dude, I'm so close to becoming hippy dippy new age person that it's scaring me.

I think i'd rather go back to my usual pinko-lefty ways.

You know those two sets of ways often go hand in hand, right?

I really think the whole "forced amount of time at a desk, between certain hours thing" is a bullshit tool of the patriarchy.

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

Agreed. This is why I spend that time on the internets, because it's a revolution, mang.

This is what I'm saying! THE MAN CAN'T HOLD ME DOWN, MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

ION, could it be right that I apparently bought shelf-stable cheese? It's in saag paneer, but still. That seems weird.

Yeah, Jesse, I can see how the man is holding you down.

Oh fun Ayuverda TriDosha test: [link]

Yes. I see how the pinko lefty-hippy dippy are related. but hippy dippy is way too Californian for me. I want to go back to being enveloped in rage at the system instead.

sadly, I'd rather do downward dog.

Ooh, are they actually trying to get me in the middle of who is responsible for not sharing information? Guess what? I can guarantee I was not the one who was supposed to share the information. I'm the temp! Christ.

Temps should get automatic neutrality in office kerfluffles. Sort of like an underpaid Switzerland.

I'm actually a well-paid temp, but yet? Still not the person responsible for transmitting information between two department heads, one of whom said she would talk to the other one.

They want to bring it? It's already been broughten.

Oh, cool.

When I temped I was fairly underpaid. But the person paying for me constantly bitched about my paycheck. Turns out she was bitching about what she paid to my temp agency, which was about three times what I was making. Hmmmmmm. 15 years later and I'm still a tad bitter. Go figure.

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

That's the temp market for you. Still, it seems like really bad form to bitch to any kind of employee about having to pay them -- and why do I suspect that she was the type who constantly reminded her children of how expensive they were to raise?
