"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Hah! Your counter-revolutionary obscurantism will not be allowed to undermine my production quotas, of which I have many.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Sue I miss you all the time.
She's standing on guard for you, Sue.

Hush, you, or I'll turn you into a robot. The parts are coming in this week!

Aw.
She's standing on guard for you, Sue.
Well, she doesn't have to stand on guard all the time. She can take a break and be earwormed with Prince or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dammit! I was looking forward to my 11am being offsite.
It's been a while since I was irritated at having the conference call option.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This is brilliant: Asshole Notification Cards.
I am still not making my last four calls. Instead I am watching Adam's Rib. Possibly I should do some research online so as not to waste time entirely.

I think I've told the story here before of my colleague in graduate school who went into his annual review with a wild west style holster and two pistols (very obviously fake, and nobody who knew the man would have thought for a minute it was a serious thing).
If I get asked in my annual review (we're doing them in March, this year, marking the 3rd different annual review process in my 3.5 years of employment) where I want to be in 5 years the answer will certainly be "not working here." In fact, if I'm working here in 1 year I'll be sorry. In 5 years I'd also like to be: neither pregnant nor breastfeeding and with children who sleep through the night; a homeowner; not living in the south, or anyplace else it doesn't snow; possessed of a desire for an actual career.
Also, in 5 years I'll be 38. Ugh.
