I despise "strongly encouraged" meetings with every iota of my cold little heart.
Buffy: How bored were you last year? Giles: I watched 'Passions' with Spike. Let us never speak of it.

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Is it possible to be allergic to envelope glue?
They used to (maybe still do, I haven't checked into it) put corn starch in envelope glue, which I am allergic to, so, yeah.
No, I don't know why glue needs corn starch.

I think your brainstorm should be "hire more people. Do the &*^#! work. No 6 pm meetings."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
6pm meeting is the suck. I'm preemptively annoyed about the meeting I have on Thursday in deepest New Jersey at 4:30, but at least I had prior warning!

I think you have to provide alcohol at my workplace if you schedule a meeting after 4:30 that doesn't involve the mission crashing and burning. There are a lot of staff who leave at 4 or earlier, having arrived before dawn.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
A 6pm meeting is ridiculous. I thought the CIO's 4:30pm on Friday meetings were bad.
ION, one of our directors brought in a bunch of chocolate bars. It was bad enough that I had the first one, but then I had to go get a second a couple hours later. Oy. I wish I dealt with stress in ways that didn't involve eating crap.
IOON, the Mythbusters' latest movie myth special was good stuff. I got an inordanite amount of glee out of watching a real sword cleave a stainless steel replica clean through.
ETA: Well, crappity. Kodak changed the terms of service for their on-line galleries. Now you have to buy something from them once a year or they'll delete your pictures. Is not enough I have one of their stupid cameras?

I *just* realized why one of the tech's at the vet's office looks so familiar: she bears a passing resemblence to Abby on NCIS. Same hair, coloring, personal style, chirpy warm personality.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
6:00 meetings should definitely include alcohol, for those who choose it.

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
