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

jobs with beautiful campuses don't exist in NYC.

Yeah--this campus is definitely a product of having started off in the boonies and then having civilisation come to them. They have 30 odd buildings on it, with thousands and thousands of employees. My mother laughs when I call things like that campuses, because she's a university employee on an absolutely beautiful campus (with ruins from the slavery days).

Actually, gov't jobs would probably be ideal for you, timewise and securitywise, msbelle. I mean, hell, I'm in a nominally gov't job (subcontract) that's highly dependent on year-to-year congressional whims (and things that could go boom) and despite the rounds of well-predicted layoffs which suck, it's pretty fucking hard to get overworked or fired unless you are really egregious. I mean, come Oct 31, I'll know what is coming next September, due to fiscal cycles.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They have 30 odd buildings on it, with thousands and thousands of employees.

Yowza. That's so far beyond anything I've ever experienced, I can't even tell you. I've never worked anywhere with more than a few hundred employees, and that was spread over the city. My current place has like 65, nationwide.

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

Please someone get that....

Sorry, I don't. Maybe only people who suck do.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I suck, I don't get it.

eta: Heh, sucky xpostage.

Boo creepy foot doctor! (YouTube link.)

t edit In fact, I think that calls for a new tag....

t edit again I think Boo Creepy Foot Doctor ranks right up there with the Nextel Dancing Guys commercial in my category of Always Funny To Teppy.

Oh that is just wrong, wrong, wrong and a side of wrong. Thanks for the link! (I think)

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

I worked for a private-sector company that had 200K+ employees (3M). Great(-ish) campus. Freedom to spend 20% of your time 'exploring' -- as long as it didn't impact your deadlines, or muck with the anyone's Gantt chart. Which is to say: No 'exploring'.

The money and hours sucked, but the admins seemed to be happy(-ish). They didn't seem to care if a product shipped or not.

I'm just not sure I could live that way.
