"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Here's how I would almost certainly respond to the "try to have a good night" and "see you tomorrow...maybe."

"I used to talk like that when I was 13. I could never say 'I'll do a good job' - I'd qualify it with 'I think I can try to do a good job.' But that's because I was weak and indecisive and waffling and unsure of myself when I was 13. Qualifiers are lame. Don't be a qualifier, chatty!coworker. Be a man."

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

From the NYT thing:

“Having somebody who is really difficult can actually be good for the workplace,” said Jo-Ellen Pozner, a researcher in the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern. “If everyone really hates this one person, it becomes the basis of social bonding for the rest of the group.”

Heh.

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

It finally dawned on me - Chatty!Coworker is a text-based adventure game.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Maybe today would have been better if I had started the day with vitamins.

Or scotch.

What is even happening?

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the first two episodes, bon bon. It was just last night's, and I'd gotten some bad family news in the afternoon, so I don't know how receptive I was.

Have you watched it? I love the quirky premise, and have been impressed by the cast, so I'm willing to give it time. It's nice to have a few half hour shows on my own menu, now. They feel so light after years of drama, you know?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Wash the vitamins down with the scotch.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

It finally dawned on me - Chatty!Coworker is a text-based adventure game.

Heh. "OPEN DOOR." "HAVE A GOOD EVENING."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Although, if they lose to New Orleans, it'll be a lot worse than if they lose in the Super Bowl--one of the local sports news guys said that the whole season would be considered a failure if they lose this weekend.

Clearly, anyone who wants New Orleans to lose is evil and has no magic in their heart. IJS.
