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.
The latest episode of QI has just informed me that there's a species called "the paradoxical frog." I may have to change my LJ name again.
Hee. QI is good exercise. I watched a couple more episodes, and I pretty much spend the entire half-hour shaking with laughter.
an excellent way to get free soda
I never think of free soda as worth making a phone call for, unless it's free soda for life.
If I could email it in, then maybe. But talk to an entire human being? Possibly possibly if I were taking it back to the place I bought it. But only if I were going back there anyway. I'm sort of lazy.
Yeah, I woulda just said, "huh."
Oh, and did I mention that the banana bread I didn't give up for Lent was homemade with the last of my parents' bananas and their macadamia nuts? Because it was the best banana bread ever and it rocks and there will never be any more.
Furthermore, I appear to be giving up commas for Lent. There must be dog hair or something stuck under it because it periodically just doesn't work, which for a touch typist is v. v. annoying. Either that or my new laptop, in addition to its other wonderful features, is rebelling against my extreme comma abuse and is now rationing my commas. See above, re: AI.
Things that are Just Wrong: when your underpants are giving you a muffin top under your tights. Dang overactive elastic!
When you say things like this I'm obliged to imagine your belly.
I think I'm going to be mildly adventurous and order something new off the menu. Mm, Thai.

My sister's company provides a stocked refrigerator for their executives and she has access to this perk. But she never uses in unless it's a Diet Coke emergency. She says she feels awful about making so much money and taking free soda when the company doesn't provide free sodas for their factory workers.
Why do companies comp sodas for people making $100K a year when they can afford to buy their own damned sodas?
I get the free soda, I should ask for a raise.

From what I hear, one of the perks of being rich is getting lots of free stuff.
They do have free Cokes (and Diet Cokes) in this office, as well as the free fruit.
Speaking of the laptop, I've been working from various places now that I've got it, the bedroom watching tv (except this week when the SO's been sick), the living room on the couch. But the Biscuit has gotten used to me working in the office and spending the day in there with me. So he's taken to sitting in there looking out the door at me, as if to say, get to work you slacker! I can't really explain to him that I am working, it's just that I can do it in my pajamas lying on the couch. Although I'd probably get more done sitting at the desk. And I have my kicking new speakers in there. Okay, dog, you're right. I'm coming in.

It's a perq. And perqs are more aimed at people making much money rather than less.
