Thank GOD for the baffled atheists on b.org, 'cause without y'all's commenting on your bemusement over smudgy foreheads I would've totally forgotten that today is Ash Wednesday. Not getting either my feast or my fast on is really mucking with my ability to keep track of it all.
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

There was a great article in Bitch magazine on Wonder Woman's creator and his interests.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What's QI? Aside from being an apparently unstoppable fount of knowledge, I mean.
It would never occur to me to call this in. Ever.
I love it! Even when I don't end up using the coupon, which happened last time I had a defective snack product. I'm not sure why, but I have no compunction about calling a company when their product isn't right.
Note that I am unsure about my use/spelling of both "fount" and "compunction," but not enough to look them up.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It's been my experience that high level executives are the only people (well, aside from the relatively rare Hollywood celebrity) that get their knickers in a twist over things like the right brand of bottled water
Oh, I don't know, Matt. I just got a complaint from a worker that the free fruit in the breakroom had too many apples and not enough oranges. The fruit is for regular folks, not execs. And did I mention it was free?

Thank GOD for the baffled atheists on b.org,
This phrase amuses me.

OMG people are nutty. Was there at least one of each? How many oranges did this person want?

Well, if my coworkers hadn't confused me this morning, I certainly would have asked after going to get lunch. Forehead schmutz everywhere!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
There's a couple of other factors to the perqs issue aside from just the competitive nature of compensating higher employees. One, if you provide something cheap to a limited number of people, it's relatively cheap to provide (rather than giving free sodas to all employees). But that's only important if you have factor number two-- it is seemingly valued out of proportion to its cost. For a dime a can you can make someone feel like a VIP.
I also assume there is a tax thing to how much perq you can deduct per salary, but that I'm not positive about.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
My Saturday job provides lunch to the entire service department. EVERY WEEK people bitch about what we order. Drives. Me. Nuts. I want to just slap them around and tell them to STFU.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that take the orders and place it and get bitched at. Like I chose it?
