I love that we're all WTF? about the Freezing Fog Advisory. Wierdness.
All she wants is a diet Coke. Just one diet Coke. And they wouldn't give it to her.
Hee. I quoted that song a couple of days ago. I don't think anyone got it.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We bitched about the loss of monthly donuts, but not least of all beacuse the company stated that it was for our health. There was also bitching about the variety of teas available, but mostly because it was unequitable across the many buildings we were housed in--the higher the average pay, the more kinds of teas available.
As perqs go, I'm more likely to slaver over more vacation days per year, or more stats, but those are expensive. More expensive than raspberry tea.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I think ultimately, we complain about whatever. It's kinda just there, you know?

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

There's this certain air molecule two feet in front of me (and a little to the right) that just sucks!!!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Probably belongs to Teppy.

It's a tiny, tiny black hole!

Wait! It just moved, didn't it?

Yeah, how did you know? Someone opened the front door and away it went. Now I don't know where it is anymore.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Why do companies comp sodas for people making $100K a year when they can afford to buy their own damned sodas?
This company doesn't, at least anymore. World HQ in MI has soda machines on every floor and coffee works on the honour system--25 cents a cup. Here, we used to get free soda but with the recent troubles in the industry, the VP felt it was bad form to continue. Coffee, though, is still free in the DC office.
Do you want to know what perq causes people to act like their families are being slaughtered? Company cars and fuel cards. I have never seen such vitriol in my life. I, for one, am everlastingly grateful that I have a mode of transportation that costs me much, much less than if it was actually mine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There aren't really any perqs here, but when I worked at United Way, the president had his own suite with his several assistants, with a whole stocked kitchen. The rest of us got diddlysquat.
