No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
There's this certain air molecule two feet in front of me (and a little to the right) that just sucks!!!
It's a tiny, tiny black hole!

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

Wait! It just moved, didn't it?

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

Hee. Damn air molecule. You can never tell when that sucker's coming back, either.

Punishingly Intricate
nevermas, n. A time or date which never comes.
this word made me all melancholic.
We have subsidized snacking here. 25 cent sodas, which I don't drink at all anymore. I cared more about the snacks when we had Tastykakes in the machine (those were 35 cents).

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Perqs here are that the admin staff is allowed to forage through the leavings in the conference rooms after meetings if someone has miscalculated the food/doctor ratio in favor of the food.
We also have...wait for it...a water cooler in the department main office that does both cold and hot water!!!!!!

Yeah, I think I just breathed it. It might have participated in a chemical reaction with a hydrocarbon by now....
