Btw, does anybody have a favorite Flickr account that's not their own?

I keep finding cool stuff in there.

Like Jeff Heerman's vintage pulp paperbacks.

Which links you into the Mid-Century Illustrated Pool

Vintage styles from Daily Wear

Also, I really love the groups that have photos of urban decay.

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?

Free food should be complained about if and only if:

(1) It's food one cannot eat, and therefore one is forced to do without while watching others eat, or
(2) It comes bundled with Montezuma's revenge as a bonus afterwards.

Perqs here include free coffee and fixings, spring water, and the bonus vacation week which is roughly equal to the annual cash bonus we didn't get as far as the company's expenditure is concerned (though I can't use it to pay off credit cards as I would have the bonus).

I am checking my e-mail, b.org, livejournal, and staring forlornly at my work inboxes waiting for something to do.

You could write porn!

Shrift! Imagine the antics Major Lorne could get into trying to convince someone to be the life model for his painting...

I just move Lee over into the freaky category. Same with Nora.

You say this like it's a bad thing!

You guys see how I stay out of the category? Burrell and I are slick like that.

Damn! What happened to my nap????

Best perq in the history of ever.

Oh, god, I'd never take my dirty laundry near my coworkers.

Dude, you've got your own freaky corner all staked out. And by "staked out" I mean "with sharp implements."

What do you do when you're broken, but all the people around you who usually support you are equally/more broken, or tired of your brokeness?

Where does one then lean?

That's what crutches is for. Go smoke and drink!

Depends on what sort of leaning you need to do. If you just want to talk it out or need cheering up, most folks are never too broken to offer an ear to friend. It can even make them feel better. One thing NOT to do is to decide for them whether you have "asked enough" or "bored them with my same problem," since that isn't your call to make.

If it's money or stuff like, I dunno, helping a person move, that's a tougher choice.

Nah. It's just that sort of thing where my birthday is next month, and it's another year gone without a husband or some root, you know?

And my job is becoming dumber and more soul-sucking everyday.

It's all hurty.

I'd settle for a one-bedroom apartment and a decent date at some point when I'm 34. That'd get me to 35, I think.

turns the internet upside-down and shakes it

There's Lee Goldberg wank over at f_w. Also, the ex-coworker I angsted about friending? Posts over there.
