My technology headlines keep showing me Pac-Man articles. Huh? Pac-Man has been around so long that Pac-Man skeletons are showing up.
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How can Marcel defeat Ilan? They're in the same season!
That was what was giving her the agita.

Word. Anything strapless is not office attire.
Well, if your office is a street corner...
Would any of you NOT work at a place because it had a dress code? What would be the breaking point in strictness?
Long-sleeve shirts. I could deal with business casual (and do, whenever meeting with clients), or even dress pants/shoes and short sleeve dress shirts. But if you require long sleeves and ties you obviously don't need my services that badly.
My office is pretty casual if we don't have clients scheduled to drop by. I wear jeans and button shirts, but some folks go as casual as a sweats or shorts (which I don't feel comfortable in unless it's a weekend, in which case they should just be thankful I'm not in my underwear).

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I would definitely turn down a job for a restrictive dress code. But then, half the time I work in my pjs, and the rest of the time I wear black band t-shirts. And I think I'd fit in better if I dyed my hair green. So I'm pretty lucky. Admittedly I do have to conservative up for fundraising, but that mostly means lots of nice clean line linen dresses, which I buy for 50 cents at the thrift shop.

Help me, Hivemind: what's another word for "unconfigure"?

Because books.
Deconstruct?

Hmmm. It probably won't work in this context. The writer is talking about removing the current configuration of a program and then reconfiguring it. I think I'm going to hand the topic back to them and tell them to stop copying the mail from the dev word-for-word.

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

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
I guess I'm just old school. I've always worn suits to work. I don't really mind pantyhose. But that's probably because I've (almost) always driven to work and worked in airconditioned offices. the one time I took the train every day, it was London, so more often than not, you were grateful for the hose. My law firm went to business casual one summer and never went back. Also, I think that part of my not minding suits and hose is that, as a minority female, wearing a suit separates me from staff. Not that there's anything wrong with being staff, but it keeps me from having to say things like "motherfucker, I am licensed to practice law. If you need a copy, make it your damn self."
Wait, on second thought, it doesn't stop it from happening, it just makes it less likely.
