Natter 53: We could just avoid making tortured puns  

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I dunno! Some are east coast, some are midwest, some are in texas somewhere.

I want to hide under my bed.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

You deserve a job you like, after all the annoying ones with evil bosses!

Well, I admit to wondering if I was bringing it on myself somehow. I do have Authority Issues, what with the not liking to be bossed and feeling uncomfortable bossing others. (At least long-term. Put me in a chaotic situation, I'll start barking orders. But once everything is running smoothly, my inner drill sergeant goes back into hibernation.)

You probably could hide under your bed while you do the interviews.

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

Careful of sounding too echoey, though.

The douchebag who called me a liar and claimed I backed down from a an argument is at Comic Con.

With my bed, the rug beneath and the comforter & assorted bedding hanging over the sides would act nicely as sound baffling and mitigate the echoeyness of the larger room.

However, only the cat can actually fit under my bed.

Feh. So everyone in my department but me was in on the plan to order in lunch today? "I think you weren't at your desk" my ass. I haven't left except for five mintues to go smoke and I came back and you were all eating.

Starving, and now grumpy.

Two people who normally yell over the cube walls at each other just had a phone conversation with each other.

On speakerphone. It's like they're looking for ways to be more annoying and less considerate.

paperdol, I'm so incredibly thrilled for you.

When are the interviews? I'll bring you iced coffee and then go away and when you are done, Noah and I will take you for breakfast.

Noah! How is the little man this morning?

Any more poop explosions? I think he did that just to make me look incompetent.
