The douchebag who called me a liar and claimed I backed down from a an argument is at Comic Con.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

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

Careful of sounding too echoey, though.
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.

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

I like Kat's plan.
I think the rude speakerphoners are related to the guy who uses the intercom feature to call officemate's phone and ask "Are you there? Bob? If you are there, pick up. [pause] Bob?" after calling a couple times regularly where no one picks up. And yes, he knows someone else shares the office. One of these days I'm going to tell him Bob's gone to the darkside and never to call again.
Of course, he's also the guy who came in here and sat at the other desk to have a private cell conversation with his girlfriend while I glared at him, so there may be no hope.

Someone came into the bathroom at work today talking on their cellphone. I mean really, can you stop working long enough to pee? She walked out when someone flushed.

My co-workers APPLAUD whenever someone walks in their area.
I win.
Or, actually, lose.

Steph, you do lose. I'm not sure how I'd take that. We have a fair dose of irony-awareness and sarcasm here, so at the very least I'd have someone to bitch with.
I think I'm going to go deliver cake to the krav centre on my lunch break. It's way too sweet for me to be able to eat on my own.
It cracks me up and chaps my ass when the loud people act annoyed at other noises.
Just got dressed down (v. calmly) by my boss for not working tomorrow. In my defense a) I don't want to (okay, I didn't say that) b) I'm dog tired and getting by by a thread (didn't say that either) and c) I committed to leading a class tomorrow on the understanding that I was being covered at work.
