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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

People really need to think twice before they talk. My most slam-y exit interview was still done with a lot of significant eye contact rather than actual venting!

Speaking of talking at work, I just ran into the CFO in the bathroom who said I "look really good," and I accepted her compliment on my outfit before I realized she was talking about my numbers. Har!

just catching up and wanted to say Corwood, I'm so sorry for your family's loss.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

exit interviews are not free-for-alls!

I've never been on the interviewing side of exit interviews (thank doG!), but it seems fairly obvious that there's a difference between "there were some issues that might have gone differently, and that contributed to my decision to take the other offer" and "y'all suck and I hate you!"

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

I've never had an exit interview. And I hope not to, because I'd be very torn.

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

Monkey attack kills Delhi leader

Is this entirely the monkeys' fault? Or is "don't fall off a terrace while fighting off hordes of monkeys" something that adults should know?

The deputy mayor of the Indian capital Delhi has died a day after being attacked by a horde of wild monkeys.

SS Bajwa suffered serious head injuries when he fell from the first-floor terrace of his home on Saturday morning trying to fight off the monkeys.

The city has long struggled to counter its plague of monkeys, which invade government complexes and temples, snatch food and scare passers-by.

The High Court ordered the city to find an answer to the problem last year.

One approach has been to train bands of larger, more ferocious langur monkeys to go after the smaller groups of Rhesus macaques.

The city has also employed monkey catchers to round them up so they can be moved to forests.

But the problem has persisted.

Actually, I'd be curious to read some of the stuff from the bottom level of that hierarchy. Just to see it it'd be as funny as I think it would.

Apparently, Hillary Clinton has a potty-mouth and is often very angry. At least that's what all these Hillary quotes show: [link]

So, um... are these accurate?
