Our office supplies vendor apparently just gave us an enormous tin of popcorn, which is TOTALLY my crack. But will tide me over until an appropriate lunch time.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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.

First time I've been around for turnover - yay!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
(Cocaine is definitely the drug I'm tempermentally susceptible to being addicted to.)
Heh. I feel that way about opiates. Mmmmm percocet. The oxy thing was the first time I ever felt a flicker of compassion for Rush Limbaugh because that stuff has got to be MAD fun.
If I'm ever given six months to live I think I'll take up heroin.

Whoah. I'm just about never around for turnover.
(Cocaine is definitely the drug I'm tempermentally susceptible to being addicted to.)
Yeah, I read the post and thought, "Wow, I could use an upper." Except I'm too nervous (and, you know, law-abiding) to do illegal drugs, and nothing ever seems to be quite as positive as its press, so I guess I'll stick to coffee.
Edited because I am not too law-abiding to do legal drugs.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I do like this title.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
We work in a "drug free environment", though there is no drug testing.
One of the first times my bosses left me alone, Jeff (the more hippy-ish boss) said, "Close the door if you're going to get stoned." I couldn't tell if he was joking. (I'd never done anything to give the impression I smoked pot.) I think I said something like, "I wouldn't get much programming done."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
If I'm ever given six months to live I think I'll take up Heroin.
This is also my brother's plan.

We work in a "drug free environment", though there is no drug testing. So unless you walk in on someone indulging, there is no way to prove that someone is working under the influence. Instead we get to suffer under their abuse.
Ha! Yeah, the guy who owns/runs our company is the biggest cokehead I've ever seen. Last year at the Christmas party, he apparently brought extra for everyone to share! You know, in the spirit of the season. So I don't think drug testing will be coming in any time soon.
This is the same guy who had his driving license taken away last year for DUI. Classy fella.

Apparently if you're enough of a power nerd, there is nothing that cannot be flowcharted.
Heh. I feel that way about opiates. Mmmmm percocet. The oxy thing was the first time I ever felt a flicker of compassion for Rush Limbaugh because that stuff has got to be MAD fun.
Mmmm. Morphine. Nom nom nom.
How many Buffistas did I call while doped up on morphine? Hands up!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Yeah, but the abuse is what should get them fired.
