Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Allyson Knows Things.

Hope they can help, ita.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, man, shrift, that sucks. Though, yes, "difficulty personalities" is possibly a clue that you dodged a bullet there. And now that I think about it, the other Buffista who is an ex-employee never seemed to miss it once she was gone.

I will not buy playboys in protest.

I have been proactively protesting Playboy's failure to hire shrift since 14 years before she was born!

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

Derrick's Jamaican Cuisine and Catering had the best reviews.

Mapquest is being a total bitch.

Are you in Westwood, ita?

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

I'd imagine the huge majority of Playboy employees have the same sorts of policies we do. Get a small company in the Valley whose business is porn and I think you'd be hard pressed (npi) to avoid it.

Derrick's is good, Allyson, but way out of your way. You really shouldn't. (yeah I'm in Westwood)

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I bet Playboy has a hi-LARIOUS set of first-day orientation videos.

I wonder if it'd be like Bizarro-orientation video...

" Narrator: Let's watch Tom as he interacts with his co-worker Destinie...

Tom: Nice honkers, Des!

Des: (tee hee) Thanks, Tom!

Narrator: Way to go, Tom! Now let's watch Dick and Marge...

Dick: You're kinda...flat-chested, you know?

Marge: Bite me, scrote-licker.

Narrator: Who was in the wrong in this scenario? That's right...Marge. After all, this is Playboy and she should have boomin' bazongas and not be all defensive feminist in the workplace.

Boss: You're fired, Marge!

Marge: Aw, fuck this place!

Narrator: Welcome to Playboy! And have a Bazonga-licious work experience!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's what she said.

OK, so our "huge" budget issue was the result of one person making an incorrect assumption, and never running it by the people who could have corrected it. I swear to god, this fucking place.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

ISTR talking to someone who worked at Playboy who had a similar experience as what MM describes. But I don't remember well.

Really? I was totally joking.

Huh.
