I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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.

Compassionately intolerant

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

No WAY! Me too.

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.

This just makes me think of when I was working at WotC. My boss went to some sort of management training seminar; when he got back, I asked him how it was. He replied, "It was awesome! I learned, like, six new ways to sexually harrass you!"

Not the video, but talking about boobs. A lot.
