I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

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.

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

Really? I was totally joking.

Huh.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

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

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.

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

The krav centre is hugely raunchy, and I wonder how we get away with it. Do the more genteel leave before it's an issue? Not make the cut in the first place?

At my first CA gig we were totally call-after-the-meeting-to-apologise uptight. And I can't even remember the word in question. At my current job it seems to be okay to use the word screw if you look at me first...no that's unfair. There are some interactions that are okay with the primary participants, but I can see how a cube neighbour might be bothered.

I think every sexual harrassment video gets the same reaction. At Variable Annuity Company of Fuckityness, the video provoked:

From the guys:

"Aw, that's a good one. I should write that down."
"I used that one. Worked, too."
"Oh, yeah...he's so smmmoooooooovvvvvve"

From the women:

"Heard it."
"Heard it."
"Heard it."
"Great, the guys are taking notes."

I am still in the fucking ER. I've had one and a half Milanos and some applesauce in the past 24 hours, if memory serves.

I can feel crap at home, people! It's warm there, and the keyboard is full size, and I might be able work up an appetite

Can one order a pizza online, for delivery to the OR?

Probably ita doesn't feel like pizza. If you are actually hungry though, do it!

Edit: ER, not OR. Unless the plan is to trepan ( [link] ), which I can't say I'd recommend.

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

ita, are they not giving you stuff (drugs), or is the stuff not working?

Well, that might let the demons out of ita's head....
