Tom, yes. Many, many, many times.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh gawd - there's a new weird sex fetish site out there. I'm not even going to link to it. Instead I'm going to link to this blog post about it:
Introducing... EROTIC FALCONRY!!! (this link boarderline SFW, the actual site is NSFW.)
Erotic Falconry is disturbingly, wonderfully, real (we think... hope?). Their mission statement as stated on EroticFalconry.com: "Our goal is to show others what turns us on so that they can see the natural sexual ferocity of our feathered friends."
Since I didn't go to the actual site, dunno if it's "real" or not....

I am trying to keep my eyes from rolling out of my head and down the stairs.
I swear, there are people so afraid of change, they just make life ridiculous (and I'm saying this fully aware that I HATE CHANGE.) Me: "Hi, we changed steps because something broke. Instead of automation converting x to y, we make y instead and automation won't do anything." (Essentially taking a step OUT of the whole thing.)
Boss: We should wait to implement this until next cycle so it can be coordinated and make sure it works right.
Me:@@ It's already been done because it was.broken.the other way.
It doesn't sound like a big deal written out. But that's my boss.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
It doesn't sound like a big deal written out. But that's my boss.
No, I get it. Been there.
"If we do Z, things are more efficient and actually work, so I've been doing Z."
"But...shouldn't we wait to start doing Z until we get a feel if, maybe, possibly, somewhere along the line somebody may object to Z?"
"No, because doing it the old way, pre-Z, did. Not. Work."
"I just don't want to upset anyone with Z..."
Like, grow a pair, Boss! Sack up! Z works.

I am fucking grumpy today.

My boss just asked me to explain how the water cooler works. Like, why doesn't all the water come out?
Being a former engineer, I guess he was curious. Anyway, I explained it to him. Only a slightly annoying diversion from my work. (And depending on what I'm working on, such diversions might be welcome.)
edit for sense....

A lawyer friend of mine now has, as office decor: a 3 point mounted deer head wearing a tie and a lifesize cardboard Cher.
Both of these things are so at odds with her philosophy, taste and career that they are almost perfect representations of how damned quirky she is. I love it.
