Something about staff retreats and getting-to-know-you games just make me want to shriek "DAMN THE MAN", burn down the establishment, and go eat worms in the woods.
They don't have eyeliner or Wi-Fi in the woods, people!

Hmmmm. Well, I've been wanting to make a drastic change to my hair.....
We do not do "staff retreats". We occasionally have wine-and-Wii parties, which are much more fun.
Go, Jesse! You can dooo eeeet!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What space smells like:
On NASA's website, ISS Science Officer Don Pettit describes the "smell of space" -- long a staple of science fiction stories.
Each time, when I repressed the airlock, opened the hatch and welcomed two tired workers inside, a peculiar odor tickled my olfactory senses. At first I couldn't quite place it. It must have come from the air ducts that re-pressed the compartment. Then I noticed that this smell was on their suit, helmet, gloves, and tools. It was more pronounced on fabrics than on metal or plastic surfaces. It is hard to describe this smell; it is definitely not the olfactory equivalent to describing the palette sensations of some new food as "tastes like chicken." The best description I can come up with is metallic; a rather pleasant sweet metallic sensation. It reminded me of my college summers where I labored for many hours with an arc welding torch repairing heavy equipment for a small logging outfit. It reminded me of pleasant sweet smelling welding fumes. That is the smell of space.

I've been seeing that cut around NYC, and it always made me wonder if The Women's Muder Club was more popular than I thought.
