It ties into some stuff we're working on. I sent her the Amazon link and loaned it to her. We may need to get copies for the whole team.
Your whole team is going to be living with ita?
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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

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
What are you working on? That's so neat!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The Mitzvah Mobile is outside of our office, playing Purim songs!

I want your workplace, DJ!
I do love it there. There's a generous out of office policy and work from home policy. We can have a beer or glass of wine near the end of the day. Hours are basically, "You know what you're supposed to do, get here at a reasonable hour to do that and leave when you're done." And my coworkers are awesome. One plays ridiculously vulgar songs for us, one I really look up to as a tough professional who totally doesn't come off as a bitch or feel like she needs to, they're all really funny and personable. I can bring little Oz if I want to, and it all deals with the internets, so we're kind of encouraged to explore.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I wish I could work from home.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oops -- I just told a junior person here (the only one in today in her area) that she could leave early. And then her boss emailed me back (from her day off) that no she couldn't. Ah well -- I didn't tell the junior person I had heard back from the boss, just told her not to mention it.
Because I am evil like that.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Interestingly, my co. has a "Mother's Room" on each floor specifically for this purpose. At least they tried to think of all the possible needs for private space.
