I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I would rather be cleaning my house.

Done! I can leave!

...once I figure out how to get all this paper in the car so I can grade some of the problem cases at home. Sigh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had a job where 3 sides of the cube were open, and most people worked on the phone most of the time they were in the office -- except me. I was supposed to be writing. That was ROUGH.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

My last job put editors (of which I was one) in cubes next to sales and marketing. HELLO?????

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

It's the kind of cube you get in hell.

And you're surrounded by telemarketers.

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

I suspect she's trying to make me feel good about myself, and that always puts me on edge.

Yeah, I got that feeling. I don't think it was the intent.
