What have I done with my life?
What have you done? You've had the good sense to become a person who does not think that this would be the very pinnacle of "fun" and "comedy".
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Is the HR manager aware of the issue?
The HR manager is the one who thinks it's funny. And the HR manager also knows that the Cranky Editorial Department finds it disruptive. And the HR manager is the person we went to to ask that the morons stop pounding on their desks. She said "Well, I'll tell them you don't like it."
Yeah, thanks for going that extra mile.

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

That seems like having the good sense to NOT do something, not actually, you know...DOING something.
Anyways, I think that's a genetic trait.

I lived in Maryland for 10 years and somehow completely managed to miss out on it's native cake.
Sad now.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Steph, I hope what you're doing works. If not, it seems the only option left is to make your workplace more fun for you. Maybe your favorite music (or at least a genre you like and the deskpounders don't), loud.
After all, if HR decides that the deskpounders have the right to have fun at work, can she deny you the same right?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
We have potlucks - there are 8 of us and we bring food - for various holidays , birthdays , etc. But there is no singing. and honestly, it is for the food. Libraries run on their stomachs.

Oooh! What would REALLY be fun is going over and punching each one in the back of the head! It won't be as loud as the desk-pounding, so SURELY it will be non-disruptive!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I would love to try that cake and I so wish that the lovely woman quoted had not mentioned to the Gray Lady's reading public that her community does not lock their doors. Advertising a safe place makes it less safe! Or is that just me being paranoid?

Sorry - I should have said "dessert" so as not to confuse people about crabcake.
