Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Perhaps the best cake ever.

Damn. DAMN. I was all set for, "surely it's not as cool as the TARDIS cake I saw t'other day", but... damn.

I ... wow. I would have taken the co-worker aside for a Very Icy Talk afterward.

I fantasize about being obscenely rich and not working. t /not helpful

ION, my building is giving out ice cream bars today, but I feel overly full from lunch and so didn't get one.

Lunch was odd, a friend has reached the end of her rope and feels overwhelmed with life in New York. Only odd in that she is FROM NYC and only ever lived here. My bet is that she moves within the year. Seems to be a lot of that going on with my friends around my age.

Well sure, that's my standard stuck-in-a-meeting fantasy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All the bosses are gone from my office, possibly for the rest of the week? But yet I'm still supposed to do my work! WTF is up with that?

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Yes, that is a lot. If one of my writers sent me a 77 page document to edit, I would stare unbelievingly at the monitor.

It's a "instructions for how to do this very complicated stuff if the two people in the entire company who know how to do them get hit by a bus" document.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Well sure, that's my standard stuck-in-a-meeting fantasy.

Mine is for the Gentlemen to show up, quiet everyone down, and perhaps start the count around the table so that I'm the eighth or subsequent person.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I am msbelle WRT work fantasies. I also fantasize about having enough money to remodel kitchen and add a deck in the backyard, and to hire someone to come in and clean the house once a week.

And as long as I'm fantasizing, I want Frances to magically get into a good school next year so I can stop worrying about it. I heard more dirt about the magnet school. They got pegged for cherry picking off the wait list and are being watched like hawks this year. Dayum.

I was fantacizing just this morning about hiring someone just to do all my ironing. As it is, I just don't do most of it.

OMG y'all I have done like negative work today. No good comes of this.

Doesn't that give you license to MAKE you're co-workers do what they are supposed to? Lots of possibilities there if the bosses don't define HOW you're supposed to make them.
