I would be far more comfortable saying clusterfuck than circle jerk at work. I think because in usage it's much further removed from any sexual connotation.

Circle jerk is, I think, more in the way of being purposefully indolent (and presumably nice for everyone), when one should be busy; whereas clusterfuck is more that everyone is getting in each other's way of being productive (on purpose or by accident)and very rarely is pleasure involved.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Enhanced underpants help men put up a front
The two styles — one that provides a lift in the back, and another that provides a little something extra up front — have actually been engineered by M&S [Marks & Spencer] technologists (their mothers must be so proud). The bum-lift pant, which costs 15 pounds — about $24 — is constructed to elevate and shape the buttocks for a 20 percent visual lift. The frontal enhancement pant, available for 10 pounds or about $16, has been constructed with a “shelf” that allows for a 38 percent visual enhancement in size.

Ignoring jerking and fucking in the workplace.
Got CJ's report card today. A's and B's in everything but French which was a C. Just below the mark for honor roll - need a 3.5 with no C's in work habits - he has a 3.2 with one C. Still VERY happy with his work. He got a solid B in Algebra after stuggling so much last year.
I also just saw a FB update from my cousin J. The doc approved the removal of her hard brace. I assume she will move into a soft brace for a while, but after having NO movement for a couple of months, I know she was looking forward to the soft brace.

Sounds like my workplace.

Uh, she may want to leave it on so she doesn't make herself worse JUMPING UP AND DOWN during the play-offs!!! :)
Yo, Vrooom, you'll like my new hood.

I know, Megan. His teacher says he is doing well, but she is grading hard so that her students will be ready for French at the high school next year. His main struggle is with spelling (made worse by crappy hand writing).
Yep, Java. That is exactly what I texted her.

I love hearing that CJ is getting good grades, especially in Algebra!
