Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Put the dots in. The commander likes dots. From The Wire, of course. Although I also liked it when Bodie, all of twenty, complained that "Y'all youngins ain't got no work ethic."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I knew my MBA was obsolete. I have no idea what any of you are talking about.

According to a book I'm reading, the MFA is the new MBA. As an MFA-holder, I kinda like that.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Wow. I really don't work in an office anymore, do I?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Extra obsolete! Awesome.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just submitted my first timesheet here! The next-newest team member told me it might be confusing, but not so much. She's only had one job before this...

Well, apparently the candidate I interviewed against has both an MBA and an MD. So I'll bet SHE can talk like that!!

Because books.

Wow. I really don't work in an office anymore, do I?

I'm pretty sure we never talked like that in my office. But we were lazy publishing types. I think the only buzzwords were "P&Ls" and whether the author "had a platform". Oh, we used to say "womjep" for women in jeopardy books.

I've heard "femmejep" too.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

In the Charlotte airport, and I'd pay someone twenty bucks if they gave me a cot and half an hour for a nap.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

According to a book I'm reading, the MFA is the new MBA.

You can't get a job with either.

I'm more concerned with knowledge silos impacting the crosscutting operationalization of appropriate paradigms.

Sadly, I also know what this means, in as much as it means anything. I have fantasies of bombing silos and boxes and yelling, "I guess you're out of those damn silos and boxes for good now."
