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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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?

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.

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.

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

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."

There's a term for women appearing in books about Jeopardy! ?
