This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

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.

Always Anti-fascist!

I've heard "femmejep" too.

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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh, we used to say "womjep" for women in jeopardy books.

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

(This is why hyphens are important.)

So, I don't know much about Rand Paul except what I've heard over the past few days, but he's a fuckhead, right?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Yes, he is, Dana. In 2002, he ripped the Fair Housing Act, so this stuff about the ADA and Civil Rights Act is nothing new.
