Aaaand we just lost power to critical systems. (Yes, we are still operating without a functioning UPS.)
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
A great house for kids: [link]
Japanese studio Level Architecs have completed a house in Tokyo, Japan, with a slide connecting all three floors.
A staircase wraps around one side of the rectangular house and the slide encircles the other.
Occupants can decide at each level whether to descend by the stairs or by slide.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Onerous task accomplished! Until the guy I sent it to inevitably screws it up and I will have to begin again.
Consuela, at my work we have to identify a beneficiary for our (work-provided) insurance, but I don't recall needing one for wages. Seems like you're right, it should just be deposited like any wage and then, not your employer's problem what happens to the money in your accounts.

Weird Vintage Ads (Outrageous!)
Some are very sexist. Some are racist. And the one with the fat pig with a child's head is pretty disturbing too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a sudden urge to bleach my hair again. But part of me doesn't want to acclimate my coworkers to it.

Corgi Meets an 11-Day-Old Nigerian Dwarf Goat
In this video we have a corgi and a cute little baby Nigerian dwarf goat getting acquainted. They seem to be having a showdown to see who is more adorable, but they are both pretty cute, if you ask me. It looks to me that both animals are trying to figure out what the other one is.
At least at the beginning, it appears the goat wants milk from the corgi.

Seems like you're right, it should just be deposited like any wage and then, not your employer's problem what happens to the money in your accounts.
Apparently some employees pick up their checks, except that one of the mandatory forms I had to fill out was a direct deposit form, so. ::shrugs:: I'm a bit worried about some disorganization: apparently the small consulting firm got purchased by a larger group without any experience in this kind of work, and they're having trouble getting the protocols all meshed together properly.
I'm really hoping they do not insist on fucking transcripts. I've been out of college for 25 years now; does it really matter what my grades were?
