I am not entirely shure how I would have reacted to that class. I hope, however, that now that I've been prepared, that I'll do Allyson and the rest of the Buffistas proud.
My god, I just had the longest passel of nightmares involving forced animal trait mutation and some very dubious bonding practices (but no rock). And then I wake up and it's
one fucking o'clock?
Do you have any idea how many people I just killed with my bare hands (that wasn't the bad part of the dream), and the night isn't even half over? Dear god.
If I hadn't bailed before lunch, I would have discovered whether I am an owl, lion, peacock, or lamb.
Did the lions get to eat the lambs for lunch?
I explained in my letter to management that I researched the trainers, and discovered that they were probably unqualified to visit JPL on a public tour.
That is hilarious. What was this training course supposed to do for you?
I just copied and pasted Allyson's posts into an IM with my coworkers who are being forced to take a "What colour is your personality" workshop. She has their sympathy and admiration.
I'm still stuck on "bond with a rock." The HELL?!?
Told to bond with a rock, I'd have been tempted to ask for a glue stick.
ATT is doing a bit of a dick move and forcing everyone who starts a new account (or decides to change their messaging plan) to have an unlimited messaging plan which is $20 for individuals, $30 a month for family plans.
Oh this is such BULLSHIT. AT&T, WHY DO YOU SUCK SO HARD???
(I assume that's $30 per PLAN for the family plans, and not $30 per line? I've convinced DH that he should switch to AT&T when his Verizon contract runs out so we can save money by going on a family plan, but if AT&T is jacking up the rates it might not be worth it after all.)
We switched to no contract plans. I hardly every use my phone as a phone, so I have limited minutes, but unlimited text & data for $25/month. The best part about the no contract plans? No taxes, so the $25 is actually $25.
I just told my staff about the rock. They might stop laughing by lunch.

I think it was over in Bitches someone mentioned Connie Willis' book Bellwether -- the bond-with-your-rock thing totally reminds me of that book.
We are haveing a big in service staff day in October, partly on customer service. I need to go tell my boss that i will not bond with a rock
AT&T, WHY DO YOU SUCK SO HARD???
There's a stretch of the West Side Highway where AT&T iPhones don't work. My sister frequently calls me while she's on her way home from work, and we always get disconnected when her cab hits that part of the road. It's kind of ridiculous that AT&T can't even get their coverage to cover all of New York City.
