And stress leads to tension and tension leads to headaches and headaches lead to sick time, AND AND AND. That cycle ain't nothing but vicious.
Oh, look at the pretties!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh ita, good for you for being proactive here and not letting the old boss load up too much work onto your back. But yeah, sounds like it might get ugly.

Is "genuine" Roman speak as dick-laden and gay-snapping as Spartacus dialogue?
Dunno. Catullus was pretty filthy, but it was more celebratory than pejorative. On Tumblr someone just linked to graffiti found at Pompeii: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My parents came back with some hilarious pictures of the whorehouse district in Pompeii -- the way there was marked with penis-arrows, and then each house had a picture of its specialty over the door. (The overall tour guide was scandalized that the local guide had taken the church group there, but of course they were into it...)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I can't think of Pompeii without thinking of my 10th-grade Italian teacher, who had one carousel of slides from his summer trip that were suitable for students, and another carousel of his full set of slides.
OF COURSE he hit the off switch just as soon as he realized the mistake, but OF COURSE we were all extra-researchy at the town library after that.

Ha! (I realize this is probably A Thing That People Know, but I did not!)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
oh yeah, we went to a Pompeii exhibit in museum down here when I was growing up. It must have been a big deal traveling exhibit, but all the phallic statues were startling to elementary school-aged me.

Our wings are not tired.
Need some lawyer-related business advice, if you're willing.
At my past company, every regulatory submission I created had the application number, "CONFIDENTIAL" and the page n of x stamped at the bottom (in a row across). It was standard, and we did it across all documents.
At current job, boss says that to stamp "confidential" on the bottom of a page that already has "confidential" on it elsewhere actually degrades the strength of the implied confidentiality. So instead of using my page stamper on the entire (sometimes hundreds of pages!)document, I have to painstakingly go through the entire doc and only stamp "confidential" on the pages without that word already somewhere on the page.
So, this seems silly to me. Is it true that the "confidential" more than once degrades the concept? I'd love to know if this is a myth she heard somewhere or if it's true.
