Natter 71: Someone is wrong on the Internet
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, my thoughts are with you and Homer today. Apparently my cats are thinking of you too. As I was catching up on Natter and got to your earlier post I realized I had both cats snuggling me - usually it is one or the other at a given time - so I'm taking that as cat solidarity with Homer.

Aw.
But seriously, you people can post about other things!

The holiday slowdown has finally hit here at work. Now, hooray, I get to hear the girls on the other side of the cubicle wall discuss the people they know and their efforts to get pregnant. Joy.
edit: call me a prude, but I don't think discussions of taking basal temperatures every morning is appropriate for work.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I just sent out a strongly worded interoffice e-mail about that most grievous of sins: not refilling the fucking ice bucket after you take the last ice cubes. I'm pretty sure the culprit is actually only one person -- my incompetent!boss the manchild. But it happens every damn day, so I finally got testy and sent out an e-mail. I used words like "courtesy" and "adults," and refrained from using words like "you fuckwit," "manchild," and "I will gut you like a trout if you keep doing this, you entitled fuckwit manchild."
I actually don't assume my e-mail will change anything, but I feel better having vented my spleen.

Because books.
you entitled fuckwit manchild
That is such a keeper, though. I'm definitely using that one at some point.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
"I will gut you like a trout if you keep doing this, you entitled fuckwit manchild."
See, I think you should just print this out and tape it near the ice bucket. No one could prove it was you!

Oooh. I was wrong about who the culprit is! The culprit confessed, and it was not incompetent!boss. At least, not today. I've caught him dumping out the ice tray INTO THE SINK before, and when I asked him why he would waste water like that, his defensive response was that the ice bucket was empty, and HE wasn't going to refill it! So the next logical step in his mind was to also empty out the ice TRAYS.
I wish I were making that up.
But anyway, the ice troll from today's episode of freezer global warming was someone else.

... that makes NO SENSE. That is the OPPOSITE of sense, in fact.
Huh.
