Because books.

That's not embarrassing! It's where you're going to live for quite a while. I'd do the same.

There are no words for how much I loathe my job. Later, to Craigslist with me.

I saw a post on another board That Capitalized Every Word No Matter How Important It Was. How do you type like that? It slows everything down.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Amy, I hereby bequeath to you my ability to attract a new job without even looking, especially when one currently works in Hell.

I reluctantly got sucked into Duck Dynasty. It's worse than the Mafia--I can't get out.

Gud, unpossible that she is 14. Really.

sara, that would explain it. It would be a BFD if it was just the badge, but the gun? Especially with police ammunition loaded in the clip? All hands on deck. I'm sorry work didn't even give you fifteen minutes to enjoy the peace.

I'm pretty sure I just managed to get myself into trouble at work, mostly by reminding the department head that I exist. Awesome.

I'll go you one better -- I actually think Willie is sort of cute.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I would like to report that I am eating a muffin.

I am left assuming that "FML" stands for "Feed my llama".

Ha! It should!

So is Duck Dynasty scripted or "reality"?

Ann, that's a ferret.

I capitalize "random" words when I'm trying to imply something. Sort of a substitute for "if you know what I mean."

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I capitalize playfully when I want a word or concept to be taken Seriously.

I don't know the causes of workplace Pooh Case, but I'm willing to blame business schools.

Tangentially, my entirely unscientific observation leads me to believe that the majority of poor spellers didn't read [books] a lot growing up. That goes double for homophone problems.

It's reality, I thought, but bon said a friend of hers is applying to write for it, so ... Clearly I'm not up on what "reality" means anymore.

Coding and Sleeping

I work with a couple writers who do that. "And when the children are old enough for School, be sure to take them to the Doctor for a checkup first." NO.

Sounds like Winnie the Pooh capitalization is like what Piglet's agent would say during movie negotiations: it's too much to bear.
