Well, that's rotten for you, Amy. I hope the contracting thing goes ok until you find something better.
Anya: Are you stupid or something? Giles: Allow me to answer that question with a firing.

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Because books.
I just talked to someone else in the office, and apparently it's like a funeral in there today, and others were laid off, too. Most days I'm amazed this job has lasted as long as it has.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Good vibes, Amy.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh Amy, much commiseration. And yeah, Ex-boss sucks.

Fox News has replaced all their newsroom desks with 55" touchscreens - the effect is of a newsroom full of tiny people sitting in front of iPads:

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
They need those big screens so that they can see four tweets at a time.

I am working on our office's holiday party thing - dinner at a nice-ish place for all employees and guest. I was told to select a few entree selections off the menu to be what we order from and that we try to keep the bill at $30 per person.
I select the two least expensive steak options for my boss to choose from and he says" no, we go with this one" which is a $29.99 entree. Then he points at a $13.99 fish entree and a $14.99 pork chop entree as two of the other options. How is that fair?!? ugh.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I'm sorry, Amy.
