Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Zen, I thought you were going to call in sick so you didn't have to attend this meeting.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Meanwhile, I am sitting in a conference room having an unproductive meeting, and someone just called into the conference room phone system.

"Sorry, you have a wrong number."

"No, I don't."

You almost have to admire her chutzpah.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Dana, I was, but my dang work ethic intervened. I should have done it anyway! There's another editor on this team who's much more engaged than I am; I'm really not needed at all.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Crowbar, Zen!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Oops -- my call dropped, and then I couldn't get back in! So sorry."

Crowbar, Zen!

I tried to download it but Crowbar.exe is not compatible with my system

"Oops -- my call dropped, and then I couldn't get back in! So sorry."

Don't tempt me. Lying and deception are totally compatible with my system. They're built-in. I could hang up the phone and I'd still be connected to the webex conference. Wonder if anyone would notice. "I could hear you but no one could hear me! I don't know what happened!"

We are now using acronyms I've never heard of before. No one cares about the fonts, Debbie!

Can I make a living writing sleazy porn?

I know someone who paid for grad school writing fetish porn for Amazon...

I do too. Probably the same person. Though given the internet, who knows?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Last night a local bookstore had an erotica slam (people reading their favorite sexy bits, either from books or their own). Haven't heard how it went.
