You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

There may have been condoms in my workplace(it's a large area, with many buildings), but none that I've encountered or heard about.

I've worked big-box retail and in the game industry at conventions. You can draw your own conclusions from that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

What, no love for the Andy Griffith show theme? Actually, Barney Miller would be my choice.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I went to an AIDS conference in Senegal in 2007. Condoms everywhere! Dresses made of condoms, condom art displays, someone went door to door in the hotels where conference goers were registered and handed out condoms. It was condompalooza.

All of them were unused (at least while they were publicly displayed).

Because books.

Andy Griffith would have to go into a category with other folksy, homespun tunes. In the category-making part of my brain, anyway.

My health insurance just sent me a postcard -- oversized! -- reminding me that Open Enrollment is 45 days only, and when. I hope it reminds a lot of people who might have forgotten otherwise, given the current situation.

I was having a really productive morning. Then I discovered my email hadn't worked for 5 hours. IT migrated me without warning, so my inbox didn't get new mail until I killed and restarted it. And a lot happened in those 5 hrs. Fucking hell.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Having worked in theme park rides after hours, you're probably ahead of the game if you haven't had one flung onto you while it was still warm.

Holy crap.

I do think Sanford and Son might be the Actual Best, but I was trying to pick from the three choices!

Weirdly, the one that popped into my head was Three's Company.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have never encountered condoms in the workplace

I have dealt with so many condoms in the workplace. Really, numbers in the thousands

Me too! We have no adult sound technician, so mic stuff often falls on costumes because we have to place them in the hair/face etc

Also,ND- why do they always give me mics that go over the ear and have to be somehow taped to their face near the mouth which looks horrific? Is it cheaper than the ones that go in the hair, or better sound? We are in a tiny black box.

Also also, in college I once had to go to a store and buy condoms, cigarettes and cucumbers for a show. I was doing props and said I would also pick up condoms, but it was pretty embarrassing.

AND as someone who does costumes with college students, there is no bodily fluid, except perhaps lymph, that I have not cleaned up. Barf, blood, snot, poop, semen. I would say that the semen was the most unexpected.
