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

In burrito form, Jesse?

What possibly could the CFO need immunity for? ???? Mwahahahaha

I've also been changing the lyrics to Dido's White Flag to " I will NOT go down with this ship."

In stuff I didn't say: our team building thing yesterday assigned us to teams based on the color of our "bibs" and I was put on the pink team (there were 4 varieties of pink: hot pink, fuschia, pink, and light pink. It was a little confusing, But our team was no modifier pink). Our first task was to come up with a team name that had something to do with food. We settled on Los Tacos Locos. There was some confusion about whether the color was supposed to be included in the decision on the name. I stoutly resisted the urge to make jokes about what "pink tacos" might mean.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

On Ask a Manager today, someone wrote in to ask if they should tell their employee about a vivid dream they had predicting that the employee would die in six years.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Dana, I read that and thought, how is this even a question???

But Steph, it was a really specific dream!

Depriving the employee of a potentially precognitive warning would be unethical, wouldn't it?

Is it weird that I think that would be fine for a peer to tell me about but a boss not?

Ha, the Good Place curse-replacement is seamless. I didn't even notice it was happening except to think more people were making Good Place references than I expected, but Spike's Benches in my Message Center finally got through to me.

Our wings are not tired.

Ha! Did the Good Place extension and now I have Spike's Benches!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In burrito form, Jesse?

No, just bowl form. It was still delicious!

Spike's Benches in my Message Center finally got through to me.

Ha!
