Happy belated birthday, Beverly!
There's no other way to view that than a crime against society and the English language.
I thought I was prepared for the Jillifont as a corporate American, but my face went on a journey of slow dawning horror.
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

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 don’t even understand what that word is supposed to mean?? I am team “maybe it’s a typo”?
Hil that sounds like a shitshow nightmare. Of COURSE just when you need her most they get rid of the lady with institutional knowledge

Like meara, I can't even tell what they're trying to morph there!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Only okay if they are using an abacus

Ohhh Jen is more corporate that I am! I was with -t on the abacus.

I was, too, at first! But that didn't track, and then it just popped into my brain... with so much "ugh." Pretty sure I groaned.

The guy who does the equivalent job for geology is supposed to be doing it for both departments now, but that really makes no sense, since doing it for one department is a full-time job (plus overtime) to begin with, plus the geology department is on the other side of campus, so there's no way for him to do any of the stuff that requires physically being at the math department.

I'm about 90% certain that the problem with the copier went from "there's a problem" to "this cannot be fixed" because somebody was copying stuff and the paper got jammed, and rather than get a staff person to fix it like they'd normally do, they tried to fix it themselves, and ended up breaking something permanently.

That seems like a very likely thing to happen anywhere where there is a copy machine
