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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why are so many fashion web sites Flash?

Why is the office always cold?

Why does my right arm look like the arm of an abused woman?

Wait, no I know that last one.

Take blue sudafed!

Like a big dork, I figured out last night that they kill my appetite in addition to allowing me to breathe. No wonder I haven't felt hungry in a week.

I mean hey, I might want my ear attached to my kidney.

Psst, Cindy is really Shakezula in disguise. Pass it on.

That would probably be the component that is used to make methamphetamine talking.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Your boss is on vacation AND your coworker is on vacation? No, wait, he's back today, isn't he?

Boss left yesterday afternoon. Coworker came back this morning. Boss has much better idea of exactly how much crap our coworkers toss off on us, though, and he sent out some e-mails indicating that the forest of sticky notes will stop, and that people need to send e-mail requests to the dept. address or their shit doesn't get done.

Which doesn't mean less work, sadly, although it does mean we'll have an electronic record of the OMGWTFBBQ amount of work we do.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I've not tried the blue sudafed, but if I did, I suspect the appetite-suppressant would result more from my spending 22 hours sleeping per day.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Really? Sudafed is a stimulant.

What is even happening?

Poor locksmith....

I hope he didn't injure himself laugh laugh laugh laugh laughing.

I suppose I should be sorry if we have any ball locker-uppers here, but I just...the things people do to themselves. Oy.

Psst, Cindy is really Shakezula in disguise. Pass it on.

Sizzy in da hizzy. No. Wait. Who? I googled, and that Shizzy was part of the first hit, and I couldn't help myself, but who?

I can't take Sudafed (I think I tried the red, back when it lived on the regular shelves). It gave me anxiety, which I am well able to manufacture on my own. I told my GP I'd rather have the sinus infection, thanks.

move out and draw fire

Did I ever tell you guys about sitting across from another embassy person at a formal dinner, and he asked where I was from, and I said "New Mexico" and his eyebrows shot up and he said "Really?! There are some mean fucks there!!!"

Well, unfortunately he was right. [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

the things people do to themselves.

A friend of his did it to him.

Or so he says....
