In my work area, there is a miasma of sick. A chorus of coughing coworkers. If they won't go home, I'm tempted to.
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

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

Punishingly Intricate
I am often glad not to have a gun, because I would totally be the person who shoots the TV.
I would have shot my computer many, many times. And that would not be helpful for my work productivity!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My boss looked at me like a kicked puppy when I told him I had an environment-related headache. But! I'm off to Bed Bath And Beyond for an air cleaner and then to work from home for the rest of the day.

Dude, he shouldn't look at you like a kicked puppy when YOU are the one in pain.
I do think there is a disconnect. I get the impression that vocal Palin supporters think that detractors dislike her for personal reasons. While many of most detractors are more concerned about basic competence "Really? You want this person to run things?"
I like her shoes... I mean, I think she's a pathological liar and not especially intelligent (canny, but not brainy), and I would hate to see her in charge of the place, but I do like her taste in footwear.

I've been playing with Pinterest the last couple of days. It's a social media pin-board site. I love it for the visual inspiration, and it lets you repin things from others really easily.
I am sue_oz, my twitter handle.
ETA:I seem to have 5 invites if anyone wants one.

I almost forgot about open enrollment here at work, which has to be filed by the end of the day Friday, but I just took care of it. They're offering a pretty decent non-tobacco-user credit for the first time ($300/year) which I had to make sure I signed up for.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Dude, he shouldn't look at you like a kicked puppy when YOU are the one in pain.
Seriously.
I would have shot my computer many, many times. And that would not be helpful for my work productivity!
Ha ha ha! Sadly, if I were to shoot my computer here, I would probably also shoot my favorite coworker, since she's right on the other side of the wall. So, note to self: Don't shoot M.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My boss is very much a feeler. Very much.
Note to self: Pinterest doesn't seem to be a Chris/Zachary shipper board.

Because books.
So, note to self: Don't shoot M.
Nerf balls, babe! That's what you need.

re: don't shoot computers
I wonder if sidearms are still banned from military computer centers.
