I had an employee who used to fall asleep at his work station. Turned out he was narcoleptic. Not the best thing to be when you work in an electronics repair shop.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I was on a blood pressure drug for a while that I had to take four times a day that unfailingly put me to sleep an hour after taking it. I had to juggle driving around that damned thing and just warned my supervisor that at such and such a clock I would be asleep for 15 minutes. Fortunately, it wasn't an awareness-sensitive job.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If my boss had thought that not sending him to customer sites was a partial solution, that would have been a start. But she was a royal douchenozzle who didn't blame him for repeatedly trying to hack the network security, but blamed me for Flash pages being unindexed by search engines (it was 2001. Of course that was my fault).
God, I've had some not good bosses since then, but please never let one be that bad again.
Her niece is engaged to be married soon, and I've committed to going to the wedding, and it will be the first time I've seen her stank ass in 10 years and I'm already mad about the idea.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My co-worker brought in donut holes today, and encouraged us to "be bad" by eating them.
I hate it when people say that about eating. Be "bad" by doing something without which your body will eventually die! Also, I hate it because it's such a banal definition of "bad." There's Bernie Madoff, and then there's my co-worker eating one donut hole.
However! I *did* realize there is one circumstance in which I will accept -- nay, *promote* -- the definition of eating a donut hole as "bad."
SHAFT eats a donut hole.

Indeed.
In semi-related news, I'm stepping back into fatosphere politics for a while by posting a link to a Paul Campos article about the bullshittery surrounding the Paula Deen/diabetes/butter cookery shenanigans happening this week. The villianizing is SO GROSS and sexist and classist and elitist and I hate that I've been so cowardly in (barely) pointing it out in my little corner of the internets. And I'm stressed that I put the Paul Campos article out there at all!
I don't know why I'm so intense about this right now.

Nora, I am SO PISSED at the comments people who I *really* care about have been making on Facebook. I have to keep myself from commenting on them, because if I do, it will be NASTY. Seriously, I'm trying to not go off on a rage-filled bender right now.
In conclusion: SHAFT eating donut holes.
