Now that article is truly a pleasure to read. There really are few things better than justifying a blinding obsession so satisfactorily. Plus, it makes me laugh and laugh.
People are playing soccer in my office again. I think this may be a usual activity, and I may be forced to take part at some point. This creates visions in my head of me saying "Whoops," and a soccer ball flying out a window in a great crash of glass, killing someone on the street below.
For your own safety, avoid the corner of 39th and Broadway.
Also, I think that the HR person here may become my new best friend. I have found it to be a rather ironclad rule that Human Resources people are not there to make Resources available to Humans so much as they are there to laugh maniacally and prevent any Resources whatsoever from reaching any Humans at all. This one seems to be a rare exception -- it looks like she actually tries to keep the "H" in "HR." As a result, I will have money pouring out of my ears on July 31, and not August 15 or possibly Aug 31 -- waiting times which have been enforced at several previous jobs. I may have to buy her a present.
Plus, I have come to the conclusion that tea is most definitively NOT coffee.
