So, yesterday, we had stat training at work, because some of our lab people were having trouble with standard deviation.

The guy who came in to teach it is a long-time consultant, with whom many of us have interacted with in a positive fashion...BUT.

BUT.

BUT.

Yesterday, he spends a few minutes ranting about "liberals".  Tom and I just smile and ask him could he please be professional for 2 seconds.  The boss is humiliated by the whole thing and gets really, really mad at the consultant.  Lilly is conservative (as is Jim), but is professional enough to glare at the consultant.  Ernie doesn't get it, goes along with it.  Boss gets madder.

End result, consultant looking for work, Ernie is in the doghouse (though not in any actual danger of losing his job) and has no idea why.

Politics at work:  Are you a retard?

3 minutes ago.

Ernie:  Hey, I need X and Y.

Roger:  You can have X OR Y, I don't have enough people to do (important project) and both X and Y.

Ernie:  Well, okay.  But I need X and Y.

Roger:  Pick one.

Ernie:  I need them both.

Roger:  You can't have them both.

Ernie:  ...

Roger: ...

Ernie:  I need them both.

Roger:  *hangs up phone*

I am not sure why I went into PSA mode about sex toys and lube.


but the basics are that the jelly toys are likely to rot and are bad for your ladyparts, and glycerin and parabens might give you thrush.


Silicone for all your dildo needs!  Also nice organic lube is awesome.

I always put condoms on my dildoes, but it's not to save my ladyparts. I don't know where these assholes have been.

I  said this in a different thread, but organic lube is aloe based

I just heard, from the shop, all the way into my office, a great disturbance in the force.  As if a giant piece of ceramic suddenly shattered.

So it's basically polysaccharides.

Well, off to the money pit.

This is why I love hearing libertarians claim that corporations are so much more efficient than governments.

I efficiently waste more money before 9AM than most people will in their lives.
