It's still Office Space.

After a month of deliberation, I have settled on a beanbag chair. Thanks for the suggestions everyone, they were quite inspiring.

I have tracked down the missing word and returned it to its rightful place. Better late than never.

Man I've never really thought about how much having the wrong successor could fuck up the whole ecosystem.

It makes no sense to pronounce "jpeg" as "jay-peg" because the 'P' in Joint Photographic Experts Group clearly makes a sound like the 'F' does in 'fell'. Saying it like "j-feg" is more correct.

It's unrealistic to expect people to judge your message on the merits of your argument if you're not taking the time to translate it into a language they speak.

Not really interested in making an argument to whether it's fair to apply this caricature here, but that's definitely the message here.

"I heard screaming and I thought it was just someone doing an accurate impression of Glenn Beck talking normally, but then I saw the smoke."

I just called in asking to schedule and he said "I don't do appointments buddy, have a good day" and immediately felt like an idiot. I called The Barber Who Tells Callers To Go Fuck Themselves and was completely caught off-guard when I was told to go fuck myself.

I have extremely bad news about the future.

I have a bunch of habits I don't like with how I respond to things said to me verbally.

For the longest time I thought I had bad hearing, always asking people to repeat things. At some point in the past few years I actuality started introspecting and realized that most of the time I have answers prepared by the time they're done repeating themselves. My hearing is fine, but I have abnormally poor language processing.

Often I react to things by intentionally misinterpreting in an innocuous way, things like that. I never really liked it but pretended it wasn't a thing. It's a subconsciously developed strategy for buying time. Also why I handle talking one-on-one much better than groups, once two people start talking to each other I get too far behind the conversation and keep thinking of the things I would have liked to have chimed in with thirty seconds ago.
