On the "over-priced underwear" topic - Hanro. WHAT THE FUCK! I mean, yeah, it's nice, and it's all comfy and stuff, but DAMN, if I want utilitarian white cotton undies give me Jockeys.
And different preferences are what make the world such a wonderful, diverse place.

I like some Cosabella stuff I got, and have actually quite liked some Victoria's Secret stuff. Yeah, I know it's crap, but it looks cute and when it falls apart I have an excuse to buy new stuff.

what can I do? am i doomed to the closed door policy? Can I ask to have my office moved and give that as the reason or make something up?
The answer depends on where you are in the pecking order.

Top of the heap: Can the mouthy bastard.
BSD Partner: move his office.
Service Partner: move your office.
Junior Associate: keep your mouth shut
Mid-level Associate: move your office
Productive Senior Associate: can the mouthy bastard

The person next door makes a very "outable" noise. Usually when she's on the phone. She plays with a kid's toy and it makes an annoying repetitive sound. I had some bubble wrap and everytime she played with the toy, I'd pop the bubble wrap. The bubble wrap drove her crazy, and when she finally said something about it - I said "see how it is?"

If you put them in one of those delicates bags that then goes in the washing machine, wash them without the auger and use Woolite or a reasonable facsimilie, they will last a lot longer. Even the really big ones.

You seem to know a lot about washing women's underwear.

I don't think you appreciate just how soiled her underwear can get.

Translation: laundry duty, especially for stuff that doesn't require that much folding, is a much better task to have around the house than some of the ones my girlfriend does.

and today's

First Smack of the Softball goes to . . .

Shape Shifter!!!

Congrats on having so little to do at work and/or such a high desire to procrastinate that you swung first. To be the first to express what everyone was thinking is truly a feat, especially given that ltl/fb is around.

I haven't decided upon the prize yet. But it is an honor and that should suffice.

Thankfully, she is an even less frequent vomiter than I. I have a Seinfeld-style streak going, marred only once this century by food poisoning. I almost toughed it out, but, fuck, bad shellfish will get you.

What's that fetish called where people are into vomiting on each other? Roman showers? I am the opposite of that. You and bnb will have to have your own regurgifun.

I would have thought sweeping up the excess coke residue into nice little piles and making a bunch of copies of the house keys wouldn't be such a hassle, but I guess that's just me.

Good god, no. Why would I want to date a woman who doesn't shit the bed? That's so vanilla.
