Isnβt that what an iPhone is for?
Just hold that thing up to your ear and say yes every 10-15 sec and you have break time.
It works.
you, sir, are a fucking genius
@ATLeagle @RickiTarr OED: βOED's only evidence for latibulate is from 1623, in the writing of Henry Cockeram, lexicographer.β
Iβm going to have to curl up somewhere cozy to ponder that for a while.
We need to bring back fainting like Victorian ladies!

[Verse 1: Vicki Peterson, All]
All the old paintings on the tomb
They do the sand dance, don't you know?
If they move too quick (Oh-way-oh)
They're falling down like a domino
All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (Oh-way-oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette
[Pre-Chorus: Vicki Peterson, All]
Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
(Way-oh, way-oh, ooh-way-oh-way-oh)
[Chorus: Vicki Peterson]
Faint like Victorian
[Verse 2: Michael Steele, All]
The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around, and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (Oh-way-oh)
You drop your drink, then they bring you more
All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (Oh-way-oh)
They're fainting like Victorian
[Pre-Chorus: Michael Steele, All]
All the kids in the marketplace say
(Way-oh, way-oh, ooh-way-oh-way-oh)
[Chorus: Michael Steele]
Faint like Victorian
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3: Susanna Hoffs, All]
Slide your feet up the street, bend your back
Shift your arm, then you pull it back
Life is hard, you know (Oh-way-oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac
If you want to find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (Oh-way-oh)
They spin the clubs, cruise down the block
All the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (Oh-way-oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian
[Pre-Chorus: Susanna Hoffs, All]
All the cops in the donut shop say
(Way-oh, way-oh, ooh-way-oh-way-oh)
[Chorus: Susanna Hoffs]
Faint like Victorian
Faint like Victorian
This is what discomfort looks like. β οΈ
I need an inflatable mailbox disguise. Nobody talks to mailboxes.
This is why people should have offices with doors at their jobs.
Not just so they can be much more productive, without distractions, although it's a repeatedly verified fact.
But the more important reason is that when it's necessary they can curl up in a little ball and hide under their desks .
Masterful.
Farting is equally effective, for similar reasons, and much cheaper.
Real. I did this due to having cramps on a work day morning one day, had to crouch in the train station bathroom hallway for a bit to let the head & stomach ache pass for a good 5 minutes or so.
Kind stranger did ask me if I was alright though which was touching.
You should be my boss.
yes, please . . .
That's very much Mixmaster Morris / chillout room energy β the idea that you need to design for people hitting their limit, rather than treating it as failure or weakness.
The chillout room was radical precisely because it legitimized leaving the main floor. You're allowed to be done.
"It's time to lie down and be counted"
there was a guy who pretended he had a heart attack when his wife shouted at him.
he liked it in hospital.
some idiot put him on a treadmill and he pretended to collapse.
he was heavily invested in this.
i knew he was faking it.
i got called to the "arrest"
it was an exercise tolerance test.
so his ecg and bp were being monitored and were fine.
they still made me admit him.

That's the worst kind of defensive medicine
Autolycos (or Autolycus) refers primarily to a figure in Greek mythology known as a master thief, trickster, and son of Hermes, whose name translates to "the wolf itself" (from Greek autos "self" and lykos "wolf"). He had the power to change the shape of, or make invisible, the items he stole, and he is also known as the maternal grandfather of the hero Odysseus.
i know we are all federated but it is nice you are on beige.party.
"odysseus: we now set out on our odyssey.
sailor: [raising hand] what's an odyssey?
odysseus: a long journey named after the only survivor.
sailor: oh ok wait what."
@amiserabilist grandfather of Odysseus, iirc
Both patronized Athena where certain translations of her being a goddess of wisdom and cunning have used the terms subterfuge and spycraft
That was certainly one of the arenas the skateboarding professor made sure his classics students get reminded of
