Me: *typing a comment on Confluence*
Atlassian: Check out the throbbing purple button
Me: *typing*
A: purrrrrrple buttonnnnnnnnnnn
Me: Not now; trying to focus
A: So you're not at all curious about the throbbing purple button?
Me: No, I just— ugh, fine, what is it for
A: You can take a screencast now!
Me: OK. Cool. Thanks. Now that I've hovered over this button and know what it does, will it stop throbbing?
A: No. That's a fine idea, but… no. We didn't do that

Apathy and laziness are underrated traits in the workplace. Companies think they want the person in charge of sending these emails to be “passionate about email marketing,” but they should actually hire someone for that role who is a normal human being

Avery Brundage (probably): Christ, JEFF, stop proposing “luge, but someone lies on top of me“ as an Olympic event. We’re all painfully aware of your kink

Jeff: Fine. FINE. How about, uh, skeleton, but someone lies—

AB: Jeff, get the fuck out

(Jeff’s full name is lost to the mists of time)

In two-person luge competition, the athlete on top handles steering and the athlete on the bottom is mainly there for weight distribution and stability.

I’m gonna be honest: that really doesn’t feel like a compelling reason to stack two guys on a sled

Someone needs to have a conversation with Hyrule’s military logistics people; surely a huge wooden crate can store more than a handful of arrows and/or a single apple
