Your Saturday Evening Staff Party Open Thread

Help – I’m being held hostage at a end-of-year school staff party. It’s nothing but vegetarian lasagna, quinoa salad, and “eww – this has meat in it?” It’s also the first time I get to meet a co-worker’s “partner” who is really into macramé & definitely not into showering.

As you can tell, it’s also “judgment night”, where unsolicited opinions are volunteered on the emotional development of a 50 year-old man who has been in a stable relationship longer than the three marriages of the person offering those opinions. But, since I will be selling beer all summer and not using the time off to reinforce my spiritual well-being – but not the homogeneous, heterosexual, white patriarchal spirit emboldened by Christianity, mind you – I am not living my “full life”.

And these people wonder why I don’t like hanging out with them outside work.

Those NK guys that were carrying briefcases had Uzi’s in them right? RIGHT??

Unsurprised

Jesus Christ. Being at work was so good for my mental health. Free time is the mind killer, especially combining free time and the hellhole that is the Internet.

Get into gardening, like I did. Or even just get into playing mindless video games. Poking around on reddit and twitter and such is absolute poison for your mind, and I wish I had learned that sooner.
