There were no cubes available for him, so they had to put him in an office, but he didn't rate an office, so they turned it into a cube.
They made a single solitary cubicle in a room slightly bigger than the cubicle itself would've been? I... wut?
If they tried that on me, then I'd immediately rearrange the floor plan like so:
Filed under: it hurts me as much as it hurts you, wow, does MS Paint ever suck...

how old are you?
It's not a matter of my age as much as that I got my ham radio license 33 years ago — almost to the day, in fact. It was my first year at university. In those days, you still had to go to an FCC office for anything other than a Novice license; I did that while I was home for Christmas break and took the test for a Technician license (just barely passing the Morse Code test). I don't remember the exact date, but the license came in the mail in very early February.

All of the so-called "speeds" posted in this advertisement have no units of time specified. 75Mb isn't a speed, it's an amount of data.
Or is it 75Mb/year which is the new premium service tier COMING IN 2015 ZOMGLOLWTFBBQ!
-
You're still faster than like 3% of the US. Presumably those 3% are Amish.
Maybe the 3% is a small population of RFC 1149 enthusiasts?

Status: one hour later and I am finally down to 0/0 on TDWTF.
At least I am government employed so my slacking off is not noticed. How do the rest of you keep up?

If I had stitched them all together, Discourse would make it 50px tall.
But expandable/zoomable, see this for an example:

a boss who seems to think my rather low output is above expectations, giving me lots of time to mess around on here

Working from home. Weather is miserable. This feels fitting:

Kill me now.
Waiting for them to discuss how I can synergise.

I was just laying in bed, on my laptop
Why would you lay on your laptop? Only reason I can think of would be to keep your butt warm and cozy.
-
You will have to try harder.
I dunno man, @ben_lubar jokes and "who the hell do you think I am?" usually indicates rankling, rustling, or that you're John Kerry.
-

IIRC it was something like this:
Window behind the chair. There may even have been a second partial cube in front of the first--it was 20 years ago.

Status: wondering why no one has commented on the statement in the title of this thread or asked who made the claim....
Filed Under: Why‽‽
-
Why, was it you?
It must be a Brit of some description as it's pounds, and I know it wasn't me.
I'm curious about the point of it though - Bovril's not exactly something that's only meant to be consumed in small quantities. A pint is rather larger than a typical serving to be sure but it's no more excessive than, say, a pint of tea or coffee. I personally am not a fan but I'm sure my little brother wouldn't require payment to drink a pint of the stuff.

And in the time it took to go to the top and find out I couldn't view the edit history, then back to the bottom to reply, the title changed
-

@accalia's American, I believe (she lives in Maine?)
-

Yes actually. i was hoping it would come up naturally, but here we are a day later....

Nah, just me covering my tracks and abusing the fact that our absent friend @faoileag has edit history set to private.

Oh. I thought she was, you know, but then today I saw something she'd posted that made me infer she was British.

Fooled me. Is there a flag for a badge or something I'm supposed to do now? Or that 'filed under' thing? I'm new here.

FLAPJACKING FREEZING
Is that better or worse than biscuitting freezing?
What about caking freezing?
How does your baked-goods temperature scale work‽

-
infer she was British.
that happens more often than one would expect. I read a lot of british authors and absolutely love my britcoms (they are way funnier than what america produces.... it's like we're not even trying anymore) so some mannerisms stick.
if you don't mind me asking though, what was it i said that made you think that? ;-)
-

In USAlien, I'm led to believe that flapjack means pancake, so what Accalia was probably referring to is technically not baked goods.
-
Mark as Read.
-

-shrug- beats me.
it's not so much that i have anything against swearing, but it amuses me to creatively censor myself, so i often replace "
fuck
" with other words that start with "f
" and can have the same inflection pattern without sounding too weird.also flapjack is a fun word to say.
-

Something about the RSPCA, as opposed to the SPCA or ASPCA or Humane Society.

British people don't watch shitty animes all the time.

I'm on a Mumble server with some British people and I can assure you they do watch anime a lot.

I'm hardly able to comment on the quality of any of it, since I don't myself partake, but there's plenty of anime fans over this side of the pond.
-
oh that. yeah i was having fun with expectations. It's a thing i do.
i'll often greet people with "good morning" at 1700. makes me smile every time someone absentmindedly replies "good morning"
their expressions when it finally processes can be absolutely hilarious.
-

You don't need to - it's all shitty.
-
To be fair, their old website had the speeds as "6M" which is neither a speed nor an amount of data. Maybe the next iteration will measure their plans in meters per second!

Really? Where I live they'd just roll their eyes because they'd have heard it dozens of times before.
-

She affects weird shit like metric system use, probably to confuse her enemies.
-

I'm told about ten years ago my office had a receptionist who did that, but it was because she was confused. Apparently she put up post-it notes to herself to remind her how to answer the phone, or rather which time-dependent greeting to use.

I do that all the time.

Screw them, I'm having fun with it. If they want to be boring, let them.
-

-
What? "Good morning" until noon, then change it to "good afternoon". Look at it before you open your trap, when you pick up the call.
-
Or use one of the 43733294283846732 greetings that doesn't vary by time of day.
-
I understood the concept - the fact that someone needs a post-it note to remind them which was the correct greeting is a bit special.
How did she remember to swap the post-it note at midday?

Your name is Axe Lord?
EDIT: also they totally stole that "praise disease" thing from Peryite in Elder Scrolls.

That's a screenshot from the wiki. Apparently someone's name is!
-
What even is a "siege operator"? That job title seems to be missing at least one word.
-
A Siege Operator is responsible for manning siege weapons, loading them with any available ammunition, and firing on command or at will.
This is a task sometimes delegated to peasants as a cheap labor, as it can get them skilled swiftly. Catapults are also sometimes used to destroy unwanted stone.
While viewing a dwarf's general stats, this skill is grouped with the combat skills instead of the typical labor skills.
-
Right; but what I'm saying is he's not operating the siege, he's operating a weapon used in the siege.
