yes

no - I have my own office

no - I work in a open-concept envirionment

no - I am unemployed

you are an intelligent redneck.  you are an oxymoron.

My father-in-law is also an intelligent redneck. He loves to confuse his co-workers at IBM by defying stereotypes of both groups.

Where I work right now is odd - there are offices, some of which are smaller than my fairly large cubicle - which have lovely windows and views and such, which are unoccupied.  I suppose they keep myself and my cubicle mates together because we all do the same job, but our work means we predominantly do not work together on any projects though.  There are only four cubicles in the whole office, and the other three all face sources of natural light.  I am in the back, darkened one, and I am in the position on term while the women who usually does my job deals with cancer treatment.  Aparently her prognosis isn't good, and they have said they hope to make my position perminant.  What they don't know is that I hate their office culture (back stabbing and gossipy) and have another job lined up to start in a couple months.  For me though, cubicles in and of themselves are depressing, regardless of the fact I'm sitting in the cancer lady's chair.  The only other time I worked in a cubicle was at a handful of soul-deadening call centre jobs I worked at to get through school and post school expenses.  Psychologically it feels like a huge step down to be back in a cubicle, even though the pay is the second highest I've ever earned.  Every other job I've had for years has come with an office space, with beautiful views, and basically I miss the daylight. Ho hum.  It's temporary at least.

My office is in a submarine.

Guess what I'm wearing for underwear.

I didn't want this post to get lost in the tangle by the way.

Sometimes I'm torn - VW are you real?  There's something so wonderfully outlandish about you.  Seriously though, did you choose this way of life to intentionally go against the grain, or did it just occur naturally?  I ask because I certainly chose the road less travelled, and I wonder this about most people.  Actually, I think I'll make a new poll about this.

Please don't disabuse me of my fantasy that you're going commando.

You've got the mushroom cube.

Yeah, you can't disabuse a man of his self-abuse material, that's like killing a mockingbird.

Sorry to disabuse you, or anyone else, of your ideas of what my life is like, since they're obviously much more wonderful than the rather banal reality of being someone who runs PCRs in a lab and analyzes DNA sequences, but I was merely referring to this Kids in the Hall sketch:

Yeah yeah yeah.  Stay on topic.  What about your underwear (or lack thereof)?

This sentence made my brain do a Mario power-up noise.

[side_show]

Yes, and for the next two months I will forever refer to my work space as "the mushroom cube."  Thank you for this.

The fattening c*ck.

[greenkoolayd]

asherdan-fly your freak flag a little higher at work.

also, is it strange that rays dude-cat nipples stand out to me?  like, i see the attyre, then my eyes go straight to his upper torso.

So basically your life IS totally awesome?

[oball]

As someone who also runs PCRs and has been known to analyse DNA sequences, I can attest that it is really fuck*ng boring.

[greenkoolayd]

mad science is terribly fuck*ng boring, apparently.
