Last night I went to a fundraiser for a refugee-centric charity here in Mobile, and it was great to see how well attended it was and the enthusiasm in the room. Way more inept guys than I would have expected, given it featured glow-in-the-dark body-painted yoga. It's a damn shame for them that the really hot chicks were set up beside me. I thought about offering to swap places with one of them, but decided that might be unacceptably sexist and demeaning! Felt really good about myself for considering it though.
On occasion, one of them will fall over into me in the middle of a balance pose. Seems to be considered "fair play" but it took me months of setting up in the front row to earn such respect (if you're a guy, not in the front row, they assume you're just there to oogle). Nothing like that happened last night (these two were really good at yoga) and the last thing I'd need is for someone to end up with a glowing handprint on their ass.
The only artist listed I really dislike is Chris Brown, for beating Rihanna. That is one. Method of execution: eaten by hundreds of small razor-toothed Rihannabots.
I don't really hate U2, Nickelback, Coldplay, etc. I've never been forced to listen to any of their music, and I even like a few of their songs. But "Collide" by Howie Day is probably the most unpleasant song I've been subjected to numerous times against my will.
It's an "emotional" song that has no range or drive, just sits at the same intensity level over its entire length, and Day's quavering voice is quite annoying. Quite bad. That is two.
I should also include a more immediate selection, and I'll probably go with Meghan Trainor. I can't say that her music is a net drag on my chill, because I never listen to it, but the idea of a Tumblrista anthem queen is annoying, and I disagree philosophically with "All About That Bass" and the way its "fat acceptance" message (unsurprisingly) oversteps into slight disapproval of non-fats. That is three.
Bangers, ey.
I often forget why I bother to read this cesspool of a forum, because so many posters are actively net negatives, and then I read Rei Ayanami's posts and it all makes sense.
I don't philosophically agree with his specific 3 choices, but man, that post is beautiful.
How do I handle a boss who refuses to pronounce "Kaspersky" correctly? Just turn in my notice?
He insists on saying "Casper Sky." I've said it correctly to him five or six times but nahhh nope, "Casper Sky." "Did you get the new product code for our 'Casper Sky?'" /rage

Not sure if cdl is actually doing it but his idea of taking off tomorrow and hitting a bar to watch all the games has stuck with me. Pretty sure I'm gonna do that next year. Seems elite.
Seems pretty dependent on your job. I have a hard time wasting a day off when office productivity is at a bare minimum and the games are on TV in my office anyway.
