Hawaiian Shirt day

'Remember next Friday is Hawaiian shirt day, so you can go ahead and wear a Hawaiian shirt and jeans'-Bill Lumbergh


Corporate culture is so icky.

Today we have a company lunch that's meant to be a 'reward' but it really just sucks ass. We get free pizza and have to sit an listen to speeches by a couple of the top dogs. Uh gee I'll pass thanks. It's like that moment in college when you realize free beer is no longer reason enough to suffer fools, so you choose to buy or steal your own beer and live free or die.

You have to participate in this lunch, oh technically it isn't compulsory, but to skip it to label yourself a loner, not a team player..hell a Bolshevik by corporate standards. So you sit and eat calorie and carb dense food, listen to the worst public speakers in Texas, and yawn back to you desk. The day feels long because you don't get your lunch break properly.

Once they ordered way too much pizza, so ever since there is never enough so you feel like a rat if you take too much, or go hungry if you leave it. It's frickin' lord of the flies in bad suits.


Fuck it I'll walk the earth.

john_clarke fights the corporate power at every turn. So I usually take the pizza and run, sparing myself the corporate motivational speaker or whatever monkey they've thrust on us.
