reindeer-boy:

on the one hand i love all the knowledge posts regarding actual statistics about condom safety and not using an incorrectly sized condom

on the other hand i dont think what those people get about people shoving their fists through a condom and saying “if this doesnt fit him he’s lying” isnt that theyre trying to convince people to force guys to use the wrong condom, what these people are getting at is “it wont fit me” is one of the top tier bullshit lines douchebags will use to try and convince someone to let them fuck them without a condom 

The hella morning meeting did not raid the pastry that I brought for it, so I left it on the collaboration table (well, my Overlady did, because she had more hands than I did at that moment) and poked both the local-team email list (breaking it in after the Stage Manager's inaugural message) and announcing store-bought pastry near my desk to #cupcake.

Shortly thereafter, two representatives of #cupcake came tapping at my cubicle door, arriving more or less simultaneously in search of pastry. I escorted them over to the table. Purple headed off with a pastry to his meeting. lb and I wandered back in the general direction of my cube, where we had one of those conversations which is much more often two women, one of whom is warning the other about a man.

After that I banged my head against LiveScribe and OneNote basically until lunchtime.

"See over there? They have an IM demo set up."
"Mrrr."
"I'm sure you have a lot of questions."
"Real questions? No. Troll questions, on the other hand..."
"Heh."

So I popped over to say hello to the guys, and the nearest dude and Purple and I had a rousing conversation about many of the varied forms of communication that aren't really covered by the new chat thing. Particularly the general IRC channel, which covers topics like "Dude, what's with the network today?", "Hey, I'm working on such-and-such a thing, anybody know an expert whose brain I can pick?" and "...the FUCK is the cafeteria even smoking, man?!?!" Also the various multidisciplinary side channels, like good ol' #cupcake, and email lists such as vultures@, and my quiet encouragement of semi-official use of same by event planners with leftovers.
