      Hell yeah. I try to use more of a selectively engage - side step - Judo hip toss strategy, but matching the other person’s energy and witnessing the meltdown is very strong.

    The rules of an office job

    1. fuck with everybody
    2. never do the job
    3. fuck with everybody
    4. find a way to make the team forced fun event so utterly diabolically tortuously shit that everyone looks like they want the building to explode as you fake enthusiasm at the shittest activity to grace humanity under the guise of team building because i hate all my colleagues and i want them to suffer

      At an office job, sometimes your entire job is just to waste as much time as possible. Because really, the bosses just want butts in chairs. It’s way more common than you’d think, especially in public sector offices.

    As for me? I just hoped to pass the civil service exam and become low level bureaucrat. Unfortunately, my brother–Jesus, you may have heard of him-- had other plans for me.
