There is a level of professionalism you should have when you work at some places, but personally I think a little crass celebration should definitely be allowed.

That said, whether she knew who he was or not, her actual response wasn't necessary.

People like this get to piss away money while millions go homeless without a meal today.

I don't understand some people.

Have we checked to make sure they don't have a banana stand nearby? Specifically looked at the walls?

It adds up quickly. Especially when you take into account just how many people it happens to.

Not to mention just how many people have to do things related to their job that they don't get any compensation for.

My job requires me to spend about 15 minutes at the end of the day on a computer. But I have to clock out in order to finalize my shift. So I basically do 15 minutes of work every day without pay. I always wait until 15 minutes into my drive home to clock out though, so I'm still getting the compensation.

You would be surprised how many people just go "Yeah it's no problem, I'll grab that thing even though I clocked out" instead of "nah, I'm not getting paid I'm not doing it"

Continuation of "how about a nice pizza part after hours unpaid?" "PAY US MORE MONEY"

Depending on how familiar I am with the sound tech, I like to vary between the standard "check 1-2, testing testing. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Spinx of black quartz, judge my vow. Richard of York gave battle in vain." to "this is your mic checker, checking in. It's a balmy room temperature in here, uhhhhhhhhh...." and then talk like a airline pilot giving the pre-flight speech. Or even start making basically every audible sound I can think of that they might be dealing with while also trying to make the tech laugh because I know he's usually super serious and doesn't get anything other than the usual "check one two three" 9/10 times.

Numbers can drown the stars.

Just ask the Tyranid.

You'd think if the state were so sure of its case, it would happily continue to prove guilt later on and wouldn't need to rely on PRESUMED guilt.

I was today years old when I realized that she was talking to Homer Hickam, and I've seen the movie October Sky more times than I can count.
