Someone broke into my apartment and stole my laptop the other day.

Yeah, that sucks.

[scrdest]

I've minorly burned myself with acid, but I was safe in chem. My school is fairly laisez faire about that, but maybe they have strong faith in the chemical baths.

In the three-ish months of messing with chemicals, I've so far managed to get sulfric and nitric acid, sodium hydroxide and iodium marks (no real burns, the acids were due to the glass stopper being wet. But I suppose that Shit will Get Real in the next semester, when we'll start messing around with organic compounds.

Someone else has just started a Mecha forum game. Mine is slightly different in tone, but now I can't start mine without looking like I just copied him!
Aargh!

Truly you can. Great minds think alike and all that.

IT IS LAUNCHED

"So this is where you guys ended up huh?"

"Yes, asshole. You were at the same meeting I was when it was announced. But thanks for awkwardly attempting to plumb how I feel about this. The answer is seethingly pissed off, and you're making it worse."

"Durr hurr, nice office."

"Really? You want to switch? No? Then shut the fuck up and get out of my hallway."

I wouldn't be this angry if one person, other than my long-time friend, had expressed any "Sorry you're getting fucked over" sentiment. Or at least some admission this move was a 100% downgrade for us, the one group of people besides the developers who need a quiet workspace to do our jobs well.

At least the boss picked up that I'm pretty ticked off about it all, and acted as though he'd take making our space an actual office by adding another door seriously.

Computer bluescreened.
No
Don't do this computer
No fuck you I have like 30 unsaved documents on that fucking thing
No
NO
NNNNOOOOOOOOOO

[Aklyon]

You need to save a lot more if you've accumulated 30 unsaved documents.

[Xantalos]

But I work on a lot of things at the same time.
And stuff.

[Descan]

You need an auto-save plug-in then.

[Xantalos]

Yeah probably.

[Frumple]

The answer is seethingly pissed off, and you're making it worse."

Y'know, I'm half wondering... it's definitely not something you should have to do, or... anything like that, but. Giant curtains (or maybe just a sufficiently large privacy screen(s)?) and a office pool for cheap soundproofing/muffling material? Can't get it fixed to be tolerable officially, take matters into own hands? If you're not adapting to the environment, adapt the environment to you, etc.

Alternately, giant goddamn pillow fort all up in that shit.

[Descan]

And then you get reprimanded.

[Karkov]

And then you get reprimanded.

Promoting synergy.
Increased workflow.
Bettering the work environment.

Who would reprimand this?  Also, pillow forts are baller and every boss knows this deep down in his inner repressed child.

[misko27]

Try pillow forting the boss. Try pillow forting the whole damn building, so when people arrive they will assume they've somehow forgotten where they work, and move to the next building. Or maybe pack the pillows in really tightly so it feels like a wall. If you paint it, you might even be able to convince the boss. Maybe you can replace the current wall with pillow, and cut out a section yourself and call it a door. Or maybe you could replace your boss with a pillow fort and no one might notice. Maybe you could pad the walls with pillows for silence. Maybe you could replace your product with a pillow. Maybe you could submit pillows as your work. Maybe you could submit your work on pillows. Maybe you could hit your coworker with a pillow. Maybe you could fill your coworker's office with pillows, with the message "How do you like them apples?".

I'll see myself out now.

[Karkov]

People with the cloud app would be having a giggle fit right now if they replaced pillow with cloud.
