And then you get reprimanded.

Promoting synergy. Like a boss.
Increased workflow. Like a boss.
Bettering the work environment. Like a boss.

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

Sorry, that had to be in there.

yeah, it made me think of that as well.

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.

Or you could quit and make your own company out of pillows. Headquarters? Pillows. Chairs? Pillows. Employees? Pillows. It probably wouldn't last long but still.

My sneezes always sound like massive vomiting sessions, it's so annoying.

I had actually put a "Hit on Debrah" in there as well, because that's actually sort of what I was going for at first.  Should've kept it in there.

[GiglameshDespair]

Why am I not asleep? Aargh, I should be sleeping.

Inbstead I'm posting about how i should be sleeping instead of sleeping i am aware of the irony

[nenjin]

I already suggested a painter's drop cloth as a temporary solution. He was cool with it. Then the boss's wheels started turning and he said "Or maybe we could make this a closet. With a waist high wall so both sides could reach into it....." It originally was supposed to be a closet for that room at some point, I guess. Before it became a part of our hallway. Now it's a closet for two rooms! Oi.

I think I've basically purged most of the rage I have over this. Although it comes creeping back up on me when I'm sitting at my desk and realize I can hear my coworkers breathing. At this point in my life I've worked in a few offices. For the State. For the University. For a call center or two. And I can safely say this is the most cramped, awkward work space I've ever had. Which, you know, #firstworldproblems, but damn, I'll spend a good chunk of my life sitting there. It'd be nice if I didn't hate it. I know my coworkers pretty well at this point, we're on good terms. But I don't want to know them that well.

I may end up suggesting cube walls between our desks. I'm not such an introvert I'll go batshit crazy if I have to see people out of the corner of my eye. But the reality is two or three people talking on the phone 2.5 feet from each other all day, in a small room that's got great acoustics because they insulated the shit out of the floor above, is going to suck for all of us.

Also the walls are a very lurid shade of lime green. It's so green when the sunlight hits it, people's faces turn green. We're calling it the Shrek Effect. When I liked the office I was in, the color was starting to grow on me. Now, since I'm looking for reasons to be butt hurt, it's terrible again. Probably because it's so bright and cheery in direct counterpart to my mood.

[Korbac]

That really sucks Nenjin. Ofc it's a huge problem if you're going to be spending so much time there. At least the boss sounded like he was trying to help.

[nenjin]

Yeah, I've been pretty hard on him, but in truth he's a pretty nice guy. He just doesn't think things through very well, and he does spend his employees good will as currency in the game of managing a building full of businesses. The build out was supposed to be the "Hey, thanks for putting up with all the shit! Here's the fruits of our success!" kinda thing. And for most people, it was a step up and centralized our business in our own corner of building. But the design kept getting hacked back to make space for other people. Offices got smaller, communal spaces and hallways became offices. We have a giant upstairs space that he won't put anyone in because he wants it as a conference room/cafeteria. The plan was to give ourselves space to grow. Now, we actually have less usable space for new people.

It's a cluster fuck, which I was told is how he rolls when I started with the company. And now, I finally get the scale of what that means. I've seen a lot of DIY activities since I started there, and this buildout was no exception. So while he is trying to be nice, it's kind of a defensive reaction he has to realizing things have gone....awry. He swoops in after something has gone completely sideways. That he generally instigated in the first place.

He managed to not bork it up too bad elsewhere, for the rest of the company (most people who had offices before now have smaller offices. Except his.) But the screw ups had to eventually be felt somewhere, and that's our office.

Mud N Blood 2.

OH LOOK IT'S THE FIRST WAVE THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING YOU COULD HAVE OTHER THAN FOUR RIFLEMEN

HERE HAVE AN ANTI-TANK GUN THAT WILL LAST UNTIL WAVE FIFTEEN, KILL THREE MEN AND SURVIVE TWO DIRECT GRENADE HITS AND CONSTANT RIFLE & MG FIRE

ISN'T THIS GAME FUN?

[LordSlowpoke]

War. War never changes.

What you need to do is to purcha- ahem. Hire, some French resistance, and equip them with shotguns. Afterwards you should move them to the top of the map. Very effective in an anti-personnel role, although the moment that you are faced with armored or flying adversaries I hope you have purchased numerous heavy support units.

[Blargityblarg]

I'm just so frustrated that a game with such promise and potential depth is so thoroughly skullfucked by the incoherent flailings the dev tries to pass off as balance

I remember when i played that..

War is also random. There are times when a French Resistance soldier survives from Wave 1 to the endgame (..25+ and meeting the tiger tanks) and there are times where all your special ops soldiers die in a shameful melee to volkstrum.
..Yeah. It's random for me.

[Lagslayer]

The RNG giveth, and the RNG taketh away.

Youtube did something that broke Youtube Center. Entirely.

Fuck you, Youtube. It's not our fault your shitty design team can be outdone by random coders on GitHub.

Edit: And...it's back. Huh. That was...strange.
