I have recently accepted additional duties at work taking care of some assistant-like tasks for my boss. In a time of layoff threats, a gal's got to do what she can to make herself un-cuttable. In the two days I've been at it, I've lost about 90% of my slack time, and have unfortunately had to move offices. Reduced funtime aside, what's the worst thing about my new office?

My old office was in a back corner with a door awkwardly positioned so only people intending to see me saw me. My new office is between the receptionist desk and the kitchen, facing the lobby. I've seen more people in 2 hours than I'd see in a week.

Two shows came out recently, Tosh 2.0 and Web Soup, both using The Soup's format to sum up internet videos. While I enjoyed watching them, I can't help but think this is a harbringer for lameness that will only push the internets to new levels of some sort of depravity. Why?

View Answers

What's great about the Soup's format is you can watch the best 15 seconds of all those shows you wouldn't want to dedicate an entire hour (or more) to. These web clips are only about 15 seconds. What service are we getting?

[info]absolutcalm -- I'm a college grad now but don't wanna grow up. Short of beer bottle keychains, how do I retain my youth?

View Answers

Keep hanging out with college-age kids. They'll do the same shit you did, but amp it up to a more dangerous and unsustatinable degree until you become helpless putty in their hands, unable to relate to either college students or people your own age.

When you realize you're not among the youngest people in a particular bar, move to a bar for the next age group so you never have to feel old.
2 (28.6%)

Make sure to watch The Hills, Gossip Girl, and So You Think You Can Dance, know who the Jonas Brothers are, and read Twilight. Bonus points for referring to shows, movies or music from the late '90s/early 00's as "oldskool".

Refuse to plan anything more than one week ahead, and scorn those who try to. This will successfully alienate you from "old" people.

I do. And what a day it was. No longer did I need my mom or anyone else to transform a flaccid swatch of rubber into a joyful, semibouyent delight sure to tickle my fancy for hours as I jauntily nudged it into the air with the kiss of a fingertip.
