A conversation to remember...

[fleetfootmike]

...on those rare days my job gets me down.

[Friend D] My firm makes Windows.
[Friend L] I work for big government contractor. I think I'm pretty close to selling my soul as well.:/
[Friend M] My firm is defending the people that built the oil rig that messed up the Gulf...
[Friend L again] My firm makes tanks and weapons that blow people up...
[Me] My firm makes Doctor Who.

You are, I trust, familiar with the phrase "the lesser of two evils". We may currently have Ann Widdecombe, but The Other Lot have Simon Cowell....

Hey, *my* firm is playing dance tunes in Cambridge!

I should have added in:

At least all of you have jobs. ;)

[luis-mw.livejournal.com]

yes, I think you win :)

[kathy-songbird.livejournal.com]

Yes definitely worth remembering! And a choice between blowing people up and watching Strictly? Well it's obvious isn't it?

I was going to type "So who are we going to bl....", but for some reason, I can't complete the sentance.

Probably paranoia on my part, can't ever imagine a jokey post to friends online ever being taken out of context and ending in a prosecution, can you? :)

is this where I say no, absolutely not? :-)
