I don't know much about how air traffic control operates. I can't imagine that they'd have gotten away with putting anybody in any actual danger.
But I am pretty sick of people acting like kids are perfectly appropriate in the workplace no matter what kind of workplace it is. If I'm on the phone with a client, I do not need some crying screaming stomping brat in the background banging on his Leapfrog pad making farm animal noises. I get that daycare is expensive, but so are a lot of things in life.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Yeah, maybe a little.
If a kid is quiet and calm and can just be independent for a little while, I don't mind it as much.
But most of the time when somebody brings a kid to work, they're running around, making noises or they've brought a toy that makes noises, grabbing things off desks, and just being a general pain in the ass. It's really disruptive, but because it's usually the older senior managerial people doing it, they get away with it.

Feral's thread is an odd coincidence. I was talking about the perception of work in society in the chat thread the other day and no one understood my perspective.
:?:
I remarked that I thought it was odd and wrong that human beings devote their entire lives to working in a machine that stifles their freedom so that when they're at the end of their life they can retire and are finally free to do as they wish. I find the concept of life long work to be antithetical to what it is to be human.
I both work and largely do what I want. A job is just so I have the means to actually do it.
I can't eat 50$ worth of sushi or buy a guitar otherwise.
But how many hours do you spend working and how many hours do you have for yourself? Unless you're working part time then your work hours exceed personal hours. You're selling your own time to someone else so that they can benefit and then "compensate" you with the money that you need because society is set up that way. Wouldn't you rather live for yourself rather than for someone (or something) else? Except for your birth and death your existence is used for work. When you were a child you were educated not for the sake of an education but so you can work, you go to college because society says you need one again not for education but so you can get a job, the rest of your life will be defined by your work until you retire which you can only do because you sacrificed so many years and not because you deserve to have your own time back.
Even if your profession coincides with your own personal interests you are ever careful of making sure you're still marketable, that you have practical purpose.
Women can wear skirts and heeled sandals but fuck you Quid no shorts and sandals you have to go buy pants.

This is nothing like the real world's casual dress. There are various guys showing up every day in ironic 80s t-shirts and jeans with denim scraping away. One guy wears an Irish tweed cap everywhere he goes. I'm wearing Kelly green Chuck Taylors for lack of any better choice that isn't a military shoe.

oh you know, for some reason, when I read your post, I thought you were talking about people who work at home
and if their kids are loud in the background when you are on the phone with them
I have never worked at a place where kids are allowed at the office

What movie should I Netflix next? We just watched Six String Samurai, which resulted in both amusement and bemusement.
i blame it on the fact that my sister in law doesn't like me and makes it difficult for me to be around her child
but mostly it's probably because i don't really get kids
Well, I get along with my sister in law just fine. Probably because we met before she was that, went to college at similarish times, and shared some regular young people dumb/fun things together, like a movie marathon with Mean Girls, Planet Terror, and Anchorman.

this sounds like an interesting conversation
if you'd like to opt out of the system, you can do that!
but
then you have to spend most of your day weaving a blanket to sleep under and hoeing your garden and shit like that
which is what a lot of hippies sadly learned in the '60s
and, you don't ever get to retire from farming because retirement = starvation woo
on the other hand, I also hate the idea that I have to trade my time for dollars so that I can pay my rent and eat
I guess I'm just saying it seems better than the alternative

fuck
oh shit that looks good!
You and a lady friend. Both call a dude to see if he does not pick up for person A if he will pick up for person B.
what does that mean.
what is this happening to me.
someone give me a SC2 beta key.
i tried to prepare you for this world
i tried dogg
That statement loses its effect when the place you're evacuating to is Hawaii.
Listen, we can work this out.
I have a couple pairs of jeans I need to get rid of in a month and a half. Very cheap.
Hahaha. OK, well, I don't know who she is. But I had several photos of her. Full ones, oh yeah.
And then my computer crashed, so... I'll have to remember the website I saw it in.
Yeah, maybe a little.

It's a way to find out if you're avoiding person A and if so will person B able to be a spy for person A.

THIS IS WHY I'M SO CONFUSED.

My sister and brother-in-law sing grace at the dinner table and then everyone says something they're thankful for that day in their scary clean house.
I don't see that niece and nephew near as much as the others.
How do you mean?
Intervention?
HELL YEAH SON

6 oz gin
2 oz maraschino
2 oz lemon juice
1/2 oz creme de violette

They're actually remarkably nice and accepting of others. You kind of have to be with our family.
It's just that they're really in to their faith as applies to their own.
