resonantI spent all my spare time last night and this afternoon on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dorrie6's anonymous love meme; I'm finding it surprisingly addictive. Yet another way in which fandom is superior to work.
Work has annual performance reviews. Fandom has anonymous love memes.
Work has pictures and comic strips thumbtacked to the cubicle wall. Fandom has icons and customizable layouts.
At work, sometimes you bring your co-workers cookies. In fandom, sometimes you bring your co-workers porn.
Work has paychecks. Fandom has feedback.
Work has those two chicks from Marketing. Fandom has fandom_wank.
Work has fire drills. Fandom has kerfuffles.
Work has newsletters. Fandom has ... newsletters. (But you can get from there to porn.)
Work has memos. Fandom has memes.

I fear the standards for porn are just as low, but it's good to be appreciated.
