I spent all my spare time last night and this afternoon on [livejournal.com profile] 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.

You cover both bases! You regularly give us the very highest quality porn, and I can personally attest to your excellent cookie skilz!

:D

I don't always want to go to work. I always want to go to fandom.

Fandom definitely wins.

Work has coworkers who stand around and do nothing but bitch and moan and I can't get away from them because they are at the only place in the building where I can do my job. Fandom has people who do nothing but bitch and moan but I can get away from them and go straight to the porn.

I'm afraid the Two Chicks from Marketing are universal, though sometimes they're from the Ad Sales department, and occasionally they're from Personnel.

And the occasional effort to create hierarchy is always entertaining to watch as it flails and falls to pieces.

One day when my budget is a little less tight, I'm going to offer cookies to the flist the way some other people do. At the moment, the postage would take away money that this year is earmarked for a really embarrassing quantity of American Girl stuff!

Fandom in general is superior for the way it allows you to avoid the people you don't like. Relentlessly negative complainers? Click. Attempts to sow discontent in the ranks? Click. Toadeaters? Click.

And the more the better.

When I was working at my first job, I once made some cookies and entirely forgot the baking soda and baking powder. They were like spicy rocks with raisins in them. And my co-workers gobbled them up.

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