Echoes:
Someone: anyway i've lost most of my confidence in the military thanks to you.
Me: you're welcome
but just what did I say
Someone: no, it's just the thought of people like you having to defend us. i mean, you have soft toys in your bunk
Me: umm, I can let the sick patients cuddle my lavender scented bear!
Someone: this isn't helping
Me: don't worry, you can go to the S-Cube seminar next year!
Security, Survival, SUCCESS!

Someone: the s-cube is lousy... there are 2 words on the same plane
the third one ought to be on the yellow face
Me: they claimed that each dimension had to be of an equal size so the tube wouldn't topple over
evidently they don't know basic physics
larger surface areas make it more stable
supposing it were a wide, long, low cube (with security being the lowest dimension).
it'd never topple over
anyhow success is more a result of survival and security
Someone: like, whatever. it's not aesthetically pleasing. it's badly photoshopped
and i think they're running out of ideas. it's soo obvious they just picked the nicest sounding s-words
Me: well. these are bureaucrats
they need to hone their skills at rebuffing troublesome malcontents like me
please follow in my footsteps and suan the guy
Someone: who?
Me: the guy who will be trying to brainwash you
I wonder if he still remembers me
*wistfully* in an odd way I'm actually rather fond of him
he managed to dissemble and ignore the points I was making, bringing up irrelevant qualifiers
Eek!
