That technological bondage is why I won't let my company pay for my cell phone. Even if it did help me make the payments I won't allow them to dictate that much into my life.
Hi! Haven't seen you in a while; how have you been?
My roommate just got an e-mail from the high-level geeks at her workplace with tasks for the next time she gets in; I teased her that the next thing they're going to do is give her a pager. She made a face and said it would be a cellphone. She refuses to carry a cellphone at all because it's a leash, but if work has her on a leash, it's bondage!
"Jerk it" -- there's this comic called Jerk City. One or more of the bots on our IRC server will (or would) pull random quotations from this comic (or something like that) into channel when you said, "botname, jerk it".
So at The House, someone said "jerk it", and there was angst about the lack of internets, and then someone actually rattled off something that sounded like an actual jerk it line. Which was both hot and scary all at once.
