Saying you work at Blizzard these days is probably not a good thing considering how badly WoW is performing these days.

Who gives a poo poo about what's happening in WoW, they're basically printing money with the loot boxes in Overwatch.

They're also currently ramping up staff and actively recruiting from other companies for a new "unannounced" project. I don't normally pay attention to Blizzard, but I know a couple people* who have been paid ridiculous amounts of money in the last few months to move to Irvine.

Also, and I know this is a minor point, but I find it hard to believe that someone who signs letters in a somewhat official capacity would do it by hand with a blue ballpoint pen.

My LSD experience is that if we were tripping and decided to hit up the frozen section of a grocery store (unlikely), the reaction to some weirdo meowing at us would be "poo poo, do they know? I think they know man, let's just go. Let's go."

I told you so...

Everywhere I've worked, anybody who had to send signed letters had a signature stamp and/or a .png of their signature to just plop at the end of their letters, and used an actual pen to sign more "personalized" stuff.

I've never sent or received anything "official" signed with a 17¢ Bic ballpoint.

I remember seeing almost the exact same thing back in the early 90s and it wouldn't surprise me if it has been around way longer than that.

one of the examples is "gently caress me backwards with a telegraph pole." So it apparently predates the invention of the telephone.

Yeah, this reads like one of those early FWD: You'll NEVER GUESS What Happened at This Office! emails. Slightly funnier than the ones ranting about how offices are banning green and red clothes around Christmas, less funny than the jokes copy-pasted from Reader's Digests.

It reminded me of this



Somebody was mad that they kept getting written up for being an rear end in a top hat to all the other employees so he put these up around the workplace and kept telling everyone to stop being so sensitive all the time.

That list of appropriate phrases just made me think of Heathers with the main Heather's phrase "Well, gently caress me gently with a chainsaw". Difference between the two fictions is Heathers is actually really interesting and good.

"Fry me for an oyster" was always my favourite (probably not in Heathers.) But also "gently caress my rear end!"
