    Fuck you right in your marketer whore mouth.

    Sorry. I kinda lost it for a sec. I’m absolutely done with this marketing speech where everything’s an experience or the spend on actioning the ask is the goal of our synergy win. I feel dirty using those whore words, and I feel people are cheap skanks when they use them as well.

    I hate thinking people I don’t know yet are just filthy whores, even if the signs are there in full stereo sound. Like somewhere, I hear a shitty saxophone and a porn bass, the jungle drums of cheap sleazy late-stage porn star fucklumpdom.

    And I should be better. The whores should be better, bimbos and jimbos, also. Maybe if they all died of syphilis right now I’d be happier.

    Yes. Yes I would. I would be happier if everyone who said ‘experience’ like that, or ‘the ask’, or ‘the spend’, or ‘action this’ like they’re too fuckknuckled to choose a fitting verb, or a sales ‘win’, or synergy outside a bio lab; I would be happier if they all died of syphilis.

    And then cluster migraines every time someone says ‘emails’. Wait. No, that’s mean. Just a game misconduct penalty of some kind.

    -fweet- illegal construction. Penalty! 10 yards. Repeat first grade. (‘yard’ here is a junk punch)

    Yeah. Now I’m smiling.

    “To be sure this project is adequately budgeted, let me know what salary range you’re considering offering. This is a big ‘mineshaft canary’ for me, as an under-buggeted project is doomed to failure and also lets me know how your Project Management, Finance, Devel, and IT groups interact. If it’s not healthy, the budget will reflect that.”

    Or so. But he approached things differently:
