Stressball in Thread Form

[livius drusus]

You know those piece of crap squishy things corporations buy in bulk to hand out to their employees as some kind of self-referentially hip in joke? Well, that's this thread.

So they send us 10 URGENT emails a day reminding us to take this year's complement of idiot "How to keep your documents secure just in case you're a fucking idiot" online training classes. They reiterate that the classes are mandatory and imply dire consequences for shankitude (even though we all know that's bullshit).

Then you get to the list of classes and only one out of three will load. Java errors. On account of their intranet is a piece of fucking shit.

Okay. Squeezing now. Squeeeeeezing....

If that smiley can't save me, nothing can.

[Leesifer]

You just have to squeezle, liv. I tried to find online stress busters but no luck.

However, I did find Billzibub on Google images. :wriggle:

In fact I've found a few people I know on Google images - I love it. There's a stress buster right there.

I popped some bubblewrap (http://www.virtual-bubblewrap.com/popnow.shtml) but it left something to be desired.

The one with George Bush falling on those bubbles works pretty good... I think.

Too bad I don't remember the url.

:foocl:

That's the one site I nearly linked to but got fed up with the bubble wrap myself, so didn't bother.

That. Rules. :rofl:

[TomJoe]

livius,

You might want to buy something from here (http://www.despair.com) for your desk at work.

I suggest: Leaders (http://www.despair.com/leaders.html), which will get you in good with your bosses, or perhaps Meetings (http://www.despair.com/meetings.html), to show your love for ... meetings of course. :P

[livius drusus]

Ah yes, I know the demotivators well. Apathy is our team motto. :pleased:

[Petra]

Ha! 'Twas livius that introduced to me Despair.com. She knows all about it, baby.


(And thanks for finding Viking Kittens! I was terribly disappointed when rathergood.com removed it.) :cheerful:

I've got a squishy ball with a skull and crossbones on it. :skull2:

[godfry n. glad]

I immediately thought of "Bugeye Bob".

Then I ran across this:

http://www.northernsun.com/images/thumb/2153SmushBush.jpg

It's called a "Mush Bush" stress toy. I would hope that it's eyes and tongue would pop out, and then, with lots of stress, the head explodes.

Then, there was this:

We can all laugh at your ass from where we all currently reside. No need for you to exert any extra effort.

I meant massage, of course.
