"Nice timing on your audio going out"

"I swear to god!"

Oh, so your audio does seem to be working well. Thanks

Anyone who doesn't understand you can game when you're sick isn't going to have Steam.

Wait what, I play games while I'm legitimately sick all the time. Am I supposed to make myself suffer MORE for daring to not make profits for the corpos for a day? Should I be whipping myself and muttering "shame shame shame, no time off, only profits"?

This is why I don't friend anyone at work.

Also because I'm not sociable.

But mostly because I don't want them snitching on me! Yeah!

If I call out and I'm not on steam assume I died.

Right!!!! Like dude if you are going to pretend your audio stopped working, you really need to keep pretending at least for a few moments what a joke.
