FLEXIBLE MIND, FLEXIBLE BODY: Why not practice some venue-sanctioned yoga in the Northwest Film Forum's lobby before you hit the bars on Saturday? The 1.5 hour class is for all skill levels and ages, and is being held as a fundraiser for the arts center. We think this sounds like a great chance for you to limber up with your neighbors, center your energies at the beginning of the holiday season, and do something supportive for the arts community.

You know, you kind of want a guy who has a typography tattoo to put a little more effort into a cardboard sign and maybe elevate the medium a bit... Photo courtesy of Jeff Carlson from the Seattlest Flickr Pool.

We generally have little use for our jobs, except for the fact that they provide us space and time to construct quality posts for you, dear reader. Also, their paychecks allow us to pay rent and buy cute shoes. Other than that, we'd rather be at home watching CSI or What Not To Wear or playing Rockband. On second thought, jobs do have benefits: free laser printing and free coffee. It's really sort of sad that these perks are the pinnacle of office work in America--and that only one of them is an official perk. After all, workplace coffee is pretty mediocre, at best. On the other hand, it's free. Nothing is more symbolic of the post-industrial economy's lassitude and flaccidity than the zealous sense of entitlement to free psychoactive drugs, as well as the ability to print out cheesy e-mail memes, that most of us office drones possess.
