I’m gonna create a computer virus that changes all of your fonts to Papyrus.

I seem to attract the weirdos. My former boss used papyrus all the time, and the invitation to the job interview for my current job was in comic-fucking-sans.

I was going to be an asshole, but I don’t think I can code for it in a reply via HTML so my only option was to create an image, and eff that.

I saw your post about that. I was new. And you took the job? Do you take it seriously?

Trebuchet is my choice because it’s not commonly used and is almost universally available.

I like papyrus. But I’d never use it in any setting. I like it though. Swoopy.

I use comic sans for our in house messenger app. I think it’s hilarious.

It was the worst part of Firefly/Serenity.

Kinja'd!!!

Yet somehow still an improvement over Comic Sans.

Yes, I do. It’s among the best paid in my field, so it deserves that. Without the money though...???

I’m a teacher. School systems in Germany and the US are quite different, but for all intends and purposes consider me a High School teacher.

This job offers the best possible pay/benefits/health care in our system and it becomes PERMANENT after 3 years. As in after May 2018 I could show up drunk regularly (they would pay for rehab), do an abysmal job (they would have to school me to do better), etc... As long as I don’t fumble the girls or something similar THEY CAN’T FIRE ME EVAR. As long as I want the job, I will have it. Comes with a pretty sweet retirement package too, once that time comes around.

That’s why the comic sans didn’t completely put me off.

It’s a really nice font, just overused.

Make that virus alternate between comic sans and papyrus every other word.

I was thinking alternating letters, personally, but that’s a better idea.

Wait: I’m a teacher also and what you describe sounds exactly like teaching in the United States.

Our branding manual actually calls for all our internal signage and most marketing materials to be in that. The original version called for Zamenhof, but the boss apparently substituted Papyrus, since it’s easier for everyone to find.
