So I just sort of look at it as one big joke and tell myself I'm just here for the lulz and the fat paychecks as long as they are dumb enough to keep writing them

Why can't anyone tell you're wearing that business suit ironically?

The Onion has got me through many an afternoon here. I don't work here ironically though. I just don't work very hard.

Treating it like a game or a joke helps with the cognitive dissonance.
