Working for the Matrix

Working in a place, typically government or large organization, that is highly dysfunctional where one has to choose between the blue pill and be happy, and the red pill and be miserable. It's a reference to the world created in the movie "The Matrix."

Dude, this place is so bad, it's like working for the matrix, evil powers run it from backstage. It pays the bills though.

working cape race

Used to describe someone who is too preoccupied with the task at hand to notice potential obstacles and hazards.

Comes from the response of Jack Phillips, senior wireless officer on the RMS Titanic, to a message from Cyril Evans, wireless officer for the SS Californian, which was meant to notify him of ice dangers in the waters the Titanic was passing through. Phillips -- who was busy relaying a backlog of messages from the as-yet-intact Titanic's passengers through the wireless center at Cape Race, Newfoundland -- responded to the loud interruption with the phrase, "Shut up; I'm working Cape Race!" The Titanic struck and iceberg and sank

Sue: "Does John not realize he's working himself into a corner?"
James: "No, he's working cape race."

Working on Laptops

a phrase that means "Having homosexual relations". Popularized in October 2009 by two airline pilots that over-shot their intended destination to Minneapolis and broke radio communication for almost an hour. They couldn't come up with a valid excuse for what happened and tried to cover up the event (very poorly I might add).

Boss: "What the hell where you two doing in the stock room together!?"

HomoA: "Uh.... we were arguing..."

HomoB: "We were Working on Laptops! Yeah! That's it..."

Boss: "Hmmm... don't know if I'm buying that one you queers"
