But as a midwesterner who grew up in the snowbelt, I reserve the right to make fun of folks in the northeast who bitch about snow or run to the grocery to stock up on toilet paper, bread and milk at the announcment of a storm.

Don't forget the bottled water!

So apparently, people from the other campus want to come here and schedule a meeting with three people on this campus (including me) who all work in different offices and have other work to do, in order to make sure our cover memos all look the same.

I think Emily's department people must be smoking the same thing as my department people because I got an email last week about the placement of the college logo on all meeting agendas. Why does it matter that some folks had it centered while some had it flush left? I don't know.

Sure. But as a midwesterner who grew up in the snowbelt, I reserve the right to make fun of folks in the northeast who bitch about snow or run to the grocery to stock up on toilet paper, bread and milk at the announcment of a storm.

I think the thing to remember is, that we should all reserve the right to make fun of anyone else. Because it's funny! And otherwise, we'd be talking about cat behavior and olive/tomato preferences almost exclusively.

I'm all for the giving of the business.

Emily's MemoGate story is also funny.

Hearing about everyone's crappy days makes me glad I stayed home sick. I mean, it's still a crappy day, but it didn't involve leaving the house or dealing with people.

Oh god, hell yeah.

Likely stolen by those sneaky, small, and very relaxed Calgon gnomes.

Step one: steal the Calgon! Step three: profit!

So it turns out that the people talking about the memos are actually the people I deal with on a regular basis, and I like them a lot. But I do wonder why they couldn't just... tell us.

At this point, I'm thinking maybe they just want a field trip. One of them just announced that she got another job and will only be here another couple of weeks anyway.

AND I HAVE TO EAT FROM THE CAF TODAY.

Not because of the rain, so you can't laugh at me for it.

I'm laughing at you right now. AIFG.

Me, too. And having lived in the South for many years, I also reserve the right to make fun of people in the North who complain when the temp reaches 90 in the summer.

I tried that, was told people were dying of it, and so let it go.

On the other hand, all your first world problems? Freaking hysterical. hard to breathe, in between the laughs.

That was my thought. Field day in Boston on the company dime.
