Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

“She is not interested in Bruce Willis in any way but as the producer of her next film.”

So that's why they were making out....

"I'd like you to produce my next movie."

"Okay. Let us kiss with tongues!"

In a casting couch sort of way?

Yuck. Just. Yuck.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Isn't that just the way deals are closed in Hollywood?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Happy Birthday, tommyrot!!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

When a friend was getting married, we priced the same arrangement by having one group go in and say we wanted it for an anniversary dinner and another group saying it was for a wedding. When quoted for a wedding, it was priced significantly higher.

According to his version, a marine was killed during the capture, Saddam was not captured in an underground hole, and he fought back first (by firing on the marines).

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Why are people determined to make my life difficult today?

People on my list:

1) Consultant who sent me a pile of edits to make to a document last night. I saved her document to the system, made a few changes, highlighted the rest so that I'd be sure not to miss them when I went back to it this morning.

Consultant goes into the database version last night, which - no. Then leaves me three voicemails and and email pointing out all kinds of stupid shit that's wrong. " I see that you did not make the changes I requested in Client References—I guess you didn’t see the note." "Apparently you overlooked..." "I wonder why you didn't...."

For fuck's sake, it's highlighted in bright blue. It's not done yet. When I tell you the document is final, then you can feel free to point out errors and shit.

2) Contact at the printers who sat on a request for new business cards for a Director for more than two weeks without notifying me that a) it's not her job anymore, b) who it is who should be taking care of this, or c) that she's in some kind of feud with our remaining contact at this firm and thus not passing emails along to him anyway. What the fucking fuck is wrong with these people? And yet, we're commited to use them due to some longstanding personal relationship blah blah blah bullshit.

3) You know, I was a little annoyed at the client who keeps emailing me thinking he's emailing the Chairman of our European subsid. I've forwarded eight or ten emails so far. Now the Chairman just emailed me back - "what does so-and-so mean by this?' Like I would even know -you're the professional, not to mention the one who's in the same freaking continent with this guy. But after all the rest of the shit, this one is just making me laugh and laugh.
