Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What??? WTF is wrong with people, I ask you?

In a similar -- but MUCH LESS OFFENSIVE -- vein, why does the finance woman care if the admin staff are all done with lunch by 3pm? How does that hurt her?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I think moron co-worker was just stunned to find anything even resembling a flaw.

And needs to die.

What I said was, "I never realized you look like Eddie Munster."

also appropriate.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

He seems like he knows what he's doing.

He does. He can give you the odds on every hand on the table at every turn. His only real flaw is that he's too aggressive in his play. Except that's not really a flaw, since the two major tournaments he won required him to pull some long shot card out of his behind.

I forgot to mention that Daisy's sister is one hella cute elf.

Holy shit, they're taking down the shelving outside my office and it's like orangutans are loose in a sheet metal factory.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy fuck, I still feel like I want to die. I can't take enough drugs, because the only painkiller I have with me is Excederin, and I can't handle much more caffeine. I would go home myself, except I have a class at 6 that I've skipped twice, and the prof has cancelled twice, so I figure I'd better go. But oh man, all I want to do is curl up and die.

Still no sign of my boss. (Edit: Except, as soon as I hit "Post message," I heard his crazy laugh.)

I've never used all my sick leave time, even the year I was out sick for two weeks.

I currently have 927.1 hours of sick leave. Anyone want some?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Conference call in t-15 min. So not looking forward to this.

I forgot to mention that Daisy's sister is one hella cute elf.

Thank you!

ETA: Imma kill Aimee's coworker, Jesse's finance lady, and the client who decided to bypass the other agency's requirements, and now wants to know why, even though she's met all of ours, the other agency is telling her she still needs to meet theirs. We need to join a Buffistas union. No one is allowed to be annoying, offensive, or frustrating, and it is mandated we spend at least 5 hours on the board.

I'll take some, Lori!

I'll email 'em.

If only.

I know.

Our VP has 6 months of leave time to use or lose before April. I hate him.
