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.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I'll take some, Lori!


lori - Dec 01, 2005 8:45:43 am PST #8350 of 10006

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I have eight hours left, lori. I may need to borrow.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Lori, me, me!

I would have stayed home yesterday, or at least attempted to work from home, but the two times I have tried to work from home because a migraine made it unsafe for me to drive but not to work, my bosses in NY decided that I needed to just call in sick. Between that, being a new employee, and having had to take sick time because of my teeth problems, I am down to .70 days of sick time. (I have never come close to running out before in any of my other jobs), and I am damned if I am going to take vacation time for a cold.
