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

And after Big Boss left, my boss just ambled over and told me that we're gonna have a disaster recovery guy here for three weeks, at the end of which we're going to have a 48 hour disaster recovery drill.

I think your being gone for 48 hours should constitute the disaster.

Ann, that's a ferret.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

If they give you any shit

If they give me any shit, it's not going to be pretty. I have a horrible headache, my phone is ringing off the hook, my inbox is a disaster area on its own, and I'm so incredibly pissy that I can barely stand myself.

It's like the recipe for a Krakatoa.

Dear Sue,

When you come down here, swing by and pick up shrift and put her on some form of transport heading south.

Love, me

Dear msbelle,

Is she coming to NYC, or any point south?

Love, Sue

p.s. - what job title should I be searching for for you?

In order of preference:

1. Mrs. Clive Owen
2. Lady of Leisure
3. Idle, Wealthy Dilettante
4. Archivist or Assistant Archivist
5. Librarian

To just put the cherry on my day, the HR woman I had to deal with this morning and who was pretty rude to me, just emailed me a request to help her get her boxes into storage. Do you see me caring? Do you see me even opening the email?

Stabby! Stabby!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

shrift, I had EpicTangent speak firmly with my boss about something stupid he did ... and she reinforced her point (literally) with the new dirk she's been wanting to try out. She'd probably be glad to do the sasme for you.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It's like the recipe for a Krakatoa.

Now all you need is for someone to lead off a request to account for an error they're responsible for with "When you have some free time..." in that Gary Cole Office Space voice that implies they think you have nothing but free time.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

How odd. I skipped to the end and now find I can't follow anything at all. Except there was one thing--

Allyson, I'd totally give you a hug if I were there to hug you.

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

Someone needs to send the links regularly to that professor of Seth McFarlane's that crusaded to get the cartoon off the air.
