Ooops! No, just let go early, as in early closing. Given all the corporate hijinx of late, for me and others, I should have stated that a little differently....
Well, I was pretty sure that "Yay!" would not be your reaction to being fired.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That show is the most appalling thing on TV! We were just talking about it at work yesterday! That lady is BANANAS.
Don't even get me started on Sandra Lee.

Okay, I can't stick around but I was informed of a Leif incident and had to share.
"I asked Leif what it was going to take to get him to quit throwing things and hitting Emaryn. His answer? "Lots, and lots and lots and lots and lots of gallons of water." I said, "You mean if I make you drink lots and lots and lots and lots of gallons of water then you will stop doing that?" "Yes," he said."

From the intelligent carpet link:
The carpet can determine a walker's gender with 70-80 per cent accuracy, the inventors claim, since males and females have different centres of gravity.
Dude. I consider my center of gravity to be very personal....

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Who is Sandra Lee and why do I hate her?

This actually isn't to point out the story, but to get some slang clarification.
From a blog entry I was reading:
State Department investigators have found that the head of the agency overseeing most government broadcasts to foreign countries has used his office to run a "horse racing operation" and that he improperly put a friend on the payroll, according to a summary of a report made public on Tuesday by a Democratic lawmaker.
What's a "horse racing operation"?

That's not slang.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm guessing a horse racing operation refers to illegal betting?

How come no one told me of this!

Who is Sandra Lee and why do I hate her?
Because's she looks/sounds like one of those blonde Fox news commentators (for which Anne Coulter seems to be the prototypesire), and has a show that's basically the equivalent of Rachel Ray's except her use of pre-fab ingredients involves more work than starting from scratch rather than less, perhaps?
