Laura, you have a very good looking young man there. Despite the parti-color hair. Hee.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Not wrong, ChiKat.
And it just keeps getting freakier. Have now seen the document in question. Quotables include "Mr. Congeniality - where's the value?" And "[Charismatic Chairman and Son of Founder] not dealt with!" I'm dying to know what that's about.
Also, cripes. In going to retrieve the (new) fax, I saw another fax pertaining to COO that I have no business seeing. Personal, not business related. That part I wish hadn't happened, and I'll be keeping to myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Brenda, seriously?!? I think whoever mentioned the Office AU might be right on the money.
Also, I really don't understand people who give their work fax for personal stuff and then don't hover.

Faxing is so fraught with drama!

Dude, I freak out if I forget to lock my computer when I've left non-work-related browser windows open for a minute while in the bathroom.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's 50 something degrees outside, and the air conditioning is on in the office.
As always, coming to work was my mistake. I would have been here at 8AM had my battery not died, necessitating calling roadside assistance for a jump, and then sitting at NTB for an hour and a half while they replaced the battery.

Ha. I should probably worry more about that, but eh.
At least I'm not leaving mortgage documents lying around like my former boss.

If you have a problem with Rumsfeld, then you'll have to take it up with God, because that's who's telling Rumsfeld what to do. At least according the chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff.

A guy who eventually became a senior VP at the large utility company I worked at once made up an org chart with him in it with a fake promotion. He left it in the copy machine. After the buzz went around that he was an up-and-comer, he actually got a promotion. Many people attributed his early success to the fake org chart.

Or maybe he's a precog.
