I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

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

Absolutely! Go pitchers and catchers!

I bet a lot of pitchers and catchers have cats.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

If someone asks "Do you know what time it is?" he replies, without fail, "Yes."

Oh, my god. Grounds for homicide.

Cute Overload crashed Firefox for me.

Also, Steph, I think your co-worker is an ass.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

If someone asks "Do you know what time it is?" he replies, without fail, "Yes."

STAB! STAB! STAB!

What is even happening?

I'm taking a deep breath and giving myself a mental shake to get off the semantics thing.

FWIW, I wasn't playing semantics when I said that adequate doesn't necessarily equal optimal.

That said, vitamin C is quite harmless in larger doses, so ehh... waste of money is better than toxicity any day.

Unless you're a cancer patient, at least a breast cancer patient. My mother's not dealing well with having to give up her vitamin C habit.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

If someone asks "Do you know what time it is?" he replies, without fail, "Yes."

Oh, my god. Grounds for homicide.

Right? And then the ask-er will look at him and say "Well?" To which he'll reply "Well, what?"

"What TIME is it?!?"

"Oh. You didn't ask me what time it was; you just asked me if I *knew* what time it was. It's 12:54."

No one thinks it's cute or funny. And yet he persists in doing it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Why can't we make the difficult people go away?

::whine::

My boss is a Difficult Person. HR has a thick folder of complaints on her; she's driven several people to quit; every few years they send her to a how-to-be-nice class and she's better for a couple weeks. Why can't her superiors say, look, your behavior is causing us problems and costing us good people; get some therapy, we'll pay for it; work it out or hand in your resignation?

In brief, why is it impossible to do anything about toxic bosses?

Because murder is illegal?
