Sue, I think you need to include a line "Failure to follow these instructions will result in your request being ignored."
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The police made me cross the street on account of Jennifer Hudson.

I was just looking over the MLS costs and how fast I can get my degree, and it looks like I can probably finish it off within three years and still get my company to reimburse me for all but $2000 of it, which is what the student loan that I'm applying for will cover.
Boy, if I can end up with a master's and be only $2K in the hole, I'll be really happy!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Shit I want to say:
Answering the phones is YOUR JOB. Yes, you have other parts of your job, but answering the phones is part of that. I'll answer if you are busy or on one of your several breaks, but don't ignore the damn phone, waiting for me to pick it up, and then get shirty with me if I don't.
Mmmm'kay?

Mayor Richard M. Daley will present the Chicago native with a plaque proclaiming Tuesday "Jennifer Hudson Day."
Huh. Chicago Theater on State Street. Good thing I didn't go that way for lunch!

Kathy, that's so awesome that the company will help out. If there's a discrepancy in your favour between what you pay and what the full time students pay, some universities will charge you a make up fee that you have to pay in order to graduate. I had to pay an extra $2300, which nobody told me about until after I had started my program and the university kind of buried it in their regulations. (It wasn't on the Grad Faculty, Financial Services websites or in the Student Handbook, I had to go digging in the regs of the university.) So make sure to ask up front about that.

GHA! There's a new radio station here in town and the weekend host(ess) has the same name as me. I keep getting asked by people if we are one and the same. I'm thinking about modifying my work .sig file to say:
"No, I don't work at Z 1XX.5 on the weekend. Bitch stole my name!"

That was the first thing I did when I was thinking about taking this position in the company five years ago, was ask if the boss's boss would approve reimbursing an MLS degree. The company only reimburses $5000/year (when I started back in 1992, they were providing full reimbursement for both bachelors and graduate degrees; now, they only fully cover bachelors), and I'm factoring in annual increases in tuition and fees, so that $2000 is only an estimate. (I'm also thinking about using some of the 2007 reimbursement check to pay off my high-interest-rate credit card, and then pay off that part of the loan over the three years I'm in the program.)

That really sucks! No, the LEEP (online) program is charged at the same rate as the on-campus one; the only difference is that LEEP's rate is factored as a four-credit rate, not per credit. We don't get the various on-campus student perks (insurance, etc.), but then, we don't have to pay for those perks, either.
And listen to me putting myself in with the LEEP students when I haven't even been accepted yet! Jeez, talk about making assumptions...
