from Jessica's link, this is the best euphemism ever.
Xing calls his bodyguard firm a "business etiquette" company.
Willow: Yes. Hi. You must be Angel's handsome, yet androgynous, son. Connor: It's Connor. Willow: And the sneer's genetic. Who knew?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
ita, the bodyguard training sounds cool! Especially the counter surveillance and defensive driving!
Mayor Richard M. Daley will present the Chicago native with a plaque proclaiming Tuesday "Jennifer Hudson Day."
Yeah, big crowd in front of the theatre and streets closed off. I was just walking along the east side of the Chicago Theatre trying to get to work and a cop stepped in front of me with his arms spread out saying, "There are VIPs ahead. You need to walk on the other side of the street."

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I have a new person on the "Allyson's 48 bosses" list, who is a know-it-all annoyance who just wrote me up for not having enough room under my desk to hide in case of earthquake. I'm 4'10". I have assloads of room for me, my computer...shit, I could work under my desk comfortably.
I smell war.

"There are VIPs ahead. You need to walk on the other side of the street."
This statement is making me laugh and laugh. Maybe I'm just having flashbacks to the time James Marsters came to Dragon*Con, and how his bodyguards nearly flattened me. I didn't even notice he was in the lobby. I just wanted to use the elevator.

who is a know-it-all annoyance who just wrote me up for not having enough room under my desk to hide in case of earthquake.
So he has nothing better to do? Things were a bit slow so he decided, hey, why don't I just be a jerk instead of just sitting here?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
WTF does that even mean, Allyson?

OMG, I was just talking to my boss about potential PTO days I'll need to head down to Champaign for school, and she told me that since they are for an approved education program, they'll give me the days and I won't have to take them out of my PTO bank! That's two weeks extra vacation/sick days.
I have to say this about this company--they may not pay a lot, but they sure do have great benefits.
