You know how models are.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Well, the plans are very impressive.

Thanks.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I keep trying to go to lunch alone, but my cubemate sees me leaving and gets up to go with me, and then her two cousins who work down the hall join us, and then we're a damn herd. I just want to get my food and go back upstairs.

This happens to me too! I just want to eat alone! It is the world's most annoying cow-orker who wants to eat with me. I cannot explain why I want to explodinate her, but it is somehow a combination of complete and utter inability to see another way of doing something or ever think she is wrong, coupled with incredible moronicness, coupled with the fact that she WORKS OUT LOUD! She reads all her emails OUT LOUD!

Today she just got vocally mad at someone for having a "stoli" on a receipt for dinner with a client. We don't reimburse for alcohol, but it is permitted. Annoying cow-orker didn't know what Stoli was (she thought it was an abbreviation for Stromboli), so she approved it, so she got a call from accounting that she shouldn't have. This was twenty minutes ago. I can still hear her complaining that the woman had a chardonnay, so why would she have stoli? She thought it was Stromboli! And just how many drinks does one person need anyway! Give it a fucking rest, lady.

Ann, that's a ferret.

If we're going to talk about pronounciation of New Orleans street names, we're going to need a devoted thread. Just the ones named after the Muses....

Joke! Joke! I'm not really proposing a new thread!

I know somebody who always orders a Stroganoff which we then translate for the waiter as a Smirnoff Ice.

ETA: One day, I keep hoping that they'll just bring out a big plate of beef.

I once saw on some lifestyle show coverage of a party where they were serving beef martinis. That's right, a martini with a thin slice of beef.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

he's almost five feet tall and weighs 107 pounds

See, now I *know* you're just making shit up to freak me out. Nobody's kids are that tall.

Trust my rage

This happens to me too! I just want to eat alone!

THis is a huge issue for me. I have a co-worker who is extremely negative - all she does is complain about everything and she talks a lot. She sort of latched on to me when her regular lunchmate got sick a few months ago and now she won't go away.

She's away for the next two weeks and it's such a nice break to be able to eat on my own.
