Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

hip deep in pie

Fred, that's awesome news for Teddy!

they work in different departments, their work does not require them to work together very much, certainly not daily. They eat lunch together everyday, IM pretty much constantly, stop by each others desks for chats min. of 5 times a day for 10-20 min at times. weird? friends? no big?

That sounds like Megan and me when we worked in the same dept. Except we chatted in person not very much. (Maybe not even once a day.) and we ate lunch and took morning break together.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Because our life is so hectic right now, we've been eating at McDonald's a lot. Life four or five times a week. We go to the same one near our house.

They NEVER get an order right. Not a single time. Never. Ever.

Am I just completely naive to think that the success rate should be a *little* higher?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ah, but will you say that when you win McDonald's Monopoly?

Always Anti-fascist!

my mom is like "Cheeseburger Lady" to our local weekend McD's drive-through staff. I think we might eat there too often.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Cashmere, it strikes me that they should be able to get it right once in a while (although I've NEVER been able to get McD's to give me a hamburger with no onions). Malice? they hate their jobs and, you know, misery demands company.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Hee! bestof.provocateuse was linked to in a Jezebel thread: [link]

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Never does seem like an improbably low success rate.

I am embarassed that the guy at the McD's drive-thru near our house knows our car well enough to ask what happened to the fuzzy dice that used to be on the rear view mirror. The string broke, ftr.

Yay for Teddy, his new kidney, and accompanying new friend!

Boo for anyone giving the Empress trouble - they're in for a smiting! Aimee, since you have MM and his customer service experience, could you get him to do some of the in-person smiting for you?

And I sympathize with vw and having her caffeine cut off - I'm not supposed to have it, but I found that a day without caffeine was, well, one long nap, basically.

Trust my rage

THe only way I can get a McD cheeseburger the right way is to tell them what I do want - cheese and ketchup only please. I had to give up mustard because asking for three things was too confusing.
