One of my very favorite DJ clips involves Rowe talking to a pig he's just inseminated, essentially as if he's been overcome with chemistry, but he knows it wouldn't last. It sounds much weirder just written like that.

Ouch. Laga. Stop. I know a horse is much bigger than me, but the thought of being fisted really hurts.

Aims, I'm a bit late to the party, but, I really think it was a favor. Yes the paycheck is nice. But the bullshit.. well, it was bullshit. I agree with ND, odds are he's seeing tight margins and you got the short straw. Was there a severance package? Does he have to give notice? Is there some procedure he needs to follow (memo, then warning, meeting, one more time and you outta here). I seem to recall some very non-functional meetings called, but... Oh hell, I don't know. But milk every dime out of him you can.

IO-me-N, so the Head Explodey news is now public. Here's what went down weeks ago. My boss asked me to carpool. While driving in, I asked if he needed a ride home. "Nope, wife & kid is picking me, we're going on vacation" "at this time in the season??" "Kids spring break" "oh. ok. Where to?" "Dallas" "Dallas?" "We are going to visit {former General Manager here, current Managing Director somewhere else}" "um.. is this a job interview?!?!" "kinda. Don't tell ANYONE"

Well, he got the job. I'm happy for him, and sad for workplace. He really has been the best boss I've ever had (ND excluded). He's been the mortar in keeping us sane of late. And been a great advocate, as well as shielding us from a lot of the bullshit from the higher ups. And now he's leaving. I was sworn to secrecy, since I was a jack ass and guessed right off the bat. But now can spill the beans. HUGE for us... nsm for y'all, I'm guessing. Pardon me as we play taps and whimper in the corner...

I almost inhaled a sunflower seed. Some posts should come with a warning.

edit: that was directed at Mike Rowe falling in love with a pig, not Omnis' exciting and scary job news.

and ftr Hansel did seem to enjoy it in a "oh it feels good to get that gunk out of there" way. On the other hand he'd have been a lot easier to clean if he'd enjoyed it in the other way.

My two bags of Mighty Leaf Organic Earl Grey arrived a few moments ago. My first cup is now brewing. It's the most incredible, delicious smell.
