Hmm, can you have a special file in which you can write all the things you *want* to tell him, but restrain yourself?

Or you could write them here, where we can enjoy the snark.

Apparently invisible aliens landed in the back yard at about 4 a.m. and the dog had to go out and valiantly defend the earth. He was very excited about it. I am very sleepy this morning.

Is that what that was? They got up our way by around 6, but we thought the dog was just Having Opinions. He's in agreement with the president that people everywhere should be allowed to Express their Opinions. Also, like the president, he's kinda dotty and rambly.

Le gronk. Somehow it was after 2 before I went to bed.

Cannot wait for olympics tonight and this weekend and live streaming at work (I hope).

Holy crap, I have no meetings on my calendar today. The last five work days, between meetings and a major training project, I've had no more than three hours (non-consecutive) unaccounted for in any given day. And most days not even that. Whoo-hoo!

I mean, I've got a ton of shit to do and will be running around like crazy to get it all done, but this practically feels like vacation the way things have been going.

Is this picture fake? (I mean, maybe the power strip isn't actually on?) I nominate these guys for this year's Darwin Awards

These people sure know how to use their heads. I mean look at how they made sure to keep the extension cord and power strip out of the water.

Gotta love Chicago cops....

A Chicago Police officer has been suspended and ordered into counseling after she was found guilty of demanding free Starbucks coffee from six different stores on the North Side from 2001 to 2004, sometimes flashing her badge, displaying her gun and screaming at employees.

IOBadCopN,

Sgt. Nicholas M. Ortega, 46, was fired after he was found guilty of entering a bar in uniform, giving a ride to an unauthorized person in his squad car and having sex with a woman in or near the sergeants’ office in the Grand-Central police district on the Northwest Side in 2005. Coincidentally, the bar he entered was called Grand Central Station in the 5700 block of West Grand, records show.

Officer Joseph Battaglia was suspended for more than 15 months after he was found guilty of telling Trotter’s to Go restaurant employees in 2004 that he had confiscated “weed” and asked if they wanted some.

Cop demands free coffee, but not at this Starbucks

Now I'm imagining a tower of old cars, one on top of the other

Nilly, for you:

The aliens are taking a very circuitous route as they were at my place at 4:30.

And I get these comments from him all of the time. I'm seeing red here. The way he's phrasing himself doesn't even wanna make me consider for a moment his suggestions, and answering back the using the same tone won't get us anywhere.

ugh! Sounds like you are working with a couple of my co-irkers (past and present). I try to either ignore it or respond in an extra-super cheery positive way. But I have blown up, or called them out on their rudeness, in the past. Especially if they were being condescending. Sometimes it helps sometimes not.

Ahhh, the never ending clash of QA and Development.
