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.

Also- do you guys remember my semi-minion who was signing things "your faithful servant?" I did ask him nicely to stop, and he has.

However, I have a new issue that I don't even know if it worth addressing-- he just works SO SLOWLY. Like, he has now taken 20 minutes to fold a plastic table cloth and wipe down a really clean table! I was thinking it was my imagination, but my other minion, a student worker, has come back and she can do 4 times the amount of stuff he can do in the same time frame. The thing is that a) he really gets paid very little, so I think he may work fastish to get time to goof off, which I understand (see me goofing off) and b) he is the minion of 4 other people, all of whom are just fine with how fast he works and c) I clearly goof off a lot at work, but I also work super fast. But I just want to poke him with a stick and shout "MOVE FASTER", because he works at the same plodding speed despite any urgency in the task

I am not sure if I want to ahem anymore, despite the fact that I love Josh Jackson like the burning fire of 1000 suns.

Someone posted in one of the threads that they are having a repeat showing this weekend (or sometime this week).

Seriously- he is still cleaning up from this lunch!!! It is a tiny room with a tiny lunch and I already picked up the garbage and took it to the dumpster before he started.

Did someone replace his regular coffee with decaf, Sophia? Or possibly nyquil?

Hmmm. He is anti-caffeine. Perhaps that explains it!

Oh yeah, that makes me nuts.

Another thing that makes me nuts: It is apparently not possible to book a one-way ticket with freq. flier miles. I was all excited to do it, too. Hmph.

Really? That stinks. United issued IAD-KRK and BUD-IAD to my DH for 50K, treating it as two one-ways just a week or so ago.

Oh, they would have sold me the one leg for the 50K! The problem is that I don't have the 50K, so I wanted to get the one leg for 25K and just pay for the other leg. Ah well.

Ok, remember the Father and Son who were swept out to sea and got seperated and treaded water all night? The story gets even more incredible. [link]
