Also, avoid porn at work.
I really can't, although this week has been light on the porn so far. I think it's well established that I'm no prude, but I had to look at waaay too many naked people last week.
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
oh, megan. Those people suck and are stupid.
Sophia, fire her ass. Sometimes you shouldn't be avoidant.
Couldn't agree with this more. And, she needs to learn you can't "work" like that and keep a job. Now, while she's a student, will be easier to deal with.
JZ, apply! And, while I know you have the ability to do the porn at work, that may be best to avoid.

Sophia, lots of places I've worked have had a policy that a certain number of no-shows constituted a voluntary quit. Might be worth looking into. Then if she does show up you can just be all "oh, sorry, thought you quit, can't help you."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Yeah, I think these people know what they can get as consultants right now and it is more and also more flexible than here, at least that is what I am hearing. A couple of people I think are considering going back to school for advanced degrees also.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ugh. I didn't get the position. I don't even know what to think at this point.
Aww, fuck 'em! What's with all hint dropping and bullshit then.
They better have a better position lined up for you, because they've seriously been stringing you along.

I am disappointed that Statler and Waldorf aren't in the Muppet Madness tournament.

Sophia, our president had hired an assistant (her first job ever) who got sick and then just didn't turn up. For about a week. She didn't answer her phone or return messages left.
The president announced that, legally, this is considered job abandonment and replaced her.
Can you do something like this?
