The guys left over? Great guys. I hope I can do them justice with my two jobs instead of just the one.
Well, I certainly hope some of the monumental slack they showed New Guy gets transferred to you. Two jobs is no fun.
Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Shari, I'm going to get some guts and say what's on my mind here. We're not talking to you, not because we disagree(although we do, mostly, gotta say) but because we think you're a troll and an energy creature who wants to see us implode when you bring up incendiary topics. Which I think is lame and sad for you. You just pop in, suck the air from the room and are gone. As far as I am concerned, you should find a bridge somewhere and leave us alone if you don't really want to be a part of things here. If I'm off-base, stay and comment, but I think it's telling that you show up at times like that and want to dictate where the conversation goes at all times.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, a couple years ago, our DSM quit, and my boss and I split her duties, so I was working my ass off for a couple months until we hired a replacement. Best of luck, ita.

I don't think Shari is a troll, I thought the immigration conversation was pretty good one. I don't have a lot to add to it since I don't have personal experiences to add, and nobody appears to be arguing that the Arizona law is a good one.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
FWIW, I'm perfectly fine with the discussion that was sparked off, and the way it stayed interesting and civil. None of my highly advanced Troll Detectors(tm) went off. I'm just sorry that I didn't get on the board when it was going on so that I could have added my own cents.

Our wings are not tired.
Theo, it's not too late. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

My instinct is: troll. Because she pops in to rile us up and never joins in any of the ongoing conversations. And she also complains that she is being suppressed, which is like the preface to the Troll Manifesto. Maybe she'll talk to herself like Zoe.

I haven't commented on because the AZ law makes me incoherent with rage. But I agree, Theo. I especially love reading everyone's immigrant family stories.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think erica is reacting because it's not the first time.
I got the same feeling, frankly.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
There was some door-showing. And not enough transition. Every time I hear the words "status report" or "financials" I get a clutching feeling.
New Guy didn't sound much like transition guy anyway. Didn't he turn meetings over to you without any notice or preparation?
