'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think a lot about 9-5.
I swear to god, for some people being a boss is more about having someone to boss around than it is about getting shit done. It's so ridiculous.
I still resent the time I was required to pick up my boss's dry-cleaning. That's not a work-related requirement! Happily, in all the years I temped, I was never asked to make coffee, because I don't know how and would have done a terrible job.

I'm not a big boss, but we have an admin assistant for our whole group. The couple of times I've gone to her to ask her to do something for me has felt so awkward. I'm just used to taking care of things for myself. Guess I'm just not Big Boss material.

I have an orthodontist appointment in two hours and I want a nap. What should I do?
others?
I got in fine. I love the difference between the dog's call-name and their registered name. Fr'instance: Bubbles the Saluki is Sandstorm Blue Nile BubblesOfJatara.
Also, I had no idea the show-clip for a Portuguese Water Dog (same dog as Bo Obama) looked so much like a poodle. Poor dog.
