msbelle, I came into work today to find random crap that doesn't belong to me on my desk, so I think the ripple has reached the midwest.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am having an annoyance at work, too. I have a semi-boss who CANNOT WAIT for anything. We have a committee member who wants to call in for a meeting. I run upstairs to check the phone number so I can give it to her-- by the time I came back down, he sent an email telling me to set up the "polycomm" (which is a weird wireless telephone thingie). I call IT and they tell me that the polycomm does not work in that room, so I email back, and say we can use the telephone.
Two hours later I get a confirmation from IT that the polycomm would be set up- from a different IT person-- so I am furious beyond all proportion because a) we don't need the poly comm, b) I look like an idiot and c) why did semi boss ask IT himself!?!?! I just told him it wouldn't work.
So I talk to IT, and I guess the one IT person is new and didn't know it didn't work, but semi-boss had called the same person I talked to and was told it didn't work.
But I don't understand and now am just unreasonably furious! WHY semi-boss-man, why?

And now annoying man has sent me a new agenda for the meeting that is taking place at 1:00! But he put on the wrong date and also left items off! And now I am trying to get in touch with the visually impaired person who needs to put it on his computer before the meeting so he can follow along! And make copies, even though we are paperless. Again, why!?!

In an attewmpt to lighten up, I am wondering if anyone has heard of this swear word substitute?
My mother (who is of English and French Canadian extraction, but grew up in a German immigrant, giving way to Italian immigrant, giving way to Black neighborhood) says something that sounds like "fah-nah-bu-lah jyootz" in place of something like "Aw, shit!" or "Oh, nuts". Does it have any meaning? A lot of her swear words are Italian American ones, because those were her friends in high school Anyone? Anyone? Beuller?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Could be related to va fanculo... [link] Or maybe fanabala puttana... [link]
Sounds Italian to me, anyway.

That's good detectoring, Trudy!
I can't nap, even though I want to -- my hands keep clenching up. I'm so sick of being sick.

Sophia's micromanaging semi-boss-man needs to chillax and let her do her job.

Keep going! It gets funnier!
Or maybe I've just worked too long in advertising?
