Hooray, my lunch meeting was cancelled.
I actually do find the training useful, though since I had already taken another version, it just confirmed what I already knew. Give me facts and clear expectations, then leave me alone and let me work.
Mal: You were dead! Tracy: Hunh? Oh. Right. Suppose I was. Hey there, Zoe.

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Oh, man. It's sentences like this that make me want to find a new job where I don't have to deal with words:
"A Google for current practice location of each matched applicant was then performed."
Yeah. A Google was performed. t keens, rends garments

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
emotional people who got offended if you didn't engage in small talk were blue.
What color are the people who got offended if you did engage in small talk? That would be my color. I hope it's not pink.

Given the passive nature of your publication, they still could have written, "The current practice location of each matched applicant was determined using Google." Performing a Google sounds painful. You could break a rib.

Oh, I changed it to "We then performed an Internet search for current practice location of each matched applicant." We actually try to put as much in the active voice as we can.

What color are the people who got offended if you did engage in small talk?
Probably green if small talk makes you think, "OH MY GOD. Stop asking me about my weekend and tell me what you want so you can go away and let me work!"
I am viewing 3 apartments today because I probably should see other places before I make a final decision.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wait, Steph -- how will anyone know it's SRS SCIENCE??

We put in little doodles of people in lab coats who are scowling and waving Erlenmeyer flasks menacingly.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
msbelle, lots of health~ma for your uncle.
Jesse, thinking good thoughts for your and your family today.
At least Dana is not going through DISC assessment training today. *shudder*
shrift, sound plan, but I'm sure you're exhausted with the search. It's almost over.

Perfect! But you're 100% sure you don't mean, "Little doodles are put in"???
Jesse, thinking good thoughts for your and your family today.
Aw, thanks.
