Ibuprofen on top of naproxen, bad or okay?

Not an expert, but I think they're pretty similar, so I'd bet no.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

This employee engagement conference call is slowly killing me. We've been on this call for 2.5 hours, editing the PowerPoint presentation by committee. We just spent several minutes going from Training For Impacted Staff to Training for Effected Staff to Training for Affected Staff to Training. I don't think anyone's yet realized that if our recommendations for changes to procedure are followed, we'll have essentially created a new part-time job, which a current member of full-time staff will be volunteered for and not paid for.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Zen, I thought you were going to call in sick so you didn't have to attend this meeting.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Meanwhile, I am sitting in a conference room having an unproductive meeting, and someone just called into the conference room phone system.

"Sorry, you have a wrong number."

"No, I don't."

You almost have to admire her chutzpah.

Dana, I was, but my dang work ethic intervened. I should have done it anyway! There's another editor on this team who's much more engaged than I am; I'm really not needed at all.

Crowbar, Zen!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Oops -- my call dropped, and then I couldn't get back in! So sorry."

I tried to download it but Crowbar.exe is not compatible with my system

"Oops -- my call dropped, and then I couldn't get back in! So sorry."

Don't tempt me. Lying and deception are totally compatible with my system. They're built-in. I could hang up the phone and I'd still be connected to the webex conference. Wonder if anyone would notice. "I could hear you but no one could hear me! I don't know what happened!"

We are now using acronyms I've never heard of before. No one cares about the fonts, Debbie!

Can I make a living writing sleazy porn?
