A. You know people like that? SRSLY?

B. HA HA HA HA HA!

[bratenfrau]

Yeah, they're called MEXICANS.

I do, actually. I hate seeing people pawn their parenting work off on other people, any other people, especially other kids!

[indulgent_el]

OMG I almost choked on my salad. My husband would love you. I can't take him anywhere, he's always being inappropriate.

[bratenfrau]

Hey, we crude, manner-free asses of the world prefer the term "zany" to the pejorative "inappropriate"! Now I'm just offended.

**snicker**

In fairness to your Useless Boss, that's how reporters are taught to write straight news stories -- pretty much everything on the AP wire is written so a paper can get the story and run as much of it as they have room for without losing anything important.

This is also the reason I have never in my life read page two of a "continued on page two" article.

[bratenfrau]

Good point. Although we a) have exactly zero writers who ever have or ever will write anything for the AP, b) don't use any wire news services, c) are a group of silly family-oriented weeklies that report on like teeball games and shit, and d) have our own standard story format (outlandish statement, nutgrab paragraph, filler, conclusion/editorial paragraph) that doesn't exactly lend itself to being chopped off.

Still!

So what you're saying is that your Useless Boss perhaps treats her job with maybe a little more gravitas than the situation warrants, eh?

Oddly enough, they also teach that in journalism school. :)
