Proving my interest in sociolinguistics and perhaps reasons why I would be terrible in this field

Can "fyi" mean "fill you in" in some cases? I'm guessing not. Still though, that would be kind of convenient.

You're an FYI apologist. What you say makes sense, but that's not why she used it. If anyone uses it from now on I may forgive them.

[sweetjayne27]

Don't! Too much forgiveness is why we're in this goddamned boat!

[hommedeterre]

Thanks for reminding me. We'll cancel that reprieve.

I'm really confused about the meaning of the last inspirational message. How are you supposed to say something about someone?

I think the lady in the picture seems confused too, although you can't really see her face very well.

[opal_antlers]

Yeah, i like that last message a lot, too. lol. I know what it means, its basically saying dont talk behind peoples back, but it really sounds more confusing.

[hommedeterre]

I think the frame that is so intimidatingly placed near the guy has someone's picture in it who's relevant to whatever talking behind the back had been done and it's being pushed near him so he can apologize to the manager and the people in the frame. Maybe even kiss it. Yeah, maybe it's a frame with a picture of shit in it and the manager is going to make him kiss it.

Also, that message was for May, the month before I started working. I didn't get a chance to take in its meaning when writing this about the manager.

The guy in the last picture looks like he wants to grope that lady let me squeeze your titties and I'll have you a raise, come on!

[hommedeterre]

If he gets to do the squeezing I think he's the one who gets the raise.

I've been waiting for this post for a long time. I thought it would just be funny by now, but it still infuriates me as well.

I'm drying to picture a blonde, asian woman in her mid-30's when I read these quotes. You are a trooper for living through such debaucheries of the english language. Combining the syntax of japanese with a dialect of english is about as dangerous as electing the Wesley Willis into presidency (if he wasn't deceased. well, zombie Wesley would be even better).

I like to see other people chronicling about grotesquely assembled humans, be it on a mental or physical level. Trust me its less interesting without a tinge of personal bias.

[hommedeterre]

There's nothing asian about her. She was embellishing everything always. I have another grotesque human interest story coming up very soon.
