Background info:

1) My boss lives and works from home in Canada. Therefore, we all communicate virtually exclusively by AOL instant messenger.

2) My boss has not been speaking to me directly since March 29, 2006, opting instead to repeatedly ask my 4 department colleagues to pass messages and tasks along to me for her.

In which owners resemble their pets.If your little lap shitster is standing there on a leash in the street, refusing to move, you do not need to pick him up in order to assert your will.

What kind of medical condition do you think a sick passenger might have if he/she first delays the subway for 30 minutes, and then causes the subway to be taken out of order?

Sudden onset of compulsive homiciding?

Systematic organ explosion?

Dude, for 45 minutes of delay, you gotta give me some juice!

I wasn't able to vote yesterday. You know what would be great? It would be great (bear with me, because this is a real stretch) if we could vote near where we work! Yeah! I know! What a novel yet outrageous concept that would be so impossibly difficult to implement, I'm surprised I even dare suggest it. I missed the primaries too for the same ( Read more... )
