put them in the back of a dusty drawer--but nowhere near a corner. Spill coffee and jam on them. On days when you are cutting really nasty farts, keep them handy as smell repositries. And remember to drop them on the floor and step on them upon occasion.Rian Jackson wrote:i'm strongly considering making voodoo dolls.
i wonder if it's innappropriate to keep them at work.

LOL. Reminds me of the time my sister waited on Watt in a restaurant and kept the carbons and sent them to me. I was dreaming of what I wanted to donate to in his name. AIM, the Beach Boys fan club, Greenpeace. . . BAD Fishy!!! No Flakes!!helitack wrote:Bring the engineers on, lots of uncovered mine shaft close by. "Hey, look down there!" ooops
I kept Auntie Gail away by putting her in the museum collection under Watt, James (in a skirt) Do Not Open..

Christmas story for people having a bad day
When four of Santa's elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones, Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule.
Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her Mom was coming to visit. This stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were
about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out, heaven
knows where.
More stress.
Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the boards cracked, and the
toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys.
So, frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of apple cider and a
shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that the elves
had hidden the liquor, and there was nothing to drink. In his
frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider pot, and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor.
He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw end of
the broom
Just then the doorbell rang, and irritable Santa trudged to the door. He
opened the door, and there was a little angel with a great big Christmas
tree.
The angel said, bubbling with cheer, "Merry Christmas, Santa! Isn't it a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you! Where can I stick it?"
- And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

well, you'd better not fucking take it personally, CWL.
an update: My supervisor and the supervisor of the engineer in question are out at lunch, ostensibly discussion his supervisor's lack of management in this case.
another thing: apparently said asshat isn't speaking to almost anyone in the admin department.
can we say, someone has issues?
sheeeeeesh, people.
'thanks'

As usual, it's only the fucking broad sweeping generalizations I object to. I'm under no illusions as to the general character of engineers, the extent it can go sometimes, and especially my own character (okay- lots of illusions there).
No worries about taking it personally. Long before today, I knew what kind of asshat I am already. And I've learned not to take so many things personally. Otherwise I wouldn't have survived on that big project.

Dearest Alpha,
'Pineapple' refers to the pineapple express, a much loved weather phenomenom in the interior of BC. It comes from Hawaii, hence the name pineapple, and it doesn't usually make it this high, so it does, it's time to rejoice. It brings tons and tons, and I mean tons, of precipitation and usually a slight warming of the temperature. Ideally in intersects with colder norhtern air so it makes tons and tons, and I mean tons, of snow. Sometimes we get lucky the temps stay low enough to keep it as snow, and someimes we get unlucky and the temps are a couple degrees too high and we get rain. It doesn't happen too often, just a couple times a year if that, and it's a gamble every time. Please refer to the picture on the previous page.
Hoping to be to snorting the good kind of powder soon,
Velvet
