Ouch! My cat just threw up. I tried to get him on the tile, because he always does it on the carpet. It's like he knows. In the commotion he sliced a nice 1 inch gash in my palm. D'oh!
I'm one of the chairs of my office's snack committee (because I'm lame and I volunteer to do stupid sh!t like that), and one of the other chairs never wants to order anything until we are almost completely out of everything. He somehow things that if someone goes into the kitchen looking for a Snickers, they are going to be totally okay with walking out with a package of Raisonettes (sp?). Just because they both have chocolate in them doesn't make one a reasonable replacement for the other. So the other co-chair (yeah, there are three of us, seems excessive, doesn't it?) just had to send him an email carefully explaining that we end up looking bad because people are not getting the snacks they want.
OMG - you actually have a committee to order snack for the office???? LMAO - sorry - don't forget - I work for the government now - if we want snacks - we bring them and hide them in a locked drawer in our office

grrr.... all my salary-paid coworkers are leaving work right now heading to an outdoors live music/beer garden party in downtown. I'm going too, but since I'm an intern I'm supposed to stay until 5 regardless... eff that.

Yeah, it's really sad! I think one of the staff attorneys started it a few years ago. We order a bunch of stuff from Sam's, and then we charge people 50 cents per item. It's actually a pretty good system if some people wouldn't take their co-chair positions so freakin' seriously! But, luckily, the guy who's a pain in my a$$ is leaving in a couple of months, and I get along well with the other guy.
^^^^what if there is not a majority vote by the committee for a certain snack??? does that mean you can't get that snack??? Again - I do apologize but I really am LMAO over here. Am glad the guy that is a pain is leaving and I hope you get a better committee member.
ps - I am bummed that you won't be at 'roo - I really think you and I woul get along great IRL

Oh, don't even get me started on what snacks we order! ;D The guy who is leaving is the one who places the orders, so basically, he decides what we get. He's toned it down a lot since his first order, but sometimes he gets the most random things! Once, he decided we should try getting raw potatoes to sell . . . because he thought maybe there were a lot of people in our office who would like to have a baked (er, microwaved) potato for an afternoon snack (he did not think that we should provide butter, sour cream, or salt, though). We talked him out of that one.

I found out today that one of my boss's is holding up a tuition reimbursement check that I had submitted. Now, I won't be able to deposit have towards balance on credit card and have the other half for Roo and trip. They keeping messing with me because they would like that I will challenge them if I think the residents of our community are getting screwed. And it is not a few bucks, over $1,800. Though, I guess them paying 80% of the tuition and books is a pretty good deal. I just thought I would have that money and not have to hit savings.

Me too!
Thats pretty funny... A single, nuked potato; served plain... A veritable taste explosion!
I hate to bump this thread, but my boyfriend went over to his friend's house to "discuss Bonnaroo" and completely left me out of it...grr. Makes me feel like crap
GRRRRRR at having to disable images/signatures/avatars to even be able to see the boards
and also not being able to see the 20 last posts
because there is no internet connection and the neighbors finally caught on and enabled a password.... the one that isn't protected goes in and out all the time... i feel like i should go over there and help them set up their network better so it won't cut out for days at a time!!!
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**

GRRRRRR - what is it with men??? why do they seem to think that the female in the house is the only one that can see that the vacuum needs to be run or that the kitchen floor needs to be mopped? instead of folding the clothes that are in the laundry basket - they use the damn thing as an additional closet - cannot wipe down a bathroom counter - will bathe in a tub that is gray rather then take the 5 min it would take to clean the thing - can manage to step over already sorted piles of laundry and then claim - "Oh i didn't realize the laundry needed to be done - you have to tell me what I need to do - I am a man - I don't just know what to do - I have to be told" and then when you do tell them - they gripe and grumble and bitch about it to the point that it would have been easier to do it yourself rather then ask them and have them act like a whiney ass baby.
i would sympathize with you, but instead i'll grr because i'm the (fe)MALE in the house that does all the cleaning. there are hampers for a reason honey. and we have multiples of them. she has little piles of clothes all over the freaking house!
Why the f*ck can I not find Mario Kart or Wii Fit anywhere? Why does Nintendo insist on making their most popular games impossible to find for the first 3 months that they're out? GTA is insanely popular and I could go buy that at any store around here right now. Why not Mario Kart? WHY!?!?!
GRRRRRRRRRR. Two people in my office have quacking staph infection. Anddd I wasn't aware of it until after I sat at one of the girl's desk and whatnot. I immediately went wash my hands and use clorox wipes to clean off my body...but I'm still reallllyy scared. The last thing I want at Roo is staph. And not just at Roo, but I don't want it period. Oh my god...
