Pretty much.

Ah. Well I guess I just heard as being something that makes you feel better....I dunno.
Thank you for the clarification.

BigV · 11-09-2006, 07:10 PM

Also true, but less specifically so.

MTP, I always trade quips with the coffee baristas. They're generally at least twenty years younger than me.

(If they wore togas would they be baristae?)

I may have to call the pound on our own client. God this is so stupid. Why are people so stupid? I'm not brilliant........but damn this stuff is so unbelievable sometimes. She's an engineer for god's sakes.....???? I just don't know. WTF?
I am here to prove that if you aren't confused you have no idea what's really going on...

Oh and the truth is so much worse than fiction.......

This brings me to: why did I draft and sign that non-disclosure statement? sigh......

Someone was actually appreciative of the help offered.

Wonders will never cease.

Out of nowhere? They must be up to something.....

Well-that's how it is at my work...sneaky so and so's.

We're having a perfectly good night at work, see ...

Then, all of a sudden 8 police officers are in my foyer saying they were called for a fight involving 15-20 people on our center hallway. That's every officer on duty for our local department.

As it turns out, there wasn't any fight, but there was a psychotic guy who called 911.

I got to see what "the riot act" actually looks like.

I also got to see that our police department really cares about us.

Hey!

Do I detect a note of surprise? I am wounded. As a net consumer of help offered recently, I make it a point to express my appreciation.

If I have been remiss in this honor, I sincerely apologize. I am thankful. Thank you.

Once when I was working at Publix, in HS, a lady that never bathed came in.
Most people left, several threw-up, some from several aisles away as soon as the smell hit them. I am not kidding.
It was a long day, a lot of cleaning-up and two cashiers had to leave.

I have worked some strange jobs and had weird stuff happen in many of them... that sticks out the most because it happened so fast and was so "mundane" in a very odd kinda' way. She just smelled bad, but it messed-up the whole store for a half-a-day.
