I imagine she enjoyed both brats and brats (what in the world are brots, though?)

Just trying to differentiate between brats (obnoxious children) and bratwurst sausages ("brots").

Can't a girl pick on misspelled slang now and then? OK, I'm a pedant, I know... :D

Is it time for another 3-day weekend yet?

If it isn't, it should be.

Why do 4 day weeks seem a million times longer than 5 day weeks?

The difference is obvious: obnoxious children require longer grilling times.

because its still 5 days worth of work. its just all crammed into a 4 days now therefore increasing the overall "ugh...work sux" factor in each remainder day. now, a general increase in the 'ugh' factor of any particular day creates a geometric increase in the overall 'ugh' density each following day contains, thereby increasing the 'ugh' factor 2x the first day, 4x the next etc etc

this doesnt even address the same effect multiplied by the coworker variable. each of which adds their own increased 'twit' effect to the overall 'ugh' increase when they in fact try to shed those free radical 'ugh's to you, thus further increasing your discomfort.

basically it comes down to 'no good day goes unpunished'

:D

makes perfect nonsense, doesnt it?

(wow..I need more caffine)

:)

Actually, I fault you not.

When I first read the original "brat", I read it not as shorthand for bratwurst, but as "incorrigible child". I did a lousy job of trying to express my own ineptitude.
