A sad day for me - Page 4

That is a lame-o about the kids. I hope the transition manages to show some serious silver linings before long.

But, hey, since I can't post from work anymore ... and now scaeagles, too ... and there's others ....

well, i propose we close the board from nine to five weekdays. Howzabout it?

(I've been finding it hard to play catch-up for an hour or so in the evenings, but it's doable ... and although I participate in a much more limited fashion, I still feel this is my cyberhome.)

For perhaps the first time ever, I am completely with you, ISM.

Good luck with the new job, Scaeagles- gonna be a bit of a transition, but you'll figure out a new posting pattern: Get up early, do a quick scan and apply any retorts your sleep-muddled brain will allow, then get ready for work at the last possible moment and run like hell to get there on time. When you get home, go straight to your comp and edit all the early morning grammatical and comprehension errors you made, and then fire off some more potshots at the whacky libs. Check in on MBC to make sure he isn't giving appliances to others in your absence, then scan the Drudge Report for anything that is Daily Grind-worthy. Oh, eat dinner and stuff somewhere in there as well. Probably should say hey to the family, too. Then back online for late night last minute fix, and your good until the next a.m!

It's totally doable.

The best advice I can give is to become highly familiar with the film Office Space.

I have had several Temp (and now Perm) jobs in offices over the past few years and I don't think a week has gone by without a reference to Storage Room B or the Red Stapler. The term Flair is also fairly prevalent and people love to do their little Gary Cole impressions ("Yeah, uh...")

Office Space has definitely replaced Dilbert as the in-joke. What happened to Dilbert? Did he jump the shark with that TV cartoon? Or was it way earlier?
