Hypothetically
 

I'd just avoid this person. Anyone who angers the entire floor usually enjoys a short tenure. Secretaries usually gang up on these people and dog the person's porject to get the person in trouble with higher management. Just ride the waves. In a short time, I'm sure this person will be gone.

I had two laterals come in just slightly senior to me over the past few years and they both pulled some annoying shit. One did six months, one did a year. Both are looking for work.

These morons don't understand that certain partners are only boorish jerks because they can get away with it. They weren't that way when they were younger and needed people to help them. First, you have to get to the top, THEN you can be an ass. And even then, if you're at all human, there's no reason to be one.

I'm fairly certain it's mandatory. Sort of the same rule as applies to highway accidents and spontaneous combustion.

the men's synchronized diving was odd. Most of the pairs seemed to be physical opposites that made the overall impression not appear synchronized. Several were a chubby and a skinny and others were short and a tall guy. The result was it didn't look like they were synchronized even if they were.

Did anyone else watch the opening ceremonies? While Katie Couric and Bob Costas irritated me, I was even more irritated with NBC's FCCphobia. What is wrong with this (spree: artisticly, culturally and historically relevant image vaguely implying that a woman has bare breasts)?

And these guys were shown from the waist up only. (spree: artistically, culturally and historically relevant image that more than vaguely implies that naked men have penii).

Thanks
 

Thank you.

1. Neither one of us nags the other one. If you ask me, nagging comes from the fact that one person ignores the other one when asked to take out the garbage. We just take turns taking out the garbage.
2. We're both kind of messy. We both clean. No one gets mad about it.
3. We prefer Lowes

Do people who claim to "love shopping" buy a bunch of stuff? I abhor shopping. It is a necessary evil. I prefer to have things magically appear in my closet. I rarely try things on.

I also dislike shopping. My friends who are big shoppers like to go out and look at stuff even if they aren't planning to buy it now. I've never gotten that. I will shop if I have a purpose AND I haven't found the item online or it is something that I have to try on (e.g., an interview suit). Otherwise I don't go near a mall. Especially around Christmas. I haven't shopped for Christmas gifts in a mall in about 5 years.

Christmas shopping is an exception. Christmas (Holiday, whatever) shopping sucks. Sucks sucks sucks. I don't know how some people really get into standing in line all morning to go shopping at 7:00 am the day after Thanksgiving. I'd rather just sleep.
On the other hand, I love to shop. I avoid sales. That makes shopping more pleasurable. I am a small sized person and wear a shoe size smaller than a 6. Which means I can only shop at certain stores. The selection of stores gets smaller every day. I have to try clothing on and usually have to have my stuff altered. Sleeves and/or pants shortened. I can rarely buy work clothing off-the-rack. Casual clothes, I don't care.
Shopping is fun. Buying new things is fun.

I have sworn up and down that I keep seeing Kerri Strug (the gymnast who landed on one foot, to clinch the women's team gold or somethign like that) on the streets of D.C. around my office. I'd point her out and people would say "nah, that's not her. Bunny, how do you even recall what she looks like?"

So, I'm at a party this weekend and I find out that one of the Bunnyman's friends just hooked up with her in a bar, that she works in D.C. very close to my office. I feel so vinidacted.

There was an article in the Post about her recently. She's something like an executive assistant for a deputy treasury secretary.

Notwithstanding its many miles of majestic coastline, Norway is known more for its fjords than its beaches. The first hit on my Google search told me about beaches near Norway, Michigan (which does not have its own beach volleyball team at the Olympics, alas). Lacking a coastline (no offense to Lake Geneva), Switzerland probably has fewer beaches still, though modern technology and market forces are great things.

eta: STP. I'm just happy to see the Norwegian players there. Didn't mean any slight to Norway, and I'm hoping to see its fine beaches next year.

I was not inquiring about Switzerland. I attest to the fact that there are beaches in Norway because I have seen them with my own two eyes rather than a google search. They are quite sandy and lovely. I would recommend a visit. Do not question my knowledge.

Are we allowed to question whether you got any Norwegian wood on those beaches? My guess is "yes" if we are keeping score.

If you watched the Penn & Teller Bullshit episode on Showtime regarding cuss words, you would be aware that the cyclist should have used both hands to form the shape of an entire bird. It's the new giving the finger in prudish housewife circles everywhere. I'm guessing I'm the only person who saw this, thus making the reference that much less funny. Thank you.
