My personal favorites:
1. "We'll have to circle the wagons on that" from the guy that has NO CLUE how to do his job and must go back and ask his employees what the correct answer is and yet REFUSES to delegate to them so we can accomplish something
2. "It's a good problem to have" from the guy who was too cheap to hire more people to do all the work we were bringing in so the "good problem" was overloading all his employees to keep his profit margin higher. (We all quit within six months and he was screwed)
3. "I don't disagree" No, you clearly disagree with SOMETHING, or else you would have said "I agree". Just sack up and own your opinions, if you disagree with something, tell us and we'll can talk it out like adults
Also, some said something similar earlier, but people that put the "High Importance" flag on EVERY DAMN EMAIL. Plus, people who do this are invariably are more useless than Mike London with a timeout and NOTHING they send me is even moderately important.
"We will be updating the computers and you may experience a bit of downtime."
"Does this look infected to you?"
Right on. Go Hokies.
Xbox 360 owner. Not gonna upgrade to new consoles until prices are reasonable.
I've been checking and the Fan Vote page seems to have an error at the moment, but the Bio Page now reads only "Virginia Tech". Maybe this means it's being corrected on the Vote page as well.
"Hey, Trevor, did you hear!?"
My response every time, "No. I am deaf."
Gets them every time.
Our family must be Virginia Tech. The turkey is pretty damn good but we CANNOT make rolls without burning the bottoms. It's a running joke and despite the fact that we joke about it leading up to the day, it invariably still happens. It's like Groundhog Day without Bill Murray.
We actually believe its more than one person. And its all the time. No clue who it is.
But they are NASTY.
I've been reading Dilbert comics online for the past 10 hours or so (not including sleeping time). They've got an archive back to about 1989. It's awesome. Turkey leg for you.
Oregon
Wisconsin (if we must)
Texas A&M
UCLA
Missouri
Baylor. What can I say? I'm a believer this year.
Ok, you have me very curious...
So you sit next to, or at least within smell, possibly eye sight of the toilet and yet you have never seen this phantom shitter. Does he drop his load in the morning before you get there or during lunch while you're out? Wait for you to be in a meeting?
From Georgia?
Because a professorship pays more than an assistantship. That's why. lol
anybody (particularly from a generation prior to Gen X) that says, "I was here at 7:00am this morning."
read between the lines as: "I see you strolling in here at 10ish, and I am going to in one single statement neglect to mention that I leave punctually at 4:00 while simultaneously invalidating your work ethic since I am not here to see you leave at 7:00 tonight with laptop over your shoulder."
VT was a top 5 team against a mediocre FSU squad in an ACC title game once..why does no one remember that? Are all you new fans to the Hokies? Know your history, upsets happen in title games.
See: KSU over. Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game.
Having the chance to win > being hopeful that you don't get beat by a top team.
We also have a "phantom shitter" in the office. There is a single unisex bathroom right out my office
and people go in there take a huge shit then spray a ton of air freshener and leave the door wide open for
the rest of us to gag on. Come on! Go shit somewhere else where no one sits. We literally have at least
15 different bathrooms here.
lol no worries, but thanks for letting me know that I wasn't losing it :)
Turn in your Hokie Pride and pick out an SEC school to root for, that is where you belong, sir.
So do you actually talk to the customers?
Then you must physically take the demands from the customers to the engineers, right?
What would you say...you do here?
this was actual conversation I had with my previous boss:
A-hole Boss: "I need this report tomorrow."
Me: "But it's not due until end of next week."
A-hole Boss: "Yeah, but I need to review it first."
Me: "But the meeting is literally called the Monthly Review Meeting"
A-Hole Boss: "I still need to see it first so I can prepare."
Me: "Prepare for who? Everyone reports to you."
A-hole Boss: "I need you to send me the report first thing tomorrow. Do it."
So I quit and started my own business. He was fired 6 months later. Karma's a bitch
Could argue that it is the Hokies? Team tries to be perfect - annoys everyone since team is not perfect, everyone drinks, and yelling starts because everyone is drinking
Amen, give me a shot at them, don't take the punk route and be glad we avoid playing top competition.
I can honestly say I have a fat white lady in my office who says "Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays". She had never heard of Office Space before. I showed her the clip and said..."you don't want to be referred to as that"
I have heard this lament before about actually being glad to avoid a top ranked team. This to me is total b.s. in every sense of what sports are about. Saying you are glad to not have a shot at a top team is tantamount to reaching down and tugging on ones nuts til they pop out and handing them over; because you won't need them anymore.
Where does it say we lose if we play? I know the odds and stats and everything else point to a lopsided game, but damn have some friggin stones, man! VT was a top 5 team in the ACC title game when FSU limped in after winning a pathetic Atlantic division, and they WON.
What are you going to do when a first year starting QB goes in to the Horseshoe for his second college start against a team that MIGHT be 2 years removed from losing their last game! Run? Hide? Pray for a rain out? Man the fuck up and get in there and play the game.

This is always my favorite midweek piece. Good stuff as always.
definitely not cool. put rubber cement in the latch plate with the latch recessed. they won't be able to securely close the door and move on.
