my new underpants are not comfortable at all, and it is ruining my day.

This is a sabotage. No serious letter of recommendation would be in this font. The person who gave you this wants you to fail.


L'inc then it is your duty to file the resume in the small receptacle ( that may be round or perhaps rectangle) near your desk that has its contents filed away each night by the janitorial staff.


Do you really live your life according to silly principles like this?

I received a letter of recommendation in comic sans. I wonder if I should interpret that as a signalization of repressed views?


Unless you are hiring to fill a position in the circus or kindergarten, (same thing, really) then you should not hire this person. Anyone that would get a letter of recommendation from the kind of person that uses comic sans serif has terrible, terrible judgment.

Inna fit of industriousness, I repainted a room yesterday. Well, just put down the primer coat, for you pedants out there. After cleaning up and feeling properly manly, I noticed my lower back was a bit sore. Since I bring the toughness of my immigrant laborer ancestors, I drank beer(s), watched Die Hard, and fell asleep on the couch.

Today has been an extended soiree through one of the circles of Dante's Inferno. My ancestors laugh at me in their jibber jabber languages (of which there are several, since I am a mutt of genealogy). I curse them and the weak genes the inflicted upon me. I also curse the weakness of scotch, Ambien and ibuprofen as I sit in a metal chair. My only friend is a box of donuts. I love you, donuts. I curse you Behr...


you are not pure of race, this is why you fail.


On the contrary, it is the purity of my race that causes the fail. Everyone knows that the browner peoples are best at the laboring. We of the whiteness, best at the supervising of the laboring. We're more... overseers, if you will.

My fail was to not retain the services of one of those helpful gentlemen in the Home Depot parking lot at the same time I procured my second rate gallon of primer.

also any check up with a urologist involves a rectal exam on the physical exam (wicked helpful in detecting a wide range of things).


Well, there goes my idea of consulting with a urologist over the results of the IVP and ultrasound I had.

I like my job. I'm given a lot of responsibility, I'm involved in some very high-level decision making, I'm respected by my colleagues and superiors, my work is generally interesting, and the future is bright for people who come out of the position I'm in. However, every now and then I have to take care of a task that leaves me saying, "I went to grad school to do this?"

Today is full of those tasks.

I'd like ham and turkey on marble rye, thanks.

I got over that a long time ago (which doesn't mean it doesn't piss me off from time to time). It's gotten worse the higher I've risen in he company too.

Today I had to referee a discussion about an awards ceremony where two people were arguing about who got to be the presenter and who could and couldn't be onstage. And then it became about bending the qualification rules so that certain people who just missed the window could still win the award.

I felt like canceling the whole ******* thing

Seriously man. Your writing is awful. Are you sure you are educated? There is no room for levity in this forum.

That's pretty much what played out, but in corporate speak - "I think we're not being true to our principles of inclusion and recognition, here."

****.
