*nods*
This thread & its regular posters are the only reason I didn't stop posting to ilx altogether. *big hugs to them all*

Hey, I didn't mean to insult y'all; do your thing. Actually, the degree to which this thread is self-contained reminds me a lot of Jay-Z vs. Nas!

I just got some train tickets in the post. Hurrah!

Liz just emailed to say she misses me. Aw!

I feel your pain, Sam. I just wrote a huge email to my family and my login timed out. Grrr...

I am doing well today, except that I didn't have time to grab any breakfast, so I'm starving.

I W A N T D O N U T S !!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 14:33 (twenty years ago) link

Donuts and buttsex in the city? ;-)

― Spontaneous Existence Failure (kate), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 14:35 (twenty years ago) link

I got some candy for my Secret Santa present this AM so I already ate a shitload of Jelly Bellys because I was hungry and frustrated with my printer.

I also I can't figure out why people are confused by these threads.

― NA (Nick A.), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 14:37 (twenty years ago) link

Nick - ppl are dumasses, that's why.

I'll just take the donuts pls Ms Failure!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 14:40 (twenty years ago) link

Oh whoops, forgot that was still there. It was a complicated Karl Popper Philosophy of Science joke. Never mind!

― Kate 22 (kate), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 14:42 (twenty years ago) link

I liked Citizen Kate!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 14:50 (twenty years ago) link

I prefered HRH Queen Kate, but hey, that's just me. ;-)

― Spontaneous Existence Failure (kate), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 14:50 (twenty years ago) link

like 16 hours later, they're begging (well, asking) me to take one. more. assignment.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:00 (twenty years ago) link

Charge 'em double & take it!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:01 (twenty years ago) link

Queen Kate was soooo you, btw! ;-)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:02 (twenty years ago) link

Me to bosses: "I'll take this one last assignment, but only if you let me use my OWN gun."

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:04 (twenty years ago) link

*nods*

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:17 (twenty years ago) link

One last assignment before you retire? You know you're going to end up riddled with bullet holes asking your younger, hunkier partner to tell your wife you love her, don't you?

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:17 (twenty years ago) link

I'm looking around the office for anyone younger, hunkier, and who possibly might "get" hip hop. Shit! The intern!

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:19 (twenty years ago) link

I skipped out of the office for a Caramel Machiatto! yum!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:20 (twenty years ago) link

Ahhh always the intern!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:21 (twenty years ago) link

ooy yum! You, me & Kate so need to meet up & go coffee drinking lady!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:22 (twenty years ago) link

Haha, I read that as "I skipped out of the office for a Camel Machiatto"
and was like, damn, I quit smoking for six or seven weeks (lost count) and they go and introduce new flavours!

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:22 (twenty years ago) link

"Shit the Intern" is the name of my new album.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:22 (twenty years ago) link

I just spoke with my boss. He's going to be at least 15 minutes late for his first interview! So, he says, "uh, when she gets there just ask her some questions."

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:23 (twenty years ago) link

so I just told my good boss that I would accept the assignment and he looked at me very seriously, more seriously than I've ever seen him look at me in the last two-and-a-half years and said, "Good. That's important to me, in light of the circumstances, for several reasons."

cryptic!

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:25 (twenty years ago) link

Hmmm *rubs chin/scratches head*

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:26 (twenty years ago) link

It's been really foggy outside all day today.

I mean normally, from the office window, I can see across a lake to a motorway and some posh flats. Today, nothing is visible beyond the lake and the lake itself looks like the Dead Marshes.

(Presumably filled with the bodies of former *** employees who fell during the '92 purge)

― robster (robster), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:26 (twenty years ago) link

He's sussed the bodies in the dead marshes, GO GO GO!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:27 (twenty years ago) link

this is starting to feel more and more like a hit all the time. "Nobody quits on us, NOOOOOObody!"

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:27 (twenty years ago) link

Sarah, just chat to her about regualr chatty stuff. Apologise for your boss's unforeseen delay, then just be friendly and nice and you'll set her at ease.

Horace, that "camel macchiato" comment would have had me spitting it over the keyboard if I'd been drinking one, which I intend to be in the next 10 minutes.

― Markelby (Mark C), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:28 (twenty years ago) link

Maybe it will be your last assignment in more than 1 way!!

x-post

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:28 (twenty years ago) link

If I'm not on ILX by noon CST next Monday, avenge me.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:49 (twenty years ago) link

Now the lake's disappeared.

― robster (robster), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:50 (twenty years ago) link

It's all coming true! *hides*

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 15:55 (twenty years ago) link

mY BOSS'S FLIGHT TO gLASGAE WAS CANCELLED THIS MORNING BECAUSE OF rOB'S HORROR FOG.

*awaits arrival of seaweed-covered zombies*

― robster (robster), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:00 (twenty years ago) link

So, I was just a sitting pretty, doing some work, with my pen in my mouth, like it usually is, so I won't forget where I put it, when I realized...THIS ISN'T MY PEN!

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:10 (twenty years ago) link

It's staring horace, put the pen down & just run, godamnit man!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:11 (twenty years ago) link

If Horace's pen started staring, I'd run, too. ;-)

― HRH Queen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:12 (twenty years ago) link

Staring/starting it's all the same!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 16:14 (twenty years ago) link

I'll see you all next week. I just feel a major crankstorm coming on, and besides, I have a ton of work that I have to get done by THIS FRIDAY instead of next Friday. Grrrr.

― HRH Queen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 17:03 (twenty years ago) link

If I'm not on ILX by noon CST next Monday, avenge me.

How about noon PST? I have lots to do Monday morning.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 17:32 (twenty years ago) link

Also, now *I* need a caramel machiatto.

― luna (luna.c), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 17:32 (twenty years ago) link

It's a deal, Luna. I want you to take the killshot.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 17:42 (twenty years ago) link

Why on earth doesn't Starbuck's (or any of its competitors) deliver?

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 17:42 (twenty years ago) link

OMG I have this raging headache and I've felt all woobly and disoriented since the drive home from Calgary. This is completely annoying. I have a lot of work to do today but I really want to call in sick. Blehhhhh.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 17:44 (twenty years ago) link

Maybe you could use a courier? Many offices have accounts with bike messengers and stuff (one local mag I used to write for once sent a bike courier to my house to pick up a cover for a CD review, and this was the same mag that for some reason took between six months to a year to mail out free-L cheques).

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 10 December 2003 17:46 (twenty years ago) link

For you, Horace, I'll do it.
