I literally have to remind myself not to tell someone to stick it where the sun doesn't shine and to just shut up and do my job. A person can only take so much.

            My ultimate dream job would be to work as a forest ranger. However, I can't do what I want to do and provide for my family in a manner they are accustomed to on a ranger's salary. I love the outdoors and wilderness and little creatures that go bump in the night.

              I have decided to buy one of those mini recorders that the ancient ones use to remind them to take their meds and to flush the toilet. I'm going to use it here at the office to remind myself why I work here and why I put up with this horse crap.

              I've thought of telling people here to "go shove it ..." a couple of times. My CV is out there, but there doesn't appear to be a great selection of jobs availabel here :(

                I can totally understand that. I saw a position to be a forest ranger in the Chicago area years back. They provided the house on the edge of the forest, and it was in Naperville, Illinois, the middle of suburbia USA. However, there is a lot of Forest Preserve in the area. It was a sweet opportunity for whoever got it.

                    A friend gave me a cookbook: on the first page it said in 24-point bold type: "You will love eating the recipes on every page of this book !" I ate the first ten pages, and then I got real sick. best, Bill

                        Have you ever seen Stephen Fry and Delia Smith together? I think it is rather suspicious.

                              I think you should document those notes in front of the people.

                              Slacker007 documented in front of his boss:

                              Note to self: Stop trying to explain details to the boss since he will never understand them.

                              Then occasionaly slip in the "Buy an AK from the pawn shop" for some real excitement!

                              Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.
