Annoying people at work...

My boss is as queer as a three dollar bill. He's such a nice guy. Very laidback and easygoing. His boyfriend is hot, too, but he has to be 15 years younger than my boss. Very Lolita-ish.

I'm sorry to hear about you not getting the promotion, I know you wanted it. Keep your fingers crossed and you never know, something might happen.

My ex boss has the most irreverent sense of humor. When we get together we say things no one should ever say. He's very good looking, he's like a Will type on Will and Grace. Actually, probably Will and Jack fused together because he is so f*cking funny. But he would never wear drag. He has perfect fashion sense, strange huh? My ex had a man crush on him. He rocks.

Thanks for the sympathy regarding the job. My boss wants to help get me ready for another promotion when it becomes available. Who knows when that will be but I appreciate her willingness to groom me for it.

My counterpart has been groomed for and given her promotion in our new area. Since she sucked the most ass, she has a guaranteed job, and the fate of my job will be decided tomorrow. It's a long story, and I'm not going to piss myself off by getting too detailed, but 3 of 5 of us are waiting until tomorrow to find out if we have jobs, or if we have to find different jobs within the company. Which would probably be a blessing, but nerve-wrecking at the same time, because we're given 6 months to find a job within, or we take our severance and leave. That's NOT an option for me.

Send some good karma my way. I'll need it for my 8 am meeting tomorrow.

I work at a college, and there is a groundskeeper we call the whistler.
Every morning without fail one can hear his 3-note whistle on repeat even while one's on the westside and he's on the eastside of a huge campus. Drives us all nuts! I find myself walking briskly while fantasizing of a treelimb crashing down on his head.

Next time...sigh loudy...and mutter "what would jesus do?"
When he peers your way...shrug your shoulders and say "my computers giving me grief too...oh well" and smile.

It's a mantra or a chant. It can mean whatever you want it to mean, kind of like a prayer or setting an intention.
Buddhists use it to bring themselves closer to the wisdom and enlightenment of Buddha.
If you've ever been in a room with a bunch of people chanting it, it sounds pretty cool and has a certain "vibration" to it. It's very powerful, IMO.
I've used it when I was conflicted or needed calmness.
I prefer the eastern philosophies.
