That just reminds me of a euphemism for being fired that I recently read at work. Our senior management is working to be more communicative and is sending out monthly data packets. In it they cite "involuntary turnover," and it didn't take too long to grok what they meant.IMBoring25 wrote:Is "spontaneous" in this instance synonymous with "accidental" or "involuntary?"
What was I watching where the guy ate his "Pink Slip" to make it disappear so he didn't get "laid off"?tankinbeans wrote:That just reminds me of a euphemism for being fired that I recently read at work.

As for me, I'm going to purposefully put that off as long as possible, even though I'm 33 and my mom nags me relentlessly about wanting a grandchild.

our call notes/time stamps were all off and confused starting hours before the time change.tankinbeans wrote:I was in the car and in an unfamilar area last night when it was time to reset the clocks. I had SATNAV going at 1:15 and the durn thing told me I'd arrive at 3:03. This made no sense as the journey was to be about 50 minutes give or take. I started getting agitated until I realized the car resets itself.

also the "mbr adv eta 60m" was more like "2 hours" but one hour was missing so it really was only 1 hour....that screws with the mind. i also worked until 9 instead of 8 to make sure i worked 8 hours. i missed church.
Changing the clocks is part of an amalgamated way of announcing to the world that when you are here, this is the time that we are keeping. It goes back to the original reasons for having standardized time zones. When Ugh and Lih lived in a cave and never ventured far from it, nobody was jumping off a jet plane to do bidnest with them. They were most likely active during daylight hours, but retired to sleep when it got dark. What else were they going to do at night, stare at the lights in the sky and grunt "Those stars over ther remind me of Obrien, the drinker!"?IMBoring25 wrote:I've always found changing clocks an absurd exercise when we could just go to work at a different time.
Channeling Paul Simon?potownrob wrote:why do eye want a wrx??
eye googled "'paul simon' and 'wrx'" and came up blank. actually, the first three results recommended listening to "slip sliding away", "graceland" and "the boxer", respectively. thought maybe paul owned a wrx for a minute there...tankinbeans wrote:Channeling Paul Simon?potownrob wrote:why do eye want a wrx??
