That struck me as very hilarious just now. Kind of like when I went back to college and had to type in actual sentences and not have every thought connected with … I even added words like ppl and thru to my AutoCorrect in Word…

So I go to my aluma for recruiting. And the head admin who runs the jobs fair is chatting with me. Now I work for A&B firm out of Boston. Well her lackey keeps talking about Jonez & Bonez out of Worcester.
Well students are starting to come by, and this guy is still talking about how great Jonez and Bonez is. And how they sponsor this and sponsor that, how they hire X amount of people, how great the partners are. At first i just nodded and tried to let this blow hard finish, then I started cutting off his sentences to get him to stop. But he didn’t get the point.
Finally I looked at him, in front of his boss and two students and was like “Jeffery, I’m not sure if you noticed, but I don’t work for Jonez & Bonez. I’m glad your happy with them, but their table is over there. If you really feel the need to talk about them anymore, please go do it over there. I’m actually here to promote my own firm. Thanks.”
Dude was pretty upset, but I couldn’t take it anymore. [/quote]
This is hilarious! I love beansie’s stories![/quote]
It’s even better because I can picture him in a nice gray suit with those sexy wire-rim glasses…

It’s hilarious cause I wonder if it happened or if it’s a heavy hint…wink wink!
So, IH and I did a good deed today. I took the garbage out and when I was putting the bag in the dumpster there was a young raccoon stuck in there! He looked so frightened! He must have been in there over night, there was a good…6 inches or so of water in the dumpster. Luckily he did have some trash to sit on so he wasn’t in the water all night.
Anyway, IH went and got a nice, long, sturdy branch and put it in the dumpster and leaned it against one of the lids so the little guy could climb out. We left him alone and slowly he climbed up the branch and scampered away to a nearby tree and climbed to safety. He was probably only a year or two old, he was so cute.
Atty! Thank God for some sunshine, no? Sons moving into his apartment this afternoon, and starts his job on Monday. Poor bastard has to walk 4 blocks to work.
He’ll have to come back to Cali on a regular basis to keep the moss from growing on his back!
4 blocks? Nice. My walk is 12 to 15 minutes. About a mile, I think. I’m just happy that I can walk to work instead of driving or using public trans. My poor car gets out once a week. They are predicting a bad winter so he might end up complaining a lot!
