OMG, and get this! AS I’M TYPING the previous post, the silly bitch is sitting next to me and giving yet another customer misinformation! So I nonchalantly wander over to a supervisor and mention that this loser needs instruction on this particular process and ask him not to mention that I said anything about it because of the evil eye she gave me last night. Turns out she sat and COMPLAINED about my talking to her last night for TWO HOURS after I left! What a tool!

**Otto** , I was simply mooooved to reply. What’s a cow-orker? Is that someone who orks cows? And how does one ork a cow anyway? That anything like tipping? They fall and make a noise like “ORK!”?

Sorry. As you were.

No, no, no. As I’ve explained before, “Ork!” is the sounds cows make when you sneak up behind them and give them wedgies. You know…

You: ::yank::  
Cow: Ork!  
(These are pants-wearing cows.)

Pant-wearing cows? Next thing you know, chickens will be wearing underwear.

My apologies to **Cessandra** for what has turned out to be a major hijack. I had no idea anyone would respond. That said… **jayjay,** that was hilarious.

Now, let’s all settle down – I **heard** that snort – and get back to the OP.

Ahem! You were saying?  
And, **Cessandra,** I can’t shake the image of you trying to type with a squirming infant to your…  
::ducking second brick:: WHO THREW THAT?
