So I’m temping at a large Vermont based hokey corporation, with very little to do and internet access. You know what that means: DOPETIME. So how is everyone? Did I miss any big news? Any catch-phrases I should know about? Anyone come up with new ideas on how to make Swiddles lots of money? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Saint Zero \* > \*\*hokey corporation? What’s that? \*\* Without getting into specifics (I’d probably be breaking SOME rule around here), it’s one of the many corporations that capitalize on Vermont-ness by selling stuff to out-of-staters (ie: flatlanders) via the phone. But they pay hellua well for temp workers over Mother’s Day. Heh. Come on, people! Give me the dish! Who’s sleeping with whom? Who’s not talking to whom? I want dirt! ---

Welcome back, **Swiddles**. I’m sure you’ve heard all this before, so stop me if I bore you. Let’s see: **ChiefScott** and **Esprix** met at a rally and have moved in together. **Serlin** is moderating GQ as a temporary replacement for **JillGat**. They introduced three new smileys. A tragic olive oil incident has ended **Zenster** s cooking carreer, but he’s gotten a music contract, so all’s well. The Reader bought a new server and is going to issue free stock certificates to the first 10,000 Dopers to apply. ---
