## I know this is the pit, but I gotta thank TOMNDEBB and JODIH for setting my mind at ease about taking the job at the law firm. I can’t tell you how many people are treating me like I’m being thrown to the wolves! I even had a dream about it last night. But, I’m a person that can take a ton of crap from people before I’m pushed to my edge. Hopefully, that will help, too. “They have the internet on computers now.”–Homer J. Simpson ---

Oh, and, JODIH: I understand exactly what you’re talking about now. At the job I’m leaving next week, I work with someone who can’t remember a conversation we’ve had three hours before and when I mention something we’ve discussed, he says, “That’s a new one on me”. THIS guy has pushed me to the edge. He’s not the darkest pair of jeans on the line, if you know what I mean. It all comes down to no common sense. ## And that’s what I’m sick, sick, sick of! “They have the internet on computers now.”–Homer J. Simpson ---

this is a nice thread 🙂 there are plenty of things people are sick, sick, sick of. are those things that we can do without? its all about choosing what i want, and what i dont want isnt it? like, i dont want coca-cola, mcstuffers, the “usa rules the world” attitude i quite frequently see and people who dont mind their own bussiness etc… bj0rn ---

BJORN – Actually, that made a shocking amount of sense. And I – I – well, I _agree_ with you. Time to log off. * * * Jodi _Fiat Justina_ ---

Jodih - who’s Justina? And why do you want her to get done? I think what you mean is _fiat justitia (ruat coeli)_. ---

Matt – Oh, how embarassing. All that Latin, and I’m undone by a typo. I will fix it ASAP – thanks for pointing it out. ---

You lost me, Satan. Since, when last sighted (at least by me), you were laboriously trying to administer CPR to a clearly deceased horse yourself, maybe it’s not “too easy” (whatever that means) but simply too, too familiar. * * * Jodi _Fiat Justitia_ ---

jodih: A great thread from a great thinker! I never “get sick” of reading your posts! I saw some of the God threads thingy. You were brilliant. I have seen quite a few negative comments about you, my take is that when someone smart comes along, it pisses people off. Good luck at the job!
