for about 20 minutes. I just wanted to let you know I really am still here. Nothing interesting has been going on in my life so I haven’t had a thing to say. I’ll try to knocksomeone down at work or start a fire while mowing just to entertain the masses. ---

Mully - When you purchased the “married with puppy, life in the suburbs” option, one of the documents you signed addresses this specific issue. Refer to document 156, section 3987, subsection A.174.6C, paragraph 752: > [@](#): > > In leiu of an interesting life, you shall instead forever pay interest on your lifestyle. It’s a pretty standard disclaimer. Pretty soon you’ll find joy in discussing the relative merits of seeding vs. sodding and white picket fence vs. red tip privacy hedge. You will have become the Plastic American. Do not fight it. Come with us. _Be_ one of us. It’s for the best, you know. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Eutychus55 \* > **Oh, sure … I do the work and HE gets the hug.** Thought you quit. Yeah, I remember your exact words, “I Quit.” One of the rules is that all credit you earned while in the job is to be shared between the surviving teammates, while all their blame is to be place on you. Don’t like it? Shouldn’t have quit. [sub]glad yer back[/sub] ---

Quit? Euty, quit? And have the entire free world come crashing down around us? We couldn’t allow that. We talked him out it with a hefty raise (a second coffee mug). [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-leaving-this-board/42926.md?page=2)
