We’ve got a mandate at the office to use new cover sheets for TPS Reports. I got the memo but forgot to use the new Cover Sheet this morning. So, now my boss, his boss, his boss (etc. - I have 6 bosses) have all reminded me that we’re supposed to be using the new Cover Sheet, and re-sent the memo. I GOT THE MEMO! I just forgot, but now I’ve fixed it, so it’s really not even a problem. OK??? :mad: ---

I always thought the squirrels were married, not merry. I suppose they could be both but that’s nudging things a bit into silly territory, isn’t it? If this continues, I’ll set the internet on fire. ---

The OP sounds just like the guy who sits across the cubicle wall from me. The guy is always giving me a hard time about my radio. I was told that I could listen to the radio at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven. I mean, Sandra listens to her headphones while she’s filing, so I should be able to listen to the radio while I’m collating. I don’t see why I should have to turn down the radio. I enjoy listening at a reasonable volume from nine to eleven, OK? WTF? ---
