Problem: My business partner and I are tired of doing all the work. We want to hire some people to do the work for us while we sit back, drink scotch and smoke cigars! And some cute secretaries to wear short skirts and look good!
Solution: Hire some!
Problem: No money!
Damn!
So: we need some volunteer flunkies, yes-men, brown-nosers, and floozies…
Hey, can I be the Big Lummox[sup]tm[/sup]? I love being the Big Lummox[sup]tm[/sup] of a group. I can move heavy stuff and be a bodyguard, and when I’m not doing that I can stand around and look menacing.
Mnementh, you’re hired! We definitely need some muscle! We’ll provide your choice of either a baseball bat, a heavy chain, or a tire iron…

[hijack]Hey - whats been going on with the family finding out thing anyway? Or did I miss a post/thread somewhere?[/hijack]
Astrogirl got back from Guam, and all seemed normal for a few days… so I thought we were off the hook. However, Astrogirl is off to Saipan tomorrow for a few more days in the sun, and when her mom found out about that yesterday they had a big fight (mom finds it unseemly to take 2 vacations in such a short time, apparently… doesn’t matter to her that Astrogirl has been working for 3 years straight without really taking any time off…), and the accusation of having a foreign boyfriend came up again! So… the sh*t still may be about to hit the fan! I’ll let you know if anything happens on that front.
Can I be the sleazy co-worker with the thin mustache who’s always making obvious double entendres to the short-skirted secretaries and does just enough work to keep his job?
Sorry, Crunchy, that position’s already taken (by my partner!! )… no wait, on second thought: you can never have too much sleaziness or double-entendres! You’re hired!
jayjay, it IS a long commute, but you can take either the bus or the subway…
iampunha, you’re hired, too! You and Mnementh are the muscle… one of your will have to stay silent all the time, and the other one will be the guys who says [30’s gangster voice]Whaddever you say, boss![/30’s gangster voice]. You guys can decide who’s who.
Now, we still need some brown-nosers, toadies, and be-skirted cuties…
Whammo, stick around, and we’ll get some flunkies for you, too!
I could be the sarcastic old biddy who never does any work, makes you go to the convenience store across the street* for my liquor, and who doesn’t look good in the mini-skirt, so obviously I know something that I’m just to close to telling to someone you don’t want to know. And I get a raise whenever I want one.
It’s got to be across the street, or else it wouldn’t be convenient.
OK, Kallessa, you’re in! You get to man (woman?) the phones (and ignore them all you want). We need you to answer once in while and say, “Yeah? Whaddaya want?”
And the store is next door, by the way! What can I get ya?
The Mighty Tiki God! OMG!
YOU’RE HIRED! Now, get to work or I’ll ask Mnementh and iampunha to “have a word” with you!
It’ll be kinda weird having someone named “Steve” wearing an miniskirt… but I’m open-minded. If you look good, trust me, it’ll work out! StephenG, you’re hired!
psst… hey Astroboy? I don’t think Mnementh would want to have a “word” with me (hint I did mean new guy when I said it) Now punha on the other hand I don’t know…
Bad news, all! We may have to fire Two-Tie Tommy(my business partner)!
Right now, I’m working (writing my ass off to get everything finished so I can go home in time to watch “Survivor”)… and TTT is over at the next desk having cybersex with some Korean-American chick in LA!
