You theiving cunt

tsk. Gentlemen. Daniel’s right. There’s really no reason for this quarrelling. Bickering serves no purpose, and neither of you needs to sink to this level.

Lute, your comment was pretty easy to misconstrue and came off as a bit rude, but as long as Pedro wasn’t offended, that’s all that matters.
mhendo, we’re usually on the opposite sides of arguments when we debate, but I do recognize that you’re very capable of defending your position without the need to resort to petty insults.

As far as the office goes: I cannot tell you all how much work I got done yesterday. It was bliss. :stuck_out_tongue:

Wait, when does she come back? Isn’t her suspension up? What will happen next?

Any chance you can hire a new assistant and fob her off elsewhere where she won’t hurt anyone?

TC will probably get a promotion to a position where she can do the least damage.

Unfortunately for everyone else, it might come with a hefty raise…

You are evil ivylass! Do you hear me? EVIL! Fob her off elsewhere. Make her somebody else’s headache. That’s just so EVIL!

Unfortunately, nutjob sounds like on of those people who will be a PITA no matter where she goes. The only way to stop someone like that is to give em the boot. Then and only then will Maureen know peace at work. Well, peace until the next nutjob shows up. :smiley:

Quite right. mhendo has been defending someone who apparently doesn’t want to be defended.

Petty insults are typically the last resort of somoene who has reailzed that their position is indefensible.

Hey, I’ve been trying to avoid an argument while mhendo has been doing his John Cleese imitation.

I’m late coming to this, but Maureen, please rise and take a round of applause.

She comes back tomorrow. Which ruins a perfectly good Friday, but I expect an apology (I won’t demand one, don’t want one and won’t believe it when it happens, but I do expect it) and a very quiet TC who will go out of her way to do everything “by the book.” IOW, white mutiny.
I’ve been trying to get Jaade out here to take the admin support spot, but she’s apparently allergic to California.

swampbear, evil she is, but that’s why I like her. :wink:

BBVL, bite your tongue.

You started it! :smiley:

Besides, aren’t you the one who has some rather unconventional ideas as to what regards a cite and what doesn’t? If not, then I have you confused with someone else and retract my “clueless” comment.

I have no idea if i’m that person.

If you’ll point me to the incident or thread you’re thinking of, i’ll happily explain my position.

That’s the problem–I can’t find it. I can’t even find an earlier remark I thought I made regarding you and cites, which is why I suspect I have the wrong person.

Dammit, I want to work for Maureen now.

Hey, I qualified it! “Where she won’t hurt anyone.”

I’m not that evil. Or if I am, I’ll need to be a bit more circumspect about it. :smiley:

Aha! mhendo, my sincerest apologies. I had you confused with milroyj.

Who, ME or the coworker? (Either way, I’m honored that you remembered. :D)

If it’s the latter, she was recently spotted at the funeral of her mother (who was a wonderful, sane lady), and was telling people she lived in Detroit and was married to the truck driver.

I have nothing to say here that hasn’t already been said, but to recap:

  1. I love this thread!
  2. Why does this nutball have a job anywhere?
  3. Maureen rocks!

Well, despite your apology, you have officially just insulted me more completely than anyone on this board has ever managed before. Confusing me with milroyj? I never thought i’d be so humiliated.

:slight_smile:

Seriously: no harm done, and i regret my intemperate remarks also.

Now maybe we can just go back to agreeing about what an idiot Maureen’s co-worker is.

My God, Lute–no WONDER you were being so harsh to him! I think you owe him more than an apology. Hell, he may end up owing you a Mercedes.

Daniel

:eek:

Y’know, that isn’t enough.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Now that is a petty insult.

Woohoo!! Good to see ya, lady! You need to come around more often.
The coworker, of course. We all know what happened to you, and any recent insanity I place squarely on your husband’s shoulders. :wink:
Detroit. Interesting…I had envisioned a whole “Kalifornia” type lifestyle for her. Sans Brad Pitt, of course.
Married? I forget. She is completely and totally unable to conceive, right? Isn’t she the one who had the hysterectomy? Please say yes.

bows Dear lady, I am but a pale imitation of your too cool self.

[Lewis Grizzard]Dauym, brother, I don’t bleeve I would have tole that![/LG]
