That's cool if you're an American but if you're foreign like me, you've got a work visa that's tied to the shitefilled company that you despise, you're weeks away from your green card, and every week is like you're mired in no-mans land in this big fucking war of attrition.

Doesn't the American way promote a meritocracy? Not a scenario whereby the most sneaky and slimey maneuverers attempt to outflank someone based upon fallacy and deceit. That's not the American way really is it?

College just doesn't prepare you for this shite. I think they should change up the curriculum such as - Office Politics 101: Your boss is a cunt and you can be a dick to him but in such a way that he thinks you're cool and a good worker. Final Exam: Learn to take it like a man when he takes credit for your good work and doesn't acknowledge you - Office Finance 101: They promise you a raise. It doesn't transpire. Now you're faced with a pay cut 'cos times are tough. Pay your mortgage and bills on your now reduced salary. - Office Ethics 101: Fuck them all. They told you one thing and did another. It's time for you to be a selfish bastard and get on with your life on your terms. - Office Drama 101: You're the boss. Feign concern when you lay off 5 folks on a Friday and then call an all hands meeting and tell the troops that by golly we'll soldier on. I know I'm a pussy, but why the fuck does corporate life have to be filled with liars and untrustworthy sonsabeeatches?

Fridays at work suck even more than Mondays cos that's the day that they let folks go...5 people from my office today. The place is like a funeral. Everybody quiet and shit. Work sucks. Reality Bites or something like that.

Yeah, I should have been clearer. From my limited understanding, it's illegal to hunt them, but they haven't had any help like the wolves have had by being reintroduced to various areas and so on. The article in Outside mag was really interesting in cataloging some of the sightings and consequences we humans have had when coming into contact with them. Quite grizzly.

That's wild shit Jim. Did you read the article on cougars in the latest Outside mag? I didn't realize they went for adult meat too. I thought only little kids were in danger. Holy shit. It's amazing how they've made a comeback without any government protection programs and what not.

I just got issue 2 in the mail last week, and not sure what to make of it. Some cool pics and what not, but seems like a lame attempt to be high brow and panders to the tales of karma and inner serenity and all that crap. Anybody else read it?

Get on Middle Fork Road (exit 34 I believe from I-90) just past the truck stops. Drive about 3 miles and you'll see a parking lot on your left hand side and a gate off to the right. The first 1/2 mile is a logging road. The entrace to the trail is a little path into the woods on the left hand side. It's much steeper than Si, the trail is not at all well maintained and I'd be VERY impressed if you were able to run up that trail. Distance is about 3 miles up I believe with about 4000 feet elevation gain. There's now a fire hydrant and ladders up there to keep the mailbox company. It's a nice day for it for sure.

Dude, I went to university in Thibodaux, Louisiana, 45 mins SW of N.O. for 3 years....Nawlins sux ass if you're there for longer than a weekend. The chicks are pretty decent, but the beer goggles invariably elevate them to "babe" status. During Mardi Gras this year, i got a TR from one of my buddies...turns out one of our buddies got a hummer from a dude dressed as a chick. He had no idea...beware of overly thick Beer Goggles!

eh?

This downturn has been a wake up call for me. What a naive bastard I was to think that working for a corporation is a mutual relationship built upon trust. Screwing over employees at every opportunity when the economy is shit in the name of saving the company is bullshit. When times are cushy, they'll say anything to get you on board. Now that times are shit, you can see what the snide lying weasels are really like. I have this short skinny fucker for a CEO from India. He treats everyone like shit, disrespects everyone with his flippant comments, listens to no-one, and thinks women are worthless. This attitude seems to be permeating throughout the firm now to the point where I trust absolutely no-one. Coming in everyday to this shite is a disgusting experience. Thank god I'll soon have my green card and can get the fuck away from his filthy shite pile of a firm. I hope the company goes down the fucking tubes taking his arrogant arse and depositing it in the gutter where it belongs. The worst part is listening to all these liars lying to your face knowing that they know you know they are lying and thinking that if this were in the streets or in the pub, you'd fucking knock them out with the biggest fucking Glasgow kiss you ever delivered. Thankfully though, there's sex, beer, and sports to get you through these shitty times.

I'm outraged.

Stop spraying and hop to it man! There's customers up front and burgers to flip!

Maybe you have no stories to tell? Oh yeah, in my defence, although I shared the stories, I didn't divulge any names. I could for the right price though.

Nothing wrong with reminiscing of days gone by amigo.

That's because They're scared of guys like you!

That also reminds me...what's the oddest fantasy you ever heard? That same chick wanted to wrap us together in black garbage bags with baby lotion. What a freak.

That's a good one man. Let's see...I once got oral from a chick in a taxi. That was the same night I shagged her mate in the women's bathroom at the student union pub in at Strathclyde uni. in Glasgow.

It feels like summer Greg. All the wimmin have been hibernating and now they're wearing short skirts and TFT (tight fitting tops). Can you blame me?

You know those lame license plate holders that say something like, "I'd rather be playing golf" I'm sure we can come up something way better than that. I'm going for "I'd rather be shagging in a portaledge"

Is that like a Mojito? That's what Hemingway used to drink... Oh yeah, I was in Louisville a couple of months ago. Apart from the Louisville Slugger museum and Jillians selling 5 drinks and unlimited gaming for $10, that place sucks.

The shoe description reminds me of a dude I saw on the bus yesterday. I was downtown Seattle. I think the dude had just come from the courthouse. Black guy with long curly greasy hair. Sitting with a tight grey shiny suit and black tie wearing balck shades. Covered in jewelry. The best bit was his black crocodile skin shoes with gold tips. I shit you not. He was carrying a small black holdall. Now that I think about it, maybe he was going to rob a bank.

What are you talking about? - was my witness all the times I've been shagging!

Beer of the day. Rock Bottom Brewery...Pale Ale. It was ok. Now I feel like the day can begin. Anybody already cracked the first one open?

Many a burd I've shagged Closed my eyes, kissed and gagged Some were yummy and tasty Others were ugly and pasty It's true though that we like to shag Whatever it takes sometimes a hag Just close your eyes and think of a playboy bunny Look all serious even though it's so fucking funny Get done and out as quick as you can Zip up your pants, yeah you're the man...
