I find the image of an aspiring competitive bodybuilder shoving Big Macs at me highly amusing.  :lol:

Nah, I'm powerlifting now, so I'll actually eat the stuff there. But I always enjoy listening to people complain about not losing weight while they are there. It's possible to do it while eating food from fast food places, but the average person can't make it work for them, so they're only adding insult to injury.

Too late.  I think a prior lobotomy may be the core issue here.

One of the biology teachers is breeding fruit flies.  I don't know why, I just know a ton of them made their way to the math workroom.   :x  :x  :x

Jerk.  Makes me want to hide food in his classroom.

Wow, what a sicko.

Do you, like, have photographic evidence of the actual breeding?  I have a perverse curiosity to see how that... works.

No, I did NOT remove the dongle on the back of your damn licensing server. Why do you assume I'm some kind of dongle-yanker?

Yup. Product software licenses. Can't go past our purchased amount or this guy will kick in and prevent further installs.

you said it was software licenses.  unless your company is insanely iffy about drivers, you really shouldn't need to distribute licenses.

Last night I had a record breaking 60% of my table not tip me. WTH is that about?

Onto the new job, LotusNotes is not rocket science okay. It's practically logical, which might be why its about to break your head, but seriously, it's not that difficult to figure out people.
All you're doing with it is scheduling dates in calendar, it's not like you're building Rome. Geez.

New shitty-job-inspired units of measure.  Typically these would be experienced in a given work day.

10 *facepalm*s == 5 *headdesk*s ==  1 "Really?"

Twice that is equivalent to 1 *jobsearch*.

Any questions?
