Oh, I'm so excited! I get to review my boss in front of his superiors. This is going to be great. "For a man of his hygiene, he doesn't steal as often as you'd think..."

I would love to have that opportunity, but to do it anonymously.

...especially after this month!

My supervisor sits down with us and asks the managers how we would rate our fellow managers on a scale from 1 to 10.

At first, I used to be pretty conservative and give everyone pretty high scores. Though, as time went on, I started giving out 6s, and then 4s as they rightfully deserved. This was a good idea because the behaviors cited would be fixed for a few weeks after the intervention.

Gay flamingos adopt.

Great story, covers gay in nature, gay adoption and confirms my suspicion that flamingos are the gayest creatures known to mankind all in one.

Obligatory "Flamingo? More like Flaming-o, amirite?"

I had an idea today to sneak out onto my neighbor's lawn and plant some of those horrid looking pink lawn flamingos and put some more every night as though they were mating (or adopting, as the case may now be!).

You need to do that.

And set up a webcam too, to capture the response each morning.

I just accidentally put a max bid of $196,058 on a set of four Yankees-Mets tickets on ebay, with 4 days left in the auction.

Holy Shit!!!

I was freaking out until I found the "bid retraction" button.

Holy Shit!!!!!

I want to get ahold of one of those hidden pen cameras, but those could be expensive. Maybe this summer.

Heh.  Are you going to be in NY that weekend?  We're getting a ticket for me, Enrique, my dad and Enrique's dad.  Enrique is a Met fan, the rest of us are Yankee fans.
