    Things you don't want to hear at work

    This just came over the loudspeaker at work.

    "The New York City Police Department has asked us to tell you that no one should leave the building at this time and that you should stay away from any windows."

    What you talking about, sea2ski?

    (I kid, I kid).

    I'm sure it's nothing, probably just a bomb scare If there was anything to worry about, they would have cut your internet and phone links by now.

    Do you realize that you've just posted an admission of ignorance so breathtaking that it disqualifies you from commenting on any political or economic threads from here on out?

    On 3rd Ave a block from the Citicorp Center. British Consulate on the floor below me and the Israeli Consulate in the building across the street. Can you say soft target.

    I always used to wonder how people in Israel or any other country that had a lot of terrorist bombings would continue with their normal lives with all the terrorist threats and bombings. I think after six years of working in a building that would definitely be one of those soft targets you read about in the paper(We've been bombed once), I now know that you begin to treat terrorism as just another crime and realize to just be aware of your surroundings because that's all you really can do.

    Well, I think I now found the upside of having another building evacuation.

    There are certainly a few hotties that are currently working in my building.

    Oh yeah.

    How's this for hearing things at work:

    "We found a worm ... in her colon."

    That's just the tip of the iceberg ... doesn't hold a candle to the Harborview stories.

    My roommate in Jackson was a CNA while all the rest of us worked in ski shops and the like. After her first week of work we started calling her position a Certified Ass Wiper and Pussy Cleaner because she was working in the Terminal Unit. By her second week, we were so disgusted by her stories that a similar ban was placed on who in our crew could tell work related stories. She was the only one restricted. I am glad that there are people out there that can do that work...but fuck I don't need to hear about it!

    No unfortunately short skirts have vanished from the streets of Manhattan to be replaced by either Ugg boots or black leather boots that go to about mid calf. That can only mean two things: Winter is coming and there will be a surge of productivity at construction sites around the city.

    How about "The company is conducting random drug tests today." and you've forgotten to have your Pure Test with you.

    Thankfully not literally.



    And boots to Mid-calf means God loves us. So do Thongs, boyshorts, and chix in general.
