  1. How about rejigging his pay package to reflect his work ethic? It could just pretend to pay him. Maybe. Next Tuesday.

    Um. Oh crap. Your company does that anyway.

    And you said wood. Nhur nhur nhur.

  4. Sloth Boy’s brother works for us and it’s true their mother is sick again – I know because he phoned in this morning to tell us. I was somewhat surprised because on Friday he took her to the airport to visit their brother in London. He hadn’t seen her since her funeral in 2005.

  5. Ja, see, you have to be clever about it and plan your excuses ahead. eg January = death in the family, February = inexplicable fever… etc. I have a calender.

  7. had an employee create a fake newspaper obituary for an “uncle” in Mississippi who died… she spent more time and energy creating excuses for not being at work than she did on the job. took 2 years, but we fired her! got a call a few months back from someone considering hiring her back – and asked my opinion as a former supervisor. i was silent for a looooong time…

  9. LOVE this one! Definitely not something serious this time… (It would seem that they are multiplying. Mine asks someone across the room to pick up the ringing phone that is about 2 inches from his hand while he sits and stares at his pc desktop.)

  11. I was on the verge of posting a comment when i stumbled on/over/reversed and reread your beloved fucketylovesyou’s comment!

    Now that my sides are safely stapled back together, i just wanted to know…. Is it true that a picture can say 1000 words – if so, how very well do you know her by now? Does it come with a subscription / free diamond-shaped blue pills / penis pumps and have you mysteriously won the Lotto seven times in a row by now?

    “hanging on for your reply” as well.

    your’s beloved one

    anicker.

    I heart fucketylovesyou
