My boss is a complete jerk. Today he took us all out to lunch at Pizza Hut to celebrate the release of 11.1 and the completion of the CST.

1. Pizza Hut isn't a place to celebrate. It is two hours of agony spent eating disgustingly greasy food with my co-workers who are apparently only interested in sport.
2. It is inappropriate to talk about how much you paid for your new condo asshole.
3. It shouldn't be my job to pick up the pieces when you fire someone and nobody knows how to do his job.

Also: I don't get along with my officemate.

1. Believe it or not when I am frustrated you are the last person on earth I want to talk to, so when I grunt angrily at the computer... just shut the hell up.
2. I know you don't realize you are being rude, but the way you eject people from your seat when you come into our office makes me incredibly uncomfortable.
3. Stop having a hissy fit because the cleaning staff misaligned one of the papers on your OCD desk.

Last night after the movie I told the attractive young lady [1] that it was entirely my fault that I didn't get along with my officemate because I've never gotten along with room or officemates [2]. I've officially changed my mind because you, sir, are obnoxious, and incidentally if my rotten boss would do as I asked and moved me to aisle 17 this wouldn't be a problem.

I got a juror selection questionnaire in the mail today. Last time I didn't qualify on account of I was not an American citizen. Today, sadly, I suspect that I do qualify.

[1] It doesn't matter anyway, because she is spoken for.

[2] With two rather special exceptions. Both exceptions had names beginning with the letter "E". Interesting.
