"Good" parents...

Everyone knows at least 1 person who, when you met their parents, thought they epitomize the need for a license to breed.... 4-Year old Brings Pot to Preschool

In the Era of the Internet its only a given that most people get at least half a dozen emails per day, and as a receptionist its only a given that I easily get 4 times as many per day and I have two recommendation to not have your emails be sent to the trash.

1) Do NOT type in all caps! I don't call you up on the phone and sit there and scream at you and then act confuse when you hang up on me for doing so!

2) Two words: Spell Checker!

Now granted the egg heads over at Cambridge University are convinced that you can read even the most badly spelt word so long as the first and last letter are in the right place. Can you read the below?


Suposdely olny srmat poelpe can.

A peek in Jill's email

So seeing as how I got 4 hours of sleep since I spent the night hanging with friends and have thus spent the entire day mastering the art of looking busy (it helps if you constantly shift papers from one pile to another) while mainlining caffeine, I thought I'd share some of the weird/amusing/stupid pictures that come through my email....



Yes men.. this is true for majority of women:

Ok, this SO describes Tanner and JJ if you actually got them to help you move... I wouldn't recommend it, god only knows what might go missing:



Dream on guys...


Being a baby is rough...

Oprah=Gold? Uh.. not this time

Apparently if someone promotes something on Oprah it makes godlen. But this latest attempt at a hawk just severely disturbs me: Handheld Portable Bidet Sprayers.
Its called TWO PLY people!! Learn to hit the paper!

You do the math... or not

So apparently there's a French website where you can pay people smarter than you (or at least more dedicated to the evils that is math) to do your math homework for you.


I have one question.... WHERE WAS THIS WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL!? I mean damn! If I had been able to pay some math genius to do my math homework without having to commit myself to a bad date at the Waffle House I might have actually been able to get into a 4 year college! Who knows... I could be working at something so much cooler than this looney tunes bin!


Wait a minute.. there could be a downside to supposedly being "good" at math, I might end up with a job that requires math daily. And of course, by the that point I'd been so used to lying and claiming to be good at math I'd be too damn stubborn to not take the job and instead screw the company over ala... a Stockbroker.



Full Story: You do the math. Or pay a website to do it

Think *your* boss is a moron?

The following is an acutal correspondence from the Big Cheese: George Alan Schaffer


RADIO X EMPLOYEES,

I REGRET TO INFORM EVERYONE THAT THE KIT KAT BARS LOCATED IN THE PROMOTIONS OFFICE ARE NOT FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION – AT LEAST NOT FOR STATION EMPLOYEE CONSUMPTION. THOSE ARE FOR SAMPLING OPPORTUNITIES ONLY. I KNOW THAT IT APPEARED TO BE A FREE FOR ALL BUT WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THOSE MUST LAST US THROUGH THE END OF MAY.

PLEASE REFRAIN FROM EATING THOSE LIKE POPCORN. AS WELL, WHOEVER BROKE OPEN THE SECOND BOX – REALLY WE SHOULD HAVE ASKED FIRST.

THANKS, AND SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.

GEORGE ALLAN SCHAFFER


Yes boys and girls, that really was a genuine email from the modern date Lord of the Morons. See! There really is someone dumber then The Boys: Tanner and JJ.

And yes, it did come in all caps, I'm just shocked he knew how to log into his email without a manual with more pictures than words.

All you need is... love?

Parents always tell us "you want a good job? then get a college degree!" And in this climate everyone's looking closely at resumes. What I want to know is what the heck kind of job are you trying to get with a degree in The Beatles!? (and yes, I do mean the band) I mean seriously? That's like saying I am working on my BA in Underwater Basket Weaving for a job I want in the potato-chip factory.


Then again, maybe if I had a degree in The Beatles I wouldn't be a receptionist at Radio X......



Full Story: All you need is love

There's always someone who thinks they're hilarious...

Button your coats!

I understand when its cold out when most people are expecting it to be warm out and/or when it normally doesn't get that cold it can be a shock.

BUT

If you can't manage to take the few seconds to zip up your bloody coat you have no right to complain about it being cold!!

That's almost as stupid as lying in the sun for 5 hours without putting sunscreen on and then being confused when you get burnt.

Rappers washed out Auctioneers?

So I've decided rappers are just auctioneers who couldn't make it in the cutthroat world of Christie's auction house. The reason you've never heard anyone say this before is because the Auctioneer Union is almost as scary as the Steamroller's association.
