I cannot remember the last time I had a burger out, fast food or sit down. The last time I went out to dinner (diner, chain or real restaurant) was on September 12, 2009. I had a fantastic slab of cow at Peter Luger & got a diamond for dessert.

Though I am a fan of the great Archie Bunker, in real life, I have never met anyone named Archie.

Nothing racial intended here - just another cultural observation: Indian dude in the public restroom emerging from the stall after creating quite and odorous stink cloud - makes a b-line to the sink, turns on the water, wets his hands for what amounts to less than a fraction of a second, then sticks his finger in his mouth and starts "brushing" his teeth with his finger. After this, he then engages in the customary Indian Sink Bath (which I observe on a daily basis) dousing his whole face, hair, hands, and most of his forearms....leaving a lake of water on the counter.
The point of interest here is the fact that he used his finger to scrub his teeth immediately after his bathroom stall activities which presumably required much hand interaction.

Nettles is some kinda genius word-smith. How can one dude know so many 7-letter words?

Actually, quite a few of them were the result of playing around with combos and seeing if the Scrabble dictionary approved them. I couldn't tell you what half of them mean. But they mean big points!

I'm on Words With Friends on the iPhone...very similar to Scrabble.
The other day I got 69 points for a well-placed "BEAVER" with the aid of a Triple Letter tiile on the "V" and a Triple Word tile.

My favorite part of the anecdote is that you received 69 pts.

So my wife is enrolled at UCI, trying to achieve her degree in HR Management.
She is taking an online class that teaches how to constructively deal with "difficult" people in the workplace. This class identifies a few types of workplace personalities that can be perceived as "difficult."
Last night's assignment was to provide Marty's feedback in this hypothetical situation:
Kim is Marty's manager. Kim is a "Ruler-Type" personality who tends to be a workaholic with a heads-down/get-it-done attitude. Marty tends to be an exaggerater, especially when it comes time to estimate hours needed to complete projects. Kim assigns Marty a project she feels should take one week, but gives in to Marty's request for three weeks. Three weeks later, one hour prior to a presentation for which Marty's report is crucial, Kim reviews Marty's work and discovers that it's full of typos, grammar errors, mis-numbered pages, missing charts and graphs.
Kim gets Marty in her office and reprimands him sternly, crossing over the line in to personal insults.
Again, the assignment was for the class to give insight from Marty's perspective on how to handle the situation.
I was ASTONISHED to see how many people totally sympathized with Marty and suggested things as absurd as:
Marty looking at his watch in the middle of Kim's rant, standing up, and telling Kim, "well, we better not waste the next hour arguing. We should get to work and fix it."
Marty interrupting Kim and asking, "Wouldn't this time be better served in fixing the errors and we can revisit this conversation later?"
Are you fucking kidding me? Marty is a TOOL! A total flopdick who sat on his ass for three weeks and butchered an important project. He needs to take his medicine. Fuck Marty. Kim will fix the project and do it RIGHT!

I agree! Marty should have been beaten to death with a stapler!

Just finished watching two fantastic hours of television -- the Sanford & Son episode where NBC runs a show called Steinberg & Son that's an exact duplicate of Sanford & Son, but with Jews; followed by the three-part episode where Fred and Lamont go to Hawaii and end up getting roped into a jewelry theft. I am dumber than when I started (yes, that's actually possible), but amused.

Let's call your hypothetical Marty character "John," and I'll be Kim. I'm writing *another* memo to my clinic director about how John has not done jack-shit for three weeks, and the limited amount of work he actually did do, is well below the expected standard. This slacker needs to seriously be fired. Oh, wait, did I accidentally hold the worker accountable for doing his job???
