#3 Nice goin Patrick - now go back to playin Half Life in your mother's basement. And no it isn't cool to be a 20/30 something living there.

Just practice --- "will that be for here or to go"
"can I get you an order of large fries with that?"

#5 Every time anyone signs on to a computer where I work, a popup appears that you have to agree in order to access your computer. It's basically acknowledging that you're aware of and agree to the firm's computer policies. Everybody has to do this, every time they sign on - including the biggest wigs of all.

And everybody hits "enter" without reading it (again) and keeps on going, but if someone were to be as stupid as the idiot in question, there'd be no way of saying he/she didn't know about the policy.

When the tech people have to work on my computer - particularly if it's something they have to do while I'm gone - they always ask very politely if they can have my password, and if they root around in my computer. I remind them every time it's not my computer, it's the firm's, and as the firm techies they can do whatever they want (within the firm's guidelines) without my permission whatsoever.

Same with people coming into my office to get communal books stored there. Everybody is very polite about not "invading your space" and protecting your "privacy," but it's not my computer and not my office space either. I don't keep anything there (or write anything from there) that I'd be ashamed of. (I don't do that from my home computer either, but at least it's paid for by ME.)

I can guarantee you this clown's firm has stringent e-mail/net use policies, too. Guess he should have read - and believed - them.

"Do you want fries with that?" Good one, MAC. ;-p

#7 Patrick:

Can you give me an example of your strengths?
I will make valuable employee because I improve as I go from job to job.

good...and now example of your weakness?
I tend to get angry fast and I am improving as I go from job to job. Since this is my 20th job in 2yrs, my value is priceless.

#10 I'd take the bet - mainly becuase asshats liek that don't vote - they just whine and lash out when they think they can get away with it.

#12 I'd like to make a subtle, yet satirically witty remark. But I'm tired, so I'll have to settle for:

Hey Patrick! Neener neener neener!
