Your book said the male cricket is the one making all the racket.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

But the pen leaves ink all over my face!

[Conspiracy Guy]

That is correct.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Chalk is worse.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Chalk is water soluable and dries to a powder that can easily be wiped off. Pen ink is not water soluable and has to be scrubbed off with rubbing alcohol (and sometimes some soap helps).

Lunch in less than 30 minutes!

[Conspiracy Guy]

Chalk will dry your mouth.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Are you at work yet? I hope it's better today.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

like, 'band stand'?

[Conspiracy Guy]

band, land, hand, canned, banned, etc.

[tuliptree76]

Yep. I'm at work. And it's busy as usual.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Never encourage a lib to vote.

I didn't think I was encouraging her, I was just talking about things that I have read here and other current topics in the news. I think it may have gotten her ire up. It's funny she's conservative when it's other people taking advantage of the system and getting all they can get, but when it comes to getting benefits for herself she's liberal. Many times she has commented about how she doesn't care about something if it doesn't directly impact her (or so she thinks). EX: 1) Something to be done here at work so that someone can get reimbursed by insurance, if it can wait she doesn't care because it's not her money. 2) When talking about the arena that the city wants to build downtown yesterday, she doesn't care about the citizens having to pay for maintenance in 30 or so years because she probably won't even live here.

I say things like, "All my conservative friends are jumping ship and voting lib because Bush didn't send all the illegal immigrants home. I guess I'll just stay home because it looks like Kerry has it."

I have a hard time saying stuff like that even though the ends of the vote might be achieved. I don't think I would be being genuine, I would rather say nothing at all. Sometimes the less said the better, that way when I do speak people know I'm serious (not series) and I'm less likely to show how much I don't know or am unable to defend.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Boss still gone?

[tuliptree76]

She's here...just in a different part of the building, so I haven't seen her yet today.

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

You still doing her work?

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

She gave you 2 extra caps, I think she deserves some extra special treatment...
