We’re trying to figure out if our office is cursed. Today one of our associate directors had to be carried down to the lobby (guess who had to carry his 300+ pound ass, naturally) complaining of chest pain. In the hospital for observation right now.
Six months ago, at a work function, I nearly choke to death on a chunk of roast beef caught in my throat.
Six months before THAT one of the directors across the hall trips on a concrete floor and splits his head open, ER visit, concussion.
Six months before THAT, our admin assistant gets diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
Six months before THAT, like clockwork, the same admin assistant tweaks her knee in the supply warehouse and goes out for a week on worker’s comp.
As if it’s a schedule or something, every six months someone goes down. Gallbladder eruptions (twice!), suspected heart attack, workplace accident - all around the middle of June or the middle of December.
I’m getting the fuck out of town for Christmas. Either that or calling Ghostbusters, y’all.
A quiet wedding you had then.
Congratulations.

Naw. They met, then he brought her here. (if i recall correctly)
Congratulations, you guys!
Too bad, I was hoping some rage filled post in P&R spawned romance and babies or something.
Dunno how, but someone managed to get ahold of my (or my wife’s) debit/checking card information and buy several thousand dollars worth of shit from the Activison/Blizzard store. I got a call from my bank’s fraud department about it about an hour after it happened today, and they won’t give my money back until they’ve “completed an investigation”, which they expect to take two weeks.
I’ve run several different scanners on both mine and my wife’s computer and I can’t find any key loggers or anything, and we use WEP encrypted wifi, so I don’t really know how the number got out unless an employee of some company we’ve done business with took it. Also, we don’t use ATM’s and only swipe our cards at grocery stores and big box retailers and the like, so unless there was a skimmer or something we missed, inside the store… it’s a mystery to me.
Our online transactions are almost exclusively Amazon.com too, with the occasional Dell or Paypal (ebay) transaction.
I’m glad we aren’t counting on that money to survive for the next couple weeks or anything, that would suck.

WEP’s been hacked. It’s had known security vulnerabilities for quite some time, now. That’s why modern wireless routers use WPA2 instead.
Where the fuck were you when I needed you? I don’t understand the usefulness of even knowing you unless your provide me with this intel before there’s a problem.
Well, based on Rimbo’s expert advice I totally switched encryption schemes. Let’s hope I’m not doing more harm than good.
I prefer the sound of MargeBags.
I go to work fairly early in the morning. I’m usually there by 6:30 so sometimes I’m kind of hungry as I haven’t eaten since dinner the previous night. A few days ago, I wanted to walk over to McDonalds (see my vitamin thread) and get a Big Breakfast as I was starving. As I was walking back to the office, this fairly old dude waves me down. After running to catch up, he asks me, “Pardon me. Can you tell me where the adult bookstore is? I’m pretty horny.”
My feet never quite moved that fast before…
…as you quickly escorted him there, arm in arm.
