Mom is spending more time at the adult day care place. She may start going 5 days a week. It has crossed my mind that I could get a "real job." Then I think nahh....plenty of time for that in years to come....but I should probably take a class or something.
 
I think today must be McHappy day or something because just about the whole office is doing McDonalds later on.

I am getting something. They have talked me into it. Something goes to Ronald McDonald House or something. It will be my first foray into McDonalds "food" since the Gamelive-documented trip a couple years ago - which broke a dry spell of probably decades.

Looks like I'm getting a Happy Meal. I had my options explained to me and that's what I decided on. Sounds pretty happy.
 
Do it Muddy...get the 2 hamburger happy meal. fries...some apple slices and a water.


That's probably not a happy meal now that I think of it...it's probably one hamburger...I think the other is a value meal....been a while.
 
It would be such a good pic too because he is up top on my desk beside my Kinder Surprise prize from the Easter egg hunt and also the card from chicky-poo who likes my CD so much.

A lot to see up there.

Well my Happy Meal guy is in this pic. He is the orange guy.

I could go on a chicken nugget binge. It's like Taco Bell and White Castle - you eat it and your shit then smells like it.

That particular facet of those three items is actually awesome but yeah, fuck fast food. One time an hour after Nuggets I looked back and there was a perfect little box of them in the toilet. Soon after Elizabeth Schu licking my balls the walls started to melt and I woke up.
 
Amazing lack of finesse on the part of management here.

First of all, one of the sales guys parted company. Fine - it happens. So they send out a company email with the news.

Shouldn't be a problem. It is standard policy that departing sales people leave right away - more-or-less escorted to the door - so they could say dude is gone - everyone knows the score - then thank him for his service and wish him luck moving forward.

Done.

I'm actually going to copy and paste part of it.

It’s become apparent that [Company name] trying to accommodate Josh’s aspirations and timelines was not in the best interest of our company; and that it is time for Josh to move on, outside of [Company name].


:facepalm:

So that gets the gossip flying hot and heavy that he got fired - which quickly escalates to talk of unfairness - gets the hens clucking - so then they call an on-the-fly company meeting to basically say, okay, he was not fired and we just want to let you know because the gossip and scuttlebutt is very distasteful and irresponsible, and we want to nip it in the bud.

In other words, randomly insulting about half the office.

Just, like, badly done people.


:facepalm:
 
lololol

I guess HR has a purpose. And that is to provide polite-sounding templates to announce departures/firings.

We use XXX has left the company when the person was fired and XXX has decided to pursue another opportunity outside of the company when the person told their boss to go fuck themselves.

HR is a hard job.

:jerk:
