    i'm jealous of this girl at work because she sucks up to the boss and he's such an idiot, he falls for it. She's not smarter or prettier than me everyone else doesn't like her, then why the hell am I jealous? it's not my nature to suck up to the boss to get favours, but maybe i should be doing this. do you think i should?


By TBone on Tuesday, November 14, 2000 - 09:33 pm:

    Of course. That's all this world is really about.
    Favors from your boss.

    I think you need to really take a look at why
    you're jealous. What are you jealous of? That
    she's got your boss's balls in her hand?

    If he's an idiot, then you really have nothing to
    be jealous about.


By Alexandra on Tuesday, November 14, 2000 - 10:36 pm:

    You're right, thanks. i guess i'm jealous that she gets away with so much shit at the office like "working" from home often, and gets more credit than she deserves. i just have to keep reminding myself that everyone else (except the idiot) sees through this.


By J on Wednesday, November 15, 2000 - 07:49 am:

    She's probably blowing the boss.


By Czarina on Wednesday, November 15, 2000 - 08:19 am:

    I believe that would technically fall under the "sucking" category.


By patrick on Wednesday, November 15, 2000 - 11:32 am:

    what does this co-worker have to do with you?

    probably nothing.

    so why do you care?

    do you want to favor of your boss?

    Is this an inkling of the o-so stereotypical female catty nature peeking its ugly head?

    Do you feel some sort of sense of competition?


By Cat on Wednesday, November 15, 2000 - 03:46 pm:

    "o-so stereotypical female catty nature peeking its ugly head?"

    My head is pretty. Don't use my name in vain or I'll have to scratch your eyes out Patrick.

    I reckon Angela needs to stop worrying about what her co-workers are up to and who the boss prefers. This is a bloody workplace, not the playground at primary school.

    Incidentally, men hate women bitching...if the boss has a whiff of your attitude, he would probably write you off as a silly useless bitch.


By heather on Wednesday, November 15, 2000 - 04:34 pm:

    is there something preventing you from enjoying similar experiences- like laughing at stupid jokes or maybe offering to mow his lawn?

    don't be jealous of something you can do as well- go for it, suck like crazy.

    or maybe you're jealous of something else?




    get a new job, that should do it.


By TBone on Wednesday, November 15, 2000 - 04:52 pm:

    You could offer to do some housework.. cook him
    some food, scrub the toilet...

    Then clean his clock.


By patrick on Wednesday, November 15, 2000 - 04:52 pm:

    some guys would pay money to have you scratch their eyes out luv.....especially after the ass shot i saw...


By cyst on Wednesday, November 15, 2000 - 07:06 pm:

    Czarina are both busting the bud right now


By J on Thursday, November 16, 2000 - 01:12 pm:

    and I...see?


By Cat on Thursday, November 16, 2000 - 05:06 pm:

    "busting the bud" ...it sounds like you're doing something else. But that could just be my gutter snipe mind.

    I'm still laughing at Nate's line about "unholy plungings" yesterday.


By J on Thursday, November 16, 2000 - 05:13 pm:

    It's a secret code.


By Antigone on Thursday, November 16, 2000 - 07:58 pm:

    Fuck HRESULTs. Use exception handling.


By Nate on Thursday, November 16, 2000 - 08:06 pm:

    SetErrorInfo/GetErrorInfo?

    blah.


By J on Friday, November 17, 2000 - 12:41 am:

    ??????????WTF???????????


By Antigone on Friday, November 17, 2000 - 04:30 am:

    public final static fubar() throws FuckinExceptionNumber9 { godDammitShitFuck(); }


By Nate on Friday, November 17, 2000 - 12:49 pm:

    java monkey.

    there is no binary standard for C++ exceptions. you can't throw exceptions out of COM objects.




By Antigone on Sunday, November 19, 2000 - 09:18 pm:

    I am a Java 800lb gorilla, thank you very much.


By Moet on Sunday, November 19, 2000 - 09:39 pm:

    No, that's your cat.


By Nate on Monday, November 20, 2000 - 07:06 pm:

    the java VM takes HRESULTs from COM objects and turns them into exceptions.

    or so i hear.


By Antigone on Monday, November 20, 2000 - 07:08 pm:

    Probably a COMObjectDidSomethingFuckinStupidAgain exception... :-)


By Nate on Monday, November 20, 2000 - 09:25 pm:

    your hatred is so deep seated.

    you're a bad, bad man.


By Antigone on Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 05:58 pm:

    I revel in my badness. Join me, young one...


By Tom on Tuesday, November 21, 2000 - 08:07 pm:

    damn. when I clicked on this thread, I thought it said "I revel in my baldness." I thought, finally, I'd found a home.

    farg.


By J on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 - 12:27 am:

    It could be a drunken delusion,but I think Droopy has a alter ego,do you Droopy?


By droopy on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 - 01:34 am:

    not on this thread i don't.


By agatha on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 - 12:03 pm:

    droopy is one big alter ego.
