Journal Entry from last night's party: Plankton on the menu

[kerr_avon]

There was a department party last night. Or as the chief idiot likes to call it, a major event. By which he means that he gets to get patted on the back for my work.

The chief idiot waved me over to his circle of fellow intellectually challenged managers, only to hand me his drink and ask for a refill. I don't believe, waiter, is part of my job description. My many talents do not include forced labour.

He never once introduced me to his fellow managers or the Federation lynch mob bigwigs that he was talking to. Of course, I have no right to know anything. In the Federation food chain, I am plankton. When you refer to them later, my shrewd deductions will identify them.

It was such a thoroughly detestable enjoyable experience that the next time, I will come prepared with body armour. Wouldn't want to make it too easy for all the back-stabbers managers. Their lies praise was so moving that I am even more motivated to let them to fix their own messes.

Next time they decide on the menu guest list, I will strongly recommend that my name not be included.

Note to self: Plan debilitating illness for the next scheduled department party.

You seem to have two identical entries. Software too much for you, or is the overwork getting you down, or did you sample the dog food pate?

Hehe...actually it's an annoying reason. Seems that I have problems Xposting anything that isn't created on the current day. If I Xpost anything created prior to the current day, I get a failure message. So in order to post this entry, I had to create a new one but I kept the old one because I didn't want to lose your comments =)

You mean you post just after midnight? I usually write my posts elsewhere, then copy and paste into the box. I've never had a problem, either cross-posting or cross-updating.

I write the posts here and then try to xpost them several days later. For some reason, that doesn't work for me. It only works if I create a brand new post and xpost it that day.

I think that's how it's meant to work. How about writing them off-line in Notepad or something, then cross-posting them?

[kerr_avon]

I'll have to do that.

Feeling a bit of a mug, are you? I suppose your office is full of not-funny comic mugs people give each other on Federation day.

Not to mention not-funny comedians masquerading as managers.
