People who show up to work when sick, thinking it will impress the boss as being dedicated.

Then when the boss says get the heck out of here, they fiddle flock around for an hour taking care of things that simply cant wait, before finally leaving.
All they're doing is getting everyone else sick on the way out.

The company I work for is looking at rewriting policy now to penalize folks who come in dog sick.

Kentucky got its first case of COVID-19 yesterday, so tensions were high. Someone at work was sent home after sneezing one time too many...

Pet Peeve?

I use a spoon to eat my oatmeal in the morning.
I also use it to eat ice cream.
But I never use it to shoot an animal.

A gun is a gun....not a spoon.

I agree but you're going to make the boys in the tree-house club mad for not using the secret decoder ring word.

Also,
If I haven't mentioned it, there must be some kind of rule for Excellence Magazine writer. It seems like the word "bespoke" shows up constantly.

LOL! I get it. When I first came here I though there was some prohibition against using the word "gun" so they created a secret substitute.

I can't pin point the time, but there was some discussion about the word "gun" popping up frequently and the web crawlers picking up on it as well as the NSA given the rise in alert sensitivity.

No joke, some girls I knew back in the 70's were at the local airport and one spoke of a 'bomb' in casual conversation. They were whisked away immediately. It turned out OK, but a major hassle.

The point being why use trigger words when something else will do? Any single person who engaged in a conversation here about a (spoon) is in a database somewhere.

That was probably when the rash of high jackings was in high gear. They didn't have screening back then so they took what you said rather seriously.

There are enough words and phrases in PARF to trigger a black ops investigation on everyone who has every posted in PP. Alexa is listening and your computer camera is watching. Muah ha ha. We, no I mean they are recording you right now.

Your coordinates are still programed into the system for response to a nuclear attack. Bunker Busters with your name on it!
