i've heard this too and might have done it when my wisdom teeth were pulled, however, i can't remember.

I have never bought tea ever, just tea? I mean there's 500 types of tea at the store, which should I grab?

Just plain old Lipton (or similar common) tea bags. Nothing special. Just get whatever's cheap at the supermarket and comes in individual bags.

Word up

my new short boss (note: is he still new? it's been four months. is he new until his probationary period ends?) just walked into my office while eating caramel junior mints from a halloween candy sized box and said,

"scuttlebutt"
"i'm sorry?" i responded.
"scuttlebutt" he repeated.
"i don't know what that is."
"it means i have a piece of gossip."
"oh."
"e----- p------ is leaving. j------- just told me."
"i don't know who that is." (i really don't)
"oh, she's j-------'s assistant." he informs me.
"oh."
"just thought i'd let you know."
"ok."
"alright, bud."
and he walked out.

love the short boss posts.
I never really got them completely till I got an office job.
Now I really get it.
I too have a short boss. Very short.

oh, and i've realized he's a heavy "adder-onner."

"i'd just like to add to what h______ said about growth, bleh bleh bleh."

does this all the time.

I saw the host of Wild Chicago walking down Grand near Dearborn around noon today. I rolled down my window and yelled "Hey Wild Chicago!" and he just pointed at me and smiled.

This is the second time I have seen Wild Chicago Guy in the city. The first time was this past November at the screening for "You Weren't There". I did not yell out to him that first time but I am glad I did this time.

This reminds me, I had a boss once (not really short that I recall) who would drop all kinds of random words around everyone all time. This was a company that bought old trashy furniture and kind of fancified stuff and then re-sold it. I recall one day I was busy in the workshop and he came down from his office into the shop and just stood there for a while grinning and smoking and then said:

"Meat. Processing. Industries."

Just that. Then back into the office.

A certified bad-ass he was, too.

In a bid to combat lardyarseness, I went running at lunchtime. Wet, very wet.
