Maybe you are due for: promotion! :w00t:

Nah, they only have the right to kick me out; they can't promote me.  That decision rests with another department far far away.

I met a group of senior managers at the lift lobby.  One of them elected to inform me that my name was mentioned and discussed at their lunch. 

The last time that happened, I was kicked out of the department within weeks. 

Why can't I just be totally obscure?  Good luck to me  :cry:

That sounds rather bastardy.

That was more WTF than arrousing.

Curiously that describes perhaps 80% of porn on the internet.

Not on my Internet, sirrah.

Lunch
Rice - Good
Unidentified soup (bean curd?) - Good
Salad with unidentified fried substance - Good
Unidentified Salad Dressing - Ick
Kimchi and unidentified fermented vegetables - good

Lies!

What other Korean foods have you tried?  Have you tried any American type restaurants?

Baked fish, octopus soup, various soups and stews with fish or pork. Lots of spicy stuff. Korean barbeque is by far the best.

Spicy?  Bullshit.  Koreans have completely vestigial taste buds, in order to further their filth-eating lifestyle.  They don't know spicy from ketchup.  No, that's not hyperbole.  I asked for spicy and THEY GAVE ME A SAUCE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM KETCHUP.

You might want to ask for "Korean spicy" or similar.  Otherwise, you get "American spicy" which is indistinguishable from ketchup.

Make sure you use a clear plastic binder.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Korea died or something.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
