hypothetical situation of the day:

you're the president (of the united states, not the hair club or a star trek fan club) and you lose your bid for re-election - do you spend the remainder of your term slacking off?

it's like, you know you're getting laid off, you're obscenely rich (so you're probably not going to need a reference) why should you even bother being nice to spelling bee champions or visiting dignitaries from obscure principalities?

i'm just thinking about jobs where i've given notice (admittedly, it's more typically me being presented with a cardboard box for my belongings and walking the green mile with an HR representative) and for the last few days, i'm absolutely useless - i surf the net endlessly, take 2 hour lunches, come in late and leave early. if i was the president and i was being ousted, i think i'd spend my last days surfing porn, drinking martinis for breakfast, and stealing as many of the white house office supplies as i could... but that's just me

  • "walking the green mile with an HR rep" hahaha

    um...surfing the net, taking 2 hour lunches, leaving early, coming in late...isn't that what everyone's day to day "work" detail includes? maybe that's just mine...? ; )

  • okay, i will cop to spending most of my day surfing the internet, but i do manage to come in on time and keep my lunch hours reasonable (only because i do no actual work, so the lunch isn't really a respite from anything and i'm excited to come back from taco bell and get back on the internet)

  • you've got me laughing so hard. i, too, feel a twinge of guilt for not "working." However, it is a fleeting twinge... All RIGHT! Back to the net!!!!

    (notice i used "all right!" in place of my beloved "wooo")(it was rather difficult for me to refrain I must tell you. i am an avid "wooer." haha though it isn't usually marathon runners at who i usually yell "woo" ...does that make up for it?)

  • Hey Keith -

    I heard Monica Lewinsky's single.

    I hear she's easy, and with all the head she gives I bet she's got TONS of fillings.
