I certainly have more allies than adversaries, but my allies are not themselves the political animals that any adversaries are.
If your work is genuine and contributes to corporate profitability and shareholders' returns then it cannot be neglected for long unless you willingly allowed others to misrepresent you.
I do my best, but the rats are kinda sneaky about it. 17153. jexster - 10/22/2005 7:47:04 AM 5 miles from the Mississippi River TD..
I worked as legal advisor to the joint venture that built Phase II Lock and Dam 28 Alton IL for the COE...
I know about floods and cofferdams and levees and flood control locks and spillways... 17154. concerned - 10/22/2005 7:50:30 AM How the mayor of NO and the guv of LA figured that just flapping their gums would help NO is certainly beyond me, but that's all they ever did besides sitting on their dead asses and crying 17155. concerned - 10/22/2005 7:53:43 AM Re. 17153 -
So you're one of the fucktards that designed the Category 2 levees for NO? Now I know who to blame. 17156. concerned - 10/22/2005 7:58:52 AM Jes' funnin' on yer a little bit, jex:) How's things? 17157. jexster - 10/22/2005 8:48:12 AM

17160. Magoseph - 10/22/2005 3:40:31 PM Hello! 17161. judithathome - 10/22/2005 4:17:17 PM Good morning, Magos! What's going on with you today? We're going out to dinner and to a movie tonight since I didn't hear from Summer Woman...some friends we haven't seen in awhile have been asking us to go out and so we are...going to see The History Of Violence. Even if the movie sucks, at least I'll get to see Viggo Mortenson. 17162. Magoseph - 10/22/2005 4:41:39 PM Hey, Judith—I’m fine and dandy, prancing around the house while Flexy is meeting with his kids and grandkids, a meeting to which my presence is superfluous, as I piously said to him. What happens usually when I accompany with him is that the four girls are much more interested in me than they are in their grandpa. Of course, their interest has nothing to do with my well-known charm, but only in the fact that I can play with them.
 17163. Ms. No - 10/23/2005 3:04:56 AM Ah! I loved that movie! 17164. jexster - 10/23/2005 7:00:02 PM Bring me ACE
Bring me NINER
Bring me PINCHER
Bring me RUSTLER
Bring me CALIGULA
Bring them all to MY PERFECT WORLD OF SHIT 17165. Macnas - 10/24/2005 9:22:08 AM What you need jex, is a little time off! 17166. jayackroyd - 10/24/2005 2:33:09 PM Some guy named Ralph from Michigan with a weird predeliction for caviar metaphors has a letter in today's NYTimes. 17167. Macnas - 10/24/2005 4:03:09 PM Too many caviar metaphors are bad for your health.
The sturgeon general says so. 17168. alistairconnor - 10/24/2005 4:33:21 PM That's wonderfully awful Mac...
The problem with stuff that gets me shaking with laughter, is that there's no way in the world I can explain it to my French office mates. So it just reinforces my reputation for weirdness.
(otherwise well-earned I might add) 17169. alistairconnor - 10/24/2005 4:37:34 PM The other thing that cracked me up today, I read in the Guardian sports section. This soccer commentator Rodney Marsh, explaining a bad-taste joke with the coach ended his international career :
Basically, before one match, he said to me "I'll be watching you for the first 45 minutes and if you don't work harder I'll pull you off at halftime." And I said, "Christ, we only get a cup of tea and oranges at Fulham!" And that's the last time I played for England.
It just doesn't survive translation. 17170. Macnas - 10/24/2005 4:40:41 PM Heard that before, still gets a chuckle. 17171. jayackroyd - 10/24/2005 5:29:13 PM Ralph's letter
Good job, wonk.
