Overheard at the office: Rich chicks are HOT!

Posted by Bartleby on November 9, 2007

 This one sided covo was overheard coming from the 55+ year old mouth of the weird, geeky tech-support guy, lets call him Allen.  Someone (i think from within the office) calls Allen to tell him that their computer problem is fixed.  He quickly is districted by a pack of “hot rich girls.” I can only imagine who he could have been on the other end of the phone and their reaction.  Keep in mind that this expression from Allen is not out of character.

There is a group of girls running by the office building yelling “whoowhooo”

 I don’t know, must be from the high school nearby, rich area

 I hate to say this but RICH CHICKS ARE HOT!

I was at (inaudible) the other day and wow…now I’m talking about the moms not the daughters (sure..)

I mean they got money to go to the gym, get their hair done, look good.

…No, no that’s not dirty….

Ron Paul shocks the world with 24hr fundraising

Posted by Bartleby on November 9, 2007

$4.3 million in one day! Pretty freaking amazing. Paul is known for his internet following and you may wish to cynically compare his efforts to Howard Dean’s falter but Paul is something real.  Take straw polls fwtw but Paul placed first, edging out hometown favorite Rudy, in the New York Straw Poll!  While the GOP fails to take him seriously you can’t ignore his war chest, although not backed by gold, is unusually large for such a “long shot.”  I know the focus is on the GOP nomination but an independent candidacy would bring even larger support from both sides.  He may not have enough cash to get on the ballot as an independent in all states but perhaps just enough to give the GOP establishment the middle finger, the same GOP establishment who has seemingly abandoned core principles of small government, spending, etc.  GOP needs to think twice before kicking around Ron Paul.  How easy they forget the effect of Ross Perot in 1992 and Pat Buchanan in 2000…

dreaming of co-workers revisted

Posted by Bartleby on November 9, 2007

not me but the same peer at the office who prompted this post.  This time she dreamed about a different co-worker and the co-worker’s son.  It was a bizarre dream as many dreams are, that’s another reason to keep it to yourself.  I should mention that the dreamer is female and the co-workers she relays her work dreams to are also females.  Do you think she would tell me she had a dream about me (being the man that I am).  As innocent as the dream may be, that would really cross the line and rob me of the usual convenience of hiding my cringe behind the walls of my cube.
