Really. We had a guy where I used to work, now keep in mind that the position was that of a computer network admin...when I got stuck with him I told him to format a floppy disk to put some data on it...he was like "How do I do that?". It's one of the most BASIC things you can do when working with a computer. He made a total disaster of everything he touched, and I told my friend: "Promoted to management in 6 months". Sure enough, he got "promoted" to the project management group, given a laptop, moved to HQ, etc. What a joke. The Peter Principal in reverse.

He will do great in management, since you don't have to know the technical issues of your work, since you have someone else to do that for you, and you don't have to know your work either, since, as a manager, all you'll be doing is to create your own work and criticize others with no real reason.

I'VE MADE MYSELF TOO VALUABLE IN THE POSSITION THAT I'M IN RIGHT NOW. ALSO, THE WAY THINGS WENT THIS MORNING I CAN PRETTY MUCH GIVE UP ANY DREAM OF MOVING UP IN THE COMPANY. I'M SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING GOING INTO BUSINESS FOR MYSELF. I'M ACTUALLY WORKING ON A COUPLE OF DESIGNS FOR MY "DEAD HUMAN PUZZLES." (tm)

People!! Hofu is people!! It's made out of people!!

Not considered to be a spoiler since I didn't say the movie's name, and only someone who has seen it would know.

I'm gonna go with Dayv on the managers... i once had one who was stealing money from the store of a large company for MONTHS and never got caught, in the entire 2 years she was working there, over 35 people quit (the staff was about 8 or 9 so that tells you everything)

but right now i really like my managers, esp my male ones, they are awesome.

~* you know you love me... xoxo *~

While we're on the topic, can somebody please explain the ending to the Tim Burton POTA?

Theory A: Burton read and ripped off Kevin Smith's 'Jay & Silent Bob' comic series (a popular rumor)

Theory B: Monkeys are funny. Especially Washington D.C. monkeys!

Theory C: Tim Burton was too busy cashing his paycheck to give a rat's ass about any aspect of the film.

He tried to do some alternate ending to fool the audiences that were expecting the 1968 ending, but he forgot that and ending must MAKE FREAKING SENSE.

I hate the new POTA. It is another in the long list of remakes that don't belong in the same theater as the original.

I hate Shim and everyone else constantly changing avatars. *sign* People, just pick one you like and..........STAY WITH IT!!!!

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.
