[...] This post is dedicated to my cube-mate Leah, who recently received a surprise “gift” — a quiet-touch keyboard — from our boss, which succeeded in making her feel even more self-conscious about her “loud typing.” [...]

Hello.
Watched attentively by big sisters Maud and Leah the newest member of the Norwegian royal family has been captured in homely shots used by proud parents Princess Martha Louise of Norway and her husband Ari Behn to introduce her to the world.
Bye.

There is very little in the office I can stand to listen to anymore, people you are forced to spend all day with become so annoying with their strange little habits and noises … I wear headphones all day long now. I would have to find another line of work if they ever took my headphones away. Possibly as an explosives expert? They get to wear ear protection AND blow shit up! Hmmm, a career change could be in the offing…

We have all had the nesting option not work for us at one time or another – that’s when you state that you can’t at the beginning and/or at least reference the comment # you are replying to… makes things much easier in the long run!

Don’t worry! You’ll get it! Just keep trying!

Whether I chose to nest is not something to be correct or not correct about. Assuming I don’t know how is. So is assuming the website permits it at the time.

One can both accept someone’s advice and simultaneously not follow it.

The short answer is: Yes. Include emoticons, quotation marks or any other means to point out that, though you may have been mistaken once, the misuse is deliberate the next time.

Sarcastic tones of voice do not work well in writing.

Damn! Damn you edit!!

I had the BEST thing to say to you Jeff – but you discovered it and fixed it!! Damn! Double Damn!

Well, when you intentionally misspell something, the best thing to do is to italicize it, then we know you probably meant to do it…

(Here was my response, it was too good to not post:
I try not to comprehend anything as suck… it gets me in trouble in the long run….)

Do I really need to start including emoticons in posts in which there are intentional misspellings and usage errors in order for people to comprehend them as such? Since ‘thanks’ is not spelled ‘THX’ I thought it would be understood. And then, TO LAY IT ON THICK AND PLENTY, I thought I would respond with exactly the opposite error, in the hopes that the wink might be realized. Oh well. The multi-tasking was in reference to questioning someone’s assumptions (which apparently is nearly verboten) and simultaneously including in-jokes and recurring themes like everyone else does here.

One final word: You said you know how to nest your comments and would do so if you chose to. That sounds like not taking advice to me. You see, it makes responses to other comments simpler and easier to understand.

However, I stand corrected, as it seems you have taken advice and are now nesting your comments.

It’s very frustrating that I do not have that link on this particular page.

Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey.

Here’s the point. When you reference a comment that was made four days before you posted, it helps if you nest your bon mot in the thread that holds said comment.

Otherwise your scintillating humor is robbed of its full impact.

Unless, of course, this is all part of an elaborate plan to market your “Jump to Conclusions” mat.
