		<description>Yup, Aimee is a French name. It means &quot;beloved&quot;.

aaa, the French don&#039;t need your encouragements, nor anyone else&#039;s. They tend to consider that whenevereveryone else disagrees (or, in some cases, pour xenophobic shit on their collective head since t hey&#039;re the only ethnic group left that you can bash without consequences), they must be doing something right. And in some cases, it verifies.</description>

		<description>&#039;glo, I am sure that you meant to ask CC to &lt;b&gt;refrain&lt;/b&gt; from playing on  that old time rock and rollmop  music, the kind that soothes the sole, but then, I also know that when you choose your words they usually mean just what you  choose them to mean -- neither more nor less. 

He honoured your wishes, anyway, I coda not done better, apart from being able to tell the two of us apart. He is forgiven for that transgression because a man who can make a pun function triumvirately gets the thumb from me (look, I know, I know your opinion on nouns operating as adjectives/adverbs, incorrectly so, too,  and such...it&#039;s so much fun, though).</description>

		<description>&quot;They always eschew direct confrontation in favor of addressing grievances with an entire group and even impose penalties, such as a more rigid dress code or the termination of flex time, upon everybody rather than take the individual who abuses those things to task.&quot;

This actually JUST happened to my office a few weeks ago. Our flex time was terminated because of one particular time-card-fraud-executing asshole who doesn&#039;t work there anymore. So if Sphincter McSlackerson was fired, why the heck was the whole office punished? I still don&#039;t get it. 

&quot;Nope. The secret to corporate success is to burrow yourself deep into the soft underbelly of middle management. Collect the trifling stock options they offer, grow your 401K, and kiss just enough ass to ensure that you’ll make every downsizing cut.&quot;

Heartwarming. Nothing like bureaucracy to verify your faith in the inherent goodness of the human race. 

&quot;Suspend your ideals, leave your back bone at home and don’t even dream about the days when you had balls. Talk in circles, stay on top of the latest buzzwords and regularly browse the business section at Borders for the latest books on motivation and selling power. Buy them. Read them. Make sure everybody sees you with them. And for god’s sake, don’t ever come up with an idea. Ideas get people noticed and people who get noticed are given responsibilities.&quot;

I&#039;m not even supposed to be here today...</description>

		<description>Also, 4.14, thumbs up for TOS for the Jeanette Winterson reference.

Oh, and the Nina Simone (4.17)  ;)  .

And the Mandrills.

Though I have a feeling that nothing compares to Greg the Bunny.</description>

		<description>Glo,

I think the homophone confusion was keeping within the spirit of the original note. Correctly using an adverb was not. ;)

CC, &lt;i&gt;not that there&#039;s anything wrong with that&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>Ah yes. One person was making too many personal phone calls. 
Solution? Pass a new policy requiring every employee to audit all his/her phone calls each month and submit a check for personal calls for the amount exceeding $5.</description>
