    So I guess throwing on a tie and jacket for our holiday party equals cleaning up real nice, whereas the rest of the week in my khakis and button up sans tie I just look like gutter trash?

    Sigh. It's too early for me to deal with people.
    you response should have been "wish I could say the same about you"

    I wish I could've. But such a comment would be against our 'corporate values.' :roll: :fp:

    Freakin' values. For our reviews, values like "respect," "teamwork" and "integrity" are weighted more than things like whether or not I did my job well. Yeah, that makes perfect sense. :lolno:

    Oh dear. Just got a text from an ex with a link to http://youtu.be/ZXILp6cVXAY saying this song makes him think of me. So I check the lyrics:

    I've been gone for so long now
    Chasing everything that’s new
    I've forgotten how I got here
    I have not forgotten you
    We were just children but our eyes opened and
    You were all that i could see
    You came close enough to know my heart beat but
    Still not close enough for me

    Through the good times and the bad
    You were the best I never had
    The only chance I wish I had to take
    But there was no writing on the wall
    No warning signs to follow
    I know now and I just can't forget
    You’re the best I never had

    In this motel
    Well passed midnight
    When I’m bluer than a bruise
    You come drifting in through the half light
    In your funny yellow shoes
    And I hope that’s you standing at my doorway
    That’s the scratching of your key
    And I hope this song I’m singing
    Someday finds you
    My letter to Elise

    Through the good times and the bad
    You were the best I never had
    The only chance I wish I had to take
    But there was no writing on the wall
    No warning signs to follow
    I know now and I just cant forget
    You’re the best I never had

    DEAR LORD WHY DO THEY ALWAYS PULL THIS BS??????

    Thanks! Another 30 min in the office, then an excruciating office holiday lunch, then tomorrow in the office as pretty much a blow-off day ... so close to my break! COME ON ALREADY! :)
