Ah, you've obviously driven in Boston.

Speaking of which, some incorrect driving advice:

- Stop signs with white borders are "optional stop signs". If you don't feel like stopping, just plow on through.
- The Boston Left Turn is completely legal. (For the uninitiated, a Boston Left Turn is what you do when you are stopped at a red light and you want to turn left. When the light turns green (no left arrow, just a green ball) you punch it and make the left before the drivers stopped opposite you have a chance to realize the light is green and accelerate.)
- Stopping at the scene of an accident you caused is optional. They'll never catch you. (I once got the tag # of a bitch who rear-ended me and took off down the interstate. According to the police report, she didn't stop because she didn't think I'd stopped. At the speed she was going, she was in the next state by the time I pulled over safely. She got (as the cop put it) "a whole raft of tickets".)
- Using a hand-held cell phone while driving in crappy weather conditions is a GREAT idea.

This is EXACTLY what I was thinking.

"When driving in Boston, if there's a yellow light, it means 3 more cars can make it through. If it's a red light, 2 more."

My sister's friends took their license tests (as teenagers) and BOTH of them actually put yellow light means "speed up." OMG Did you learn ANYTHING in driver's ed???

Never tell your brand new co-worker when they've done something incorrectly. No, it's so much better to just re-do their work without telling them, then go straight to the supervisor and whine and complain about how you're stressed and overwhelmed from doing all of your work, plus their work, too. It'd be much too easy to just explain to the newbie the correct way so that they can fix it themselves--I mean, how else would you be the long-suffering perfectionist otherwise?

Wear pink sequined fishnet pantyhose to recruitment.

I highly recommend giving your dog snacks that are high-fat foods like chocolate, turkey skin, bacon, sausages, hot dogs and fried food. If a dog eats foods that are high in fat, that whole myth about it causing pancreatitis is false. Oh, and cholocate is the best for them. It makes their coat shine.

Is the LOLCat of choice for your PPoint presentation in which you cut your employees salaries 5%, as well as take away their vacation, holiday pay, OT and paid breaks.


This post would be funnier if it didn't just happen to me.

That outfit you wore to the club last night, the one with the spandex leggings, mini, and tube top?

That is the perfect outfit for recruitment at LSU.

Bonus points if your heels are the 4 inch plastic kind.

Sadly, no. A LOLCAT from my bosses might have made the news almost worth it. On another work related note:

The bosses absolutely love it when Project Managers spend 1/2 their day at the strip club, and the other half at the tavern. Bonus points for not making it to your worksite until after you've already spent an hour at Bojangles for a 9 am breakfast.

Baking powder and baking soda are TOTALLY the same thing.

I've done that before on accident...

Liquid dishwashing detergent works just fine in dishwashers.

ETA: Sorry to hear 'bout your day at work, AF. That sucks.

OMG my step-mom (i.e. a fully-grown woman) did that once about 8 years ago. RIDICULOUS! I just remember an endless stream of bubbles coming from the kitchen but not in a cute happy way. More like a bubble monster!

If your gas line in 45 degrees lower than the "E", you can drive another 30 miles. Matter of fact, drive down the highway at 65 miles per hour in the middle lane.

If you get a bid to your 2nd choice and don't want it, wait til Bid Night.

Then when they call your name, just run off the stage to the sorority you DO want.

If you don't have a shirt, just snatch one from one of the new members down there.

Your new sorority will be soooo happy to have you.

And don't worry, it's totally ok. I read it in the Green Book.

It's totally ok to leave the bathroom without washing your hands.
