A new—and fairly reasonable, I’d say—policy was implemented at work this morning. Apparently people didn’t take kindly to it, though…. One of the resulting emails sent to the entire office read as follows:
OMG ISN’T THIS GETTING FREAKIN REDICULOUS (sic)
My reaction was to respond to everyone with a simple LOL or ROTFL. Marin, however, had a much more ingenious idea—every day, for a week, we should send a message along the lines of the following to the entire office:
OMG ISN’T THIS GETTING FREAKIN ASSININE
OMG ISN’T THIS GETTING FREAKIN ABSERD
OMG ISN’T THIS GETTING FREAKIN LEWDICROUS
…
And then I had the brilliant idea of relating the people in my office to characters in The Lord of the Flies. It’d work, I’m sure, although I don’t want to know who would end up being Piggy.
Remember back in high school when they asked us if Simon wasn’t maybe a Jesus figure? What a load of crap.
Same for Jim Casy in The Grapes of Wrath.
Actually, I was barely lucky enough to remember Piggy… (^_^);; And about all I recall of The Grapes of Wrath is the most basic thread of the plot. So, er… nope, don’t remember the Simon question.
My memory rules!
