    Hey, you should have seen the floral arrangement we sent to the funeral home. The absolute cream of the clearance aisle at Wal-Mart. ;)

    It's at times like these you have to show how much you really care. Why, I almost missed a junior-varsity hockey game to visit the wake. ;D

    I resent that, sir!! We carry insurance policies on MANY of our employees. It only goes to show how our workers' value to our company can actually transcend mere mortality. 8)

    YOU'RE HIRED!!! (See above.) ;)

  5. Reasons To Not Work For JRC

    Reason No. 5: A long-time JRC reporter was owed between $1,800-$2,400 in long overdue travel expenses. The travel expense reimbursement forms were turned in numerous times after the reporter was given excuses that the previous forms were "lost" or that there was no record that they were ever turned in. The reporter finally told company management that he could not afford to put further travel expenses on his credit cards or put out cash up front so he could not travel again until either he received his months overdue expense check or unless the company provided expense funds in advance of the trips(s). The reporter was told that since his job called for travel he would either make the assigned trips or lose his job. The reporter offered to cover events that did not require travel and even assist the copy editing staff until his travel expense situation was straightened out. His offer was rejected and when he refused to make the next trip because he could not afford to travel without his owed expense check he was terminated. Translation: Bob lost the reporter's expense check in a sports wager when Ron "Horshack" Palillo lost to Dustin "Screech" Diamond in Celebrity Boxing.

    Any dope could've told him that the Las Vegas wise guys were backing "Screech" heavily! What a maroon!

    I still contend the fight was fixed.

    Has anybody figured out which board regular is impersonating Jelloneck? It's making this thread a riot.

    I would like all of you to join me in wishing my special daddy a very, very happy Valentine's Day. Happy Valentine's Day Daddy! And now, a beautiful poem for my lovely daddy.

    Will you be my Valentine, Daddy?
    I know that I am yours.
    You are like a tossing sea
    And I am like your shores.
    You are like an endless wave, Daddy
    And I your waiting sand.
    And I will wait forever as
    You come and smooth my hand.

    I will wait forever, yet,
    you are a part of me.
    I hold you in my arms, Daddy,
    while you come to me endlessly.

    Will you be my Valentine, Daddy?
    I know that I am yours.
    I love you with a love that yearns
    To be your golden shores.

    The vicious lie about my special daddy refusing to pay a dear, dear employee because of family friend Horshack's unexpected boxing loss hurts the feelings of my daddy. Daddy is emotional and tears are brought to his beautiful eyes when lies are spread about him. The love and care he feels for his employees is so vast that it bursts through his Canadian skin.

    Daddy explained to me the reason why the reimbursement check for this dear, dear employee was not delivered in a prompt manner and it did not have anything to do with Horshack. The money for the reimbursement check was in the company account, but my special daddy wanted to show his love for the dear, dear employee in a wonderful way. So my daddy ordered very, very special gold leaf checks with pastel drawings of hearts on them. Sadly the checks were back-ordered so Daddy needed to wait a few days to pay to cherished employee. It was not my daddy's fault that the beautiful gold checks were on back-order and once these exquisite checks arrived I'm sure the employee was paid. I hope you all now understand and accept the truth.
