      - Sack her??! Hell, he should just tell her he needs to meet with her after work about some changes he'd like done. Then when she walks into the office, - Trish, (-15 F below zero) Dec 10, 03:15
      - and it's absolutely 100% solid that she actually took the money? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 20:38 25
        
        It's 100% the money is gone. She is the only one who has access to the money and the books to get away with it. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 9, 20:39 24
        
        To give some context: his office has about 7 people, only one of whom works the front desk. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 9, 20:45 23
        
        I guess I'm just wondering what chance there is that it might be electronic or identify-theft related -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 20:46 22
        
        You have no reason to know why that is so funny, but it is. His office has a computer, but it may as well be an abacus. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 9, 20:50 16
        
        Hey, the 486sx is almost as good as the 486. -- nm - David Dec 9, 20:51 3
        
        Speaking from experience ... no. :( -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 20:52 2
        
        agreed. I also remember trying to buy a math co-processor for a 386 (unless it was a 286) -- nm - zork Dec 9, 21:37 1
        
        now it's all about GPUs (which are a similar concept to an FPU) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 21:40
        
        How often is he paid in livestock? -- nm - Reagen Dec 9, 20:51 6
        
        The funny thing is that he's super, super organized. He's just trusting and computer-phobic. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 9, 21:08 1
        
        This was less a joke about your dad and more about hicksville. -- nm - Reagen Dec 9, 21:11
        
        I am getting a distinct Northern Exposure vibe now. -- nm - David Dec 9, 20:51 3
        
        Now there's a show that needs a reboot. - Beryllium Dec 9, 20:52 2
        
        Southern Exposure opening credits is a kangaroo that hops through town -- nm - Bacon via Google Nexus 10 Dec 9, 20:57 1
        
        There have been a few stray kangaroos in this area over the years. - the liioulu without crickets Dec 9, 21:02
        
        Heh. Can't say I'm surprised. Lots of businesses don't have a pressing need for it. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 20:51 4
        
        (Although, I suppose it could be pointed out that ... they can help track abuses like this one) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 20:51 3
        
        For some reason dentist offices still love to use fax machines. -- nm - Dano Dec 9, 20:56 2
        
        x-rays fax well, maybe? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 20:58 1
        
        Email is more work because you have to print it out to put on the file. -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 21:03
        
        It was all cash transactions. Patients paid in cash, she took it and didn't enter it in the books. -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 20:49 1
        
        (My legal representation requires me to say "allegedly") -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 20:50
        
        Right, there is always the chance it's an outside job. -- nm - David Dec 9, 20:47 2
        
        (but the gambling aspect makes me dubious) -- nm - David Dec 9, 20:48 1
        
        Ah, yes, the ol' Owning Mahoney play ... -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 20:50
    - I don't think she knows he knows yet. -- nm - Dano Dec 9, 20:35 2
      - but does he know that she knows that he knows she doesn't know? -- nm - Phoebe Dec 9, 20:37 1
        
        "I'm really looking forward to the intercourse we're going to have." nm - ralph wiggum Dec 9, 20:38
  - Brazen -- nm - the liioulu without crickets Dec 9, 20:34
- This. I mean, unless 137K is pennies compared to weekly profit ... but that's highly unlikely. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 20:32 9
  - No. It's a good chunk of money for him, especially since the local economy has been so bad the last few years. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 9, 20:33 8
    - In a land where every element in nature has evolved to deliver instant or painful death, one would be wise not to get tossed to the dingoes. - Beryllium Dec 9, 20:37 7
      - I got chased by a dingo on my run the other day. I'm not sure if he was curious, or just hoping I'd keel over from heat stroke. -- nm - mafic Dec 9, 21:13
      - Heh. I'm not actually Australia. My dad lives in the Midwest. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 9, 20:37 5
        
        "I sentence you to life.... in Indiana." -- nm - Reagen Dec 9, 20:40 2
        
        What did Spawn do? -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 20:42
        
        Coulda been worse. She could have gotten hard time in Kentucky. n - ralph wiggum Dec 9, 20:41
        
        ... the midwest? Point still stands ... kinda ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 20:38 1
        
        The Midwest does have some very surly possum. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 9, 20:40
Meh. -- nm - Qale Dec 9, 20:27
The downside of Josh McCown scoring 51.1 points? - Spawn Dec 9, 20:24 6
- When is Cutler coming back -- nm - Bacon Dec 9, 20:24 5
  - Hopefully next week. Of course, the guy I play has him, as well. ARodgers, too. - Spawn Dec 9, 20:26 4
    - That's weird. I have the same 3 QB. -- nm - Was Bar Was Dec 9, 20:29 3
      - I had McCown going in all 3 leagues this weekend. - Spawn Dec 9, 20:44
