Groiny that really stings. Made my eyes water something terrible. - Loyola Oct 2, 13:20 5
- you probably do not have a head cold, but a sinus infection. - groiny Oct 2, 13:22 1
  - Oh. no it wasn't a spray. Like a jet of water full force. One of those bottles for sports drinks you see soccer players drinking out of. -- nm - Loyola Oct 2, 13:26
- the neti? then you're doing it wrong. -- nm - loosilu Oct 2, 13:22 2
  - no, if you have an infection, it stings like a bitch. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 2, 13:22 1
    - ah. -- nm - loosilu Oct 2, 13:23

      - thanks scarecrow. i'll always remember you most - shamu Oct 2, 13:11
    - dude, change your attitude on the last sentence of your IM asap -- nm - crash davis Oct 2, 13:08 5
      - Seriously. I mean, really. I'd rather be having a drink with pixie than with dan asshat any day. -- nm - amanda Oct 2, 13:11 4
        
        if i had any blood running through my cold black heart - shamu Oct 2, 13:12 3

Etiquette question. I have to leave work at 5 for a doc appt. My boss has not yet had that talk with me about whether I still have a job. Do I go talk - loosilu Oct 2, 13:01 22
- its 5 on a Friday, and you have a dr's appt. If the dude doesn't understand that, then I agree with your IM and I've never met him -- nm - crash davis Oct 2, 13:04 1
  - oh, this is just the tip of the iceberg. you have no idea. -- nm - loosilu Oct 2, 13:06
- What kind of person leaves that sort of discussion until after 4 on Friday? - Roger More Oct 2, 13:03 8
  - White House press secretary. -- nm - Max Oct 2, 13:04
  - heck, I had to chase after him to get me to tell me when I'd get a decision. -- nm - loosilu Oct 2, 13:04 6
    - Personally, I think you should just leave for your appt and turn up like normal on Monday -- nm - Roger More Oct 2, 13:06 5
      - the appt isn't at 5, it's at 5:30. I leave at 5. It's his respnosibility to talk to me before COB, isn't it? -- nm - loosilu Oct 2, 13:06 4
        
        If you're salaried, I would say it's your job to stay and seek him out. -- nm - amanda Oct 2, 13:15
        
        I know - I'm actually assuming that he doesn't come talk to you before 5 -- nm - Roger More Oct 2, 13:08 2
        
        he may. He hasn't made any attempt to set a meeting time or see if I'm alive. -- nm - loosilu Oct 2, 13:10 1
        
        Well, you're really running out of time. Either go see him now, or set up an appointment in his calendar for first thing on Monday. -- nm - Roger More Oct 2, 13:21
- Of course. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 13:02 10
  - It feels wrong to have to beg him to fire me. -- nm - loosilu Oct 2, 13:03 9
    - Pfft. Just tell him you have to leave at 5pm for your appt. Ball in his court. Bingo bango. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 13:12 7
      - ball's already in his court. -- nm - loosilu Oct 2, 13:14 6
        
        Not if you haven't informed him of the rigidity of your schedule. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 2, 13:16 5
        
        plus 5 is COB here. most of the office is already empty. -- nm - loosilu Oct 2, 13:17
        
        he hasn't called, spoken to me, emailed, or made any attempt to set up a meeting. -- nm - loosilu Oct 2, 13:17 3
        
        *sigh* he may just be postponing what he considers unpleasantness until the end of his workday - 'lia Oct 2, 13:21 2
        
        well fuck him. he has no problem being unpleasant the rest of the time. -- nm - loosilu Oct 2, 13:24 1
        
        i totally agree with you - 'lia Oct 2, 13:29
    - no, you are just looking for where you stand -- nm - zork Oct 2, 13:03

    - it helps in both regards, I believe. - groiny Oct 2, 12:58 1
      - I have a small bottle with a squeezy top. Might as well give it a go. Can't make me any worse. -- nm - Loyola Oct 2, 13:00
