girlsdontcry's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tough love Things that would be banned if I was boss: Comedy replies to people answering the telephone. For example if I say "Girlsdontcry speaking" and they say "Hello Girlsdontcry speaking", the punishment would be summary execution. Shop assistants handing you your change by putting the coins ON TOP of the notes, instead of handing you the coins first so you can deal with them separately and then the notes. Punishment would also be summary execution. People saying "more better", "more faster" or "more anything-er". Punishment would be a ban from ever speaking again (tongue removal for repeat offenders). Leaving plastic cups on top of the "Do not leave cups here" sign on the watercooler. Punishment would be public flogging in the foyer of our office. Will be enforced by fingerprint testing of any abandoned cups. Speaking of being the boss, a message for Gentry and Rue Madame: you appear to have confused me with Miss Magoo. For it is she whose boss is shortly to be married. My boss is the editor who can't speak English, thinks that women wear "Velcro" tracksuits, that there is a writer called Earnest Hemmingway, and that "lucky pants" are a kind of trousers. And yes, he is single. 12:57 p.m. - 2005-05-13 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
