Save Yourselves-Stay Away From My Office
« on: August 12, 2014, 01:37:31 PM »
So, Saturday a week ago I drove to Oklahoma to attend the funeral of a close co-worker's father.

Sunday, the father of another close co-worker passed.

Just informed that a co-worker who has been in hospital passed. I have to contact her family to ask about arrangements and collect/inventory personal effects.

Father of another close colleague is in ICU and likely won't make it out.

I care about you all, so stay the hell away.

The bloody Angel of Death is on a staycation in my shop. Dammit.

Sorry to hear this.  Prayer sent to all the families affected recently as well to you.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Nevermind us - maybe you should telecommute for a while!

Nice thought. But, like a plague doctor, I'm stuck taking care of my people. Or at least trying.

Weird thing. The co-worker had only been here a little over six months, but she was liked and integrating well into the team. The only sign of her presence is a certificate from an event back in April. It's like she wasn't ever here.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

That's some righteous APS thinking. Thanks for a much-needed chuckle.
