Life difficult for my parents?
Millions?
My way downtown walking fast?

Gravy from scratch?

		<description>Haha! Believe it or not, I think I know that coworker!

Was it me?

Oh wait, nevermind, I never worked on a Nike campaign. 

Still, it sounds like something I would totally do. Maybe I did work on a Nike campaign and just don&#039;t remember it?

(That&#039;s also something I would totally do.)</description>

		<description>That reminds me of a story.  When Nike was promoting their &quot;Just Do It&quot; campaign, we had a manager that thought he was being inspirational by overusing the phrase.  At the end of meeting, &quot;Just Do It&quot;, at the end of a conference call, &quot;Just Do It&quot;, popping his head in your office &quot;Just Do It&quot;, when he saw you on the elevator in the morning, &quot;Just Do It&quot;  So one day my coworker did just just that when he told her to get him some coffee.  She smacked him and told him to do it himself.</description>

Thanks for stopping by, Lynn! Happy Thanksgiving:)</description>

		<description>Haha!

That is hilarious, M. And what makes it even funnier is that I can totally relate to this story! 

You see, I used to work at a local Engineering Company as well, and I too, had a crush on a Manager named Shidan. The only difference was that my crush was completely explicable. (Not in the sense that he was attractive, or even personable for that matter, but in the sense that he was there. And I was bored.) Because I needed something (or should I say &quot;someone&quot;) to distract me from my boredom, I went down the list of possible work-crush options with a friend/co-worker. 

Finally, after much deliberation (I&#039;m talking months here),  we both decided on this Shidan fellow. If you took into account our other options at the time, you&#039;d understand that it was the only logical choice. 

It caused a bit of tension between us at first (mainly because we couldn&#039;t believe we&#039;d resorted to this level of boredom), but we soon got over it, and after pinky-swearing never to tell another soul about being enamored with an elderly bald man with a Hitler-style moustache, we actually started to enjoy the non-existant yet friendly competition for his affections. 

But enough about me and my friend. 

Anyway, thank-you for sharing that tremendous story with me, &quot;M&quot;. Not only does it sound like we have a lot in common, you seem like the kind of person I could totally chill with...

		<description>Haha!

Now that story would sell, Frigginloon. But it would probably go into the &quot;Amazing Stories&quot; section.

 I can just see the review now-

&lt;em&gt;&quot;Before I read this story, I didn&#039;t think dogs even had fingers, let alone gave them. Frigginloon proved me wrong. Thanks Frigginloon!&quot;&lt;/em&gt;
                                                                               -Former Non-Believer turned Believer</description>

		<description>What&#039;s Independance Day? Where I&#039;m from, July 1 is &quot;Blind-Ass Drunk Day&quot;. 

I agree that it&#039;s an unconventional name for a holiday, but it works...

Happy Thanksgiving, Invasive1!</description>

		<description>Hey Fantastic Forrest,

The funny thing is that these remind me of the jokes I used to tell when I was younger as well. They also remind me of the jokes my co-workers currently tell (they&#039;re Engineers), but that&#039;s neither here nor there. 

I have to say, that is a brilliant haiku! So brilliant, in fact, that I may have to steal it. 

(It&#039;s what I do.)

Thanks for the great comment, hope to see you again!
