12. We're gonna need to go ahead and move you downstairs into storage B
We have some new people coming in, and we need all the space we can get. So if you could go ahead and pack up your stuff and move it down there, that would be terrific, OK?

19. so - the eternal question has not been answered....

20. That wasn't a stranger! That was my best friend since high school!
Edited on Tue Apr-19-05 09:57 AM by whoisalhedges
:eyes:

edit: asthmaticeog was the gentlest, most tender kisser. Somewhat like kissing a woman. Who is asleep.

Beware the Beast Man was in there with some pressure. I wasn't the same after I kissed him. I was changed.

Kissing Tom was like kissing my brother. In other words, totally hot.

But still, hedges - three men in one night? are you sure you aren't a slut?

23. Whew! JJ, you had me worried there for a second!
I thought all of your endearments to me were just camouflage. I'm glad the only things you brought out with you were paper clips. :-)B-)

32. i heard they're down on their goals and quotas-
In an effort to bring up enrollment and to encorage a change of choice, the paper work is being streamlined and the toasters are being given out early. Of course, this results in people signing up JUST TO GET THE TOASTER, but it's a small price to pay to get those numbers up. It's thought no one will really notice the slight decline in toaster quality due to this small shift in policy.

Of course, they'll still send people over to hang out with you and take you special places on the weekend to cultivate and encourage your enlistment. Don't be surprised if you get dropped like a hot tater after you sign the final batch of papers, though.

35. Are NSMA and misunderestimator responsible for this in any way?
Two hot women such as themselves being off the market, I can see why some heavy handed recruitment tactics would be in order. ;)

36. That's PRECISELY what did it
there are mixed feelings about that-everyone wanting to see them happy and all, but on the other hand, not having those 2 hotties out there to reel 'em in...I think it's in Yahoo! News today...

of the closet.

42. actually...
...I think it's more that there are no closets because everyone is out. It's actually a very progressive place...though as we get bigger, it gets a little less so.

see? you can turn the volume on your toast up to 10!
