Just Smokin’ & Jokin’

A little email dialogue below between me and the Director. Fortunately, he likes me well enough so I can get away with shit sometimes.

OTM employees who are not scheduled to meet with outside parties on Friday October 29, 2004 will be allowed to wear blue jeans and tennis shoes. For those of you that are a bit more adventurous, you may wear a Halloween costume. Please do your best to make sure your costume is in “good taste” (Don’t force me to be the bad guy… if it would offend your Mom or Grandma, maybe you want to reconsider your choice).

Enjoy Your Day!!

I’m good to go then. My Mom and Grandmother were both hookers.

Line up the lawyer ahead of time and post pictures of the costume!

Better yet, just go as a lawyer – what could be scarier? Well, OK, maybe the letterhead. I’m sure you and KINKo’s can come up with a great costume. 😉 Can’t wait to hear alllll about it.

October 22, 2004

Great fun!!

🙂 Funny…

October 22, 2004

Whatever you decide on – we want pictures!! 😉

Since your Mom and Grandma were both hookers, maybe you could go as a wannabe hooker? I’ll be happy to let you borrow my fishnet stockings. Love,

October 22, 2004

Ah…classic Phaedrus.

I see you have a reputation there as well … good to know, but not at all surprising! BTW, Julie loved her consolation prize! =o)

DO you wanna move here and work with me? You’d make things ever so more interesting. 🙂

rymotorcyclen: The motorcycle is the star of the show! It is what took these impressionable young men on their quest. How could I forget to mention the motocycle? rybushn: I knew somehow I would not be able to get away with the leaping short bushes comment with you!

Right. Salt cellars for specialty drinks. Absolutely. And for BIG specialty drinks, they made Master Salt Cellars. 🙂 (Check out Sugar Magnolia’s latest entry for pic.) Love,

Your boss seems to know you well — and knows better than to underestimate you.

He’s got you pegged man, how can you really flip him out? Go as an angel or something and he’ll crack…. ryn:I love you…tow it…what a great idea.
