Without going into great detail, my co-workers are muddle-brained knuckleheads that make the Keystone Kops look like a Mensa meeting. Federal sanctions are not that far-fetched. Changes will be made soon.
My new boss looked at me and my sunburn and asked if I had gone to the beach. I explained that I got it at Hershey Park and she acted surprised. "You got burned at an amusement park?" Lady, I get burned just getting my morning paper.
Where's my coffee and Advil? Ahhh, skip the coffee and make that Vicodin.
