Okay folks, it's time for a new addition to the weekly featurettes of this blog, & that is Where Have You Gone Wednesdays! Each week, we'll highlight something wonderful that was here but went away.
Factual Friday folks!! And guess what today's fact is?
IT'S SLAP YOUR CO-WORKER DAY!!
Here are the rules, followed from an all-important email:
October 23rd is the official Slap Your Irritating Co- work ers Holiday: Do you have a co- work er who talks nonstop about nothing, working your last nerve with tedious and boring details that you don't care about? Do you have a co-worker who ALWAYS screws up stuff creating MORE work for you? Do you have a co-worker who kisses so much booty; you can look in their mouth and see what your boss had for lunch? Do you have a co-worker who is SOOO obnoxious, when he/she enters a room, everyone else clears it? Well, on behalf of Ike Turner, I am so very very glad to officially announce SLAP YOUR IRRITATING CO-WORKER DAY!
Here are the rules you must follow: * You can only slap one person per hour - no more. * You can slap the same person again if they irritate you again in the same day. * You are allowed to hold someone down as other co- work ers take their turns slapping the irritant. * No weapons are allowed...other than going upside somebody's head with a stapler or a hole-puncher. * If questioned by a supervisor [or police, if the supervisor is the irritant], you are allowed to LIE, LIE, LIE!
Now, study the rules, break out your list of folks that you want to slap the living day lights out of and get to slapping on October 23rd..... and have a great slapping day!

Live in southern New England? Looking for something freakin' awesome to do this weekend? Check THIS out:
But before you check out the photo below, please take note, 'cuz this is a day of DOUBLE AWESOMENESS. Look over to your right. Yes, that is in fact a 'Johnny, sweep the leg' guest counter. What. Up.
And now. Seriously? I had this cake made for my husband last year. Besides the Chuck Norris cake I made for another friend (another discussion for another day), it's beyond awesomeness. Of course, the Nintendo cake rules, too.
G-mommie here, & I want to talk to you kids today about a situation I think we may have all hit at some point or another. And I think you folks in an corporate office situation will especially understand...
So my manager calls me over. And he's not necessarily a low talker or anything, but I think this was like, a secretive thing he was trying to tell me, so he was half-whispering. Which, you know, normally wouldn't be an issue because I'd just work harder to pay attention. But some small part in my brain started a snowball on me...I started thinking about Kristen Stewart out of nowhere, & how horrible an actress she is. And then I started thinking about Panic Room, & thought to myself that she wasn't too bad in that, but then again, she was much younger & playing a half-asleep diabetic that was going into shock, & honestly, would that have been so hard? So maybe she's just stuck in that character & can't get her tripped-out ass to play a decent Bella now. Wait a sec....
Back to conversation. Manager says, 'Ok, so that sounds good? I can put your name in for the project.' I felt like Ralphie in A Christmas Story when Santa tries to convince him he wants a football & he just nods & says 'yes' in a quiet, defeated voice. I just nodded & said yes to my manager.
So now...what the hell did I just sign up for? And then you get into that totally awkward moment where you SO don't want to just ask because you'll look like a total moron for having completely missed the last 5 minute conversation. But it is total awesomeness cuz I just pulled off being an idiot without anyone knowing.
