hello... while i (semi) enjoyed that little language thread we had going, it seems it was not quite so popular with the rest of the crowd (i received the lion's share of the death threats on that one, while Youn only got a brick to the side of the head. lucky bastard). but it was intersting to see how many people actually know this stuff. back home most of my kith and kin don't even understand how to correctly dangle a participle, and that's just a sin against god in my book. heh. anyway, I just wanted to say that I enjoy everyone's posts here, but that i won't be able to post for quite some time after this. My boss saw me on email the other day, and I was *severely* chastised for spending too much time on the e-missives. however, this is coming from the same woman who spends approximately 10 minutes on work per 50 minutes of chatting. No one talks to me here, since I'm a temp, and so the only human interaction i would ever have- if not for email- would be when i say "hi" to the guard in the lobby. no doubt i would turn into some sort of half crazed "cubicle man", developing my own language and secret customs after months of isolation. slowly discovering the atavistic pursuit that is data entry. well. hopefully I shall return to the fold soon. until then my sweet lemurs, kevin +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
