1 Maybe you should have one of these on your desk.

2 You really work with me don't you?

Either that or we are one person living in two dimensions.

3 I hope you're feeling better. Aniway this is the situation in Italy:

ABOUT ITALY
Still now I can't read in conservatives italian newspapers, the true question about the post communist holding system, called Cooperative LEGACOOP.
Nevertheless it was a very big trouble, last summer, when the postcommunist party insurance company UNIPOL tried to buy one of the most important italian bank, the BNL, against the spanish Bank of Bilbao.
The governor of Bankitalia (Bank of Italy), Antonio Fazio was part of the war, trying to help the Unipol, that is linked to the first postcommunist bank Monte dei Paschi di Siena (the oldest bank of the world born in 1472). UNIPOL got 20 billion euros last year, but BNL is bigger a lot. Strange case.
Now the jump to Unipol is broken, the management of Unipol is impeached for many crimes (the top manager Mr. Consorte had 50 millions euros in a Swiss bank). The DS, the post communist party, is accused to have the biggest conflict of interest, bigger than the Berlusconi conflict.
In fact, if the mr. Berlusconi tv broadcast Mediaset (3 channels) has 5600 workers, the red cooperatives have 500.000 workers!
Moreover the DS is allied to the mr. Prodi (the ex UE President) party, the Margherita Party, linked with an other holding of cooperatives, named CONFCOOPERATIVE. Both all the leftist cooperatives have ONE MILLION WORKERS, billing every year 100 BILLION EUROS OF SALES.
But is not this the true question of the postcommunist power. The fact is that almost all municipalities and provinces and italian regions (the some of the single states for USA) are in hands of DS and MArgherita parties. So they can give jobs and work public orders to the cooperatives holding. So thousands of mayors, councillors, and members of regional councils, may lawfully give money to their parties, their parents and friends working in the cooperatives, that do every thing: facilities, roads, buildings, social welfare, supermarkets, upkeeps...
Italy may be conquered by this system, that improve the old leninist State capitalism. What gloomy prospects!

4 wow, someone is a little off topic, and by a little I mean wrong hemisphere.

5 Nice to see you get those weird off topic comments as well. Mine are usually for some dog product.

6 Dude, I think I interned in your office...

7 I just got out of the same meeting. I think I'm going to take a long lunch.

8 What? You didn't want to know about Italy? You Jingoist you!

9 I think someone here missed the pre-meeting. Perhaps for tomorrow we'll be sure to have a discussion group to prepare notes for the pre-meeting, where we will work out the agenda for the actual meeting.

10 walk out. Tell them you have a headache. By now you probably do.

Go home. Drink. Sleep.

11 Or you could have an after hours meeting to discuss the agenda for the meeting before meeting in the morning to finalize the agenda.

Oh, never mind.... Here's a shot....

12 Contagion, we need to have a meeting about this...

13 I don't do meetings. At all. Period. And they know this at the place of my work. It's become kind of a joke. But I don't do them. And they can't make me. That's the beauty of being part time. They piss me off and make me feel cornered, i.e. make me attend meetings... I walk.
