"A customer is...

like a jewel on a velvet pillow". This was honest-to-God part of an email signature I saw the other day at work. I guess the territory sales managers like to get creative, because one of the ones I communicate with frequently has a quote from Stuart Smalley. Are you really good enough and smart enough? Because doggone-it, not too many people like you.
As for the jewel...that's just lame.

Orgasmically delicious...

My coworker was a former female bodybuilder

And I have no problem with that. I think it really drives the old adage, "don't judge a book by its cover" home.

When I first found out last week, it just blew me away to think that a 5'1" (seriously, she must be) bubbly, early-40's woman with Barbie-perfect hair once had more muscle on her body than Steve Urkell could ever imagine.

I was just staring blankly at my computer, and then all of sudden she parades her competition photos around the aisle. This was one of those moments where it was hard to remain expression-less. Or at least provide an expression of, "Wow! What an interesting hobby/lifestyle! That's amazing you almost won 1st place in that competition in 1992"--but soon followed by--"oh God, is the person standing to her left actually a woman"?

So many questions...so many more reasons to stare blankily at my computer screen once again.

Seriously!

Will whoever keeps missing the seat in the work bathrooms---just stop already?! Geez...if the company wants to be more "sustainable" and "green" then I need to stop using less seat covers to clean up your mess >;(
