They use babelfish or some other free translation program.  Its hilarious how bad they are always written.  You should use the White HOuse address in a response back

Did that a few weeks ago when I was playing around with my spammer.  Dook emailed me back and told me to take this more seriously and provide him with my real info.  So I emailed him back in ebonics and haven't heard anything from him since.

Their saying that this is going to be a bad hurricane season.

So Anheuser-Busch usually cans water for emergancies and has been getting ready for a bad year. So far 12,850 cans have been staged for water fill. Because beer is mostly water it's wasy to turn out canned water en mass.

Hope no one gets hit too hard this year.

I haven't watched it recently, but the best ever was Richard (winner of the first series).  He gamed everyone on the show before people knew how to play the game.  Smart & ruthless.

Negatives: he's gay, and he is an exhibitionist.

farger still won a million bucks.

So I have to go to the new district office in order to add my newborn daughter to my insurance (the financial anal reaming I'm getting from that is an entirely different subject).

When I get there, I have to talk to the "receptionist" in the main foyer.  She has to call the department, who has to come and get me.  To get into the main corridor, you have to possess a card to sweep into the lock reader.  Every department has these readers, even within the main corridors, and the person I was with told me that each department has different codes - in other words, she couldn't get into any other office of the building except her own.  There were video camera everywhere, and security patrols (with the ear thing we used to only see in films) were seemingly omnipresent.

Now, those of you in the corporate world are probably used to this kind of stuff.  But here is where I am bemused:

I work in a school.  The district office has all of this high-tech security.  The school I work in has NOTHING of this sort of thing.  We do have a single "student resource officer," and ours has a prominent limp and couldn't chase an intruder at all.  We've been trying to get video cameras for the cafeteria for at least five years, and are finally supposedly getting a few this summer (only because someone broke into the cafeteria and set fires -- fortunately only minmal damage).  We do have a fence around the school now - it only took about 8 years after the school was built to get it up.  And, of course, the front gate is always open during the school day.

And Romey has probably seen some of the "open" floor plans of Florida schools.  EVERY classroom door opens to the outside.   There are no indoor hallways, so someone that comes in would be able to get to every classroom on campus.  They are supposed to go to the front office first, but I've had to stop several people who had wandered onto campus without checking in first.  So we have a gimpy officer, and the school personnel are supposed to provide the rest of the "security," with the students on campus.  And the bean counters in the district office have multiple times the security of the schools.

Just strikes me odd...

Like gubment workers don't do enough of that already that you need to keep inventing new ways to not work. 

[Diomedes]

calling most of them "workers" is like calling most women "people"

you're required to say it, but we all know it ain't true
