hi,

i'm needing to have the large library table broken down and hauled away (if possible) to other parts of the building for the october 25th board luncheon. i'm thinking that it would be best to do this on the 24th around 3:00 as i think it will take a bit of time and i understand that the caterers may bring in the round tables and chairs either late on the 24th or early on the 25th.

is it possible that you two (with the help of any and all students who happen to be here that day) would take care of this for me? that table is a bear - especially now that it's bolted together in numerous ways. i don't know exactly where we can "hide" it. we'll need jgr's office for a meeting on the morning of the 25th so we can't push anything in there. perhaps acquisitons would allow us to use their center space for some of it.

please let me know your thoughts. best, janyce


Y'all should see this fucking table. It's thirty feet long if it's an inch, I swear to god. And it's probably a hundred years old--I'll bet anything that it's solid oak. And bolted together--did you get that part? And she wants to know my thoughts. My thoughts are that I'm being discriminated against. Why doesn't she ask some o' these burly-ass females to chip in?

That's what I get for bitching about people who write in all lowercase.

Maybe I can get the union to get me out of this. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Man, that's rich -- the union . . . *dries eyes*

Haha, yeah. "Stand up to 'em! Make 'em bowl you over with that table and have you carted off for public disturbance! And then piss on their rug!"

HAHAHA! Sucker! Don't you have maintenance people who are supposed to do that crap?

Tell her that your keeper doesn't want you to risk injury with such physical labour. You've already committed yourself to one slave position...so it would be a conflict of interests. I'll write you a note.

Damn, why didn't I hold out? I shoulda known you would come through for me. This is how I replied

As fun as this sounds, I have this old croquet injury, you see, and my chiropractor has forbidden me to engage in any . . .

Oh, OK. I'm in if Keith is. :)

And yeah, I would think that there are any number of overgrown flunkies on the university's payroll. Besides me, I mean. I think she just wants to abuse me.

It's ok...I got a note

I think goatsupreme is right. Also if you do get hurt, they'd have to pay workers' comp. You'd think this Janyce person would realize that.

Hey, just out of curiosity....if you're on the university's payroll, does that mean you get that sweet deal where significant others and immediate family get free tuition?? If so, wanna get married??

Whoa, you mean we might be able to speed up the process? Cool, let me check on it. If it turns out that I don't get it, I'm going on strike for sure. I gotta get mines for me and my woman.

They have deals like that at schools here - like if I married some dopey security guard, I could go to school for f-r-e-e!!

We can use my government grants to pay for our Las Vegas wedding!
