Huh?!
1Huh?!
Are you kidding?! As seen on a company intranet of a psacake reader:
COMPANY NAME is open today. Please exercise caution as you make your way to work. We do encourage people to leave work early enough this afternoon to ensure they arrive home before dark, taking into consideration the extended commuting times expected.
Sunset in Boston today is 4:51 PM. So.. if it took say.. 2 hours to get to work (So you arrived at 10:30 instead of the normal 8:30), and you estimate that it's going to take 2 hours to get home since it's going to snow all day.. then you need to leave work at 2:49 (so you're home before dark). 4 Hour work day... 4 hour commute. Be sure to put that in your recruiting materials. Oh.. and just because people have the ability to work from home.. certainly doesn't mean you should let them.. after all.. if you did.. you might actually get 4.5 hours out of them today.
I love conglomo.com!
Venti?
A hulking Boston bodyguard was arrested yesterday (1/20/2005), accused of hurling a scalding Starbucks coffee at a meter maid who slapped a ticket on his illegally parked Hummer in the Back Bay.

Noviello wrote a $55 ticket, and slid it under the Hummer's windshield wiper - apparently enraging its driver, Francois Youhanna.
"He started yelling, `I don't accept this ticket!' He had a Venti-sized cup of black coffee in his hand, and he flung it right in my face," said Noviello, just hours after she was treated for first- and second-degree burns on her face and upper torso at New England Medical Center.
What the hell is Venti sized?!
Look for a proposed legislation in the near future to regulate the maximum temperature at which coffee can be served in Massachusetts. Surely, Attorney General Tom Reilly can do something to curb this violent epidemic. It's FOR THE CHILDREN!
Besides, no one NEEDS scalding hot coffee
