Are you are a Sneetch without a star on your belly?

i just work here...

You been smokin bus tickets again?

Just look at my sad face...

I may need to change my avator...

And now in our Texas location (I get emails because I've been managing the group) - they are invitied to a pizza party and an ice cream party! The unfairness of it all. And I get free water - and not bottled either from the tap.

I hope my replies were dumped.

I never never never got into Dr Seuss
Both my kids agreed and thought he was quite a douche
So, we read together from books by Stephen King
And I payed for hours of analyses that his stories always bring .

I have a machine that can put a star on your belly for just $3 each!

if it'll make you feel better --
we used to have these awesome "beers for peers" keg parties a couple times a year, but they apparently cut them out of the budget...

I am so below a sneetch. Would that I had a belly on which to place a star -

I'm more of a woozle...

I loved the Sneetches! That was my favorite Dr. Seuss to read - along with Green Eggs and Ham. I never had it read to me, but I read that book to so many kids I babysat for that when I was eighteen and off to college, I bought it for myself so I could still read it.
I just loved the rhythmn of the language.

My favorite story in there is 'Too many Daves'- Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate is so fun to say.

We don't really have differentiated Sneetches where I work. We're pretty much all the same. We even treat the inmates just like us - I'm allowed to give them sugar for their tea from our staff sugar jar if they ask me.

Our toilet is only slightly nicer than theirs (we have a window in ours - they don't). But come to think of it, I don't think the male staff toilet has a window wither (I've never been in it - but it doesn't have an outside wall - so I bet it doesn't).
I don't think I'd like to work where there was such differentiation and heirarchy - almost like a caste system.
I have to say, I never have though. Probably because I've always worked for the public sector - public schools, prisons, etc.
That's probably why.

Someone, recently promoted, told me they now had a window in their lav.
"Wow" says I, "What can you see?"
"Nothing", says she" and it's a nuisance really because if someone was standing on the roof next door, they could see right in."

Joe (still it WAS nice to have.)Nation

Just bought his book that is over 1,000 pages - have you read it.

In some ways Dr. Seuss is scarier....ever read the pants with nobody inside of them.

I just drew one with a permanent marker. Ha Ha fooled them all!

It isn't really hierachy - as we have people "downstairs" at high executive levels. It is the divisions upstairs - those are the better divisions - the ones that get perks. We get hot chocolate.

I can't even see the outside from where I sit. Even if I stand up I can't see the outside.

What makes this story even more funny is - recently in a huge cube ville area that I walk by "downstairs" which is currently empty - they took away a bunch of the center cubes. These center cubes actually have a high ceiling with windows toward the top. Most likely so the "bellied sneetchers" can look down at us. I thought wow - a group is finally going to move in. Not so much - they temporarily moved the cubes so they could paint the upper area a nice bright color so those upstairs did not have to view the drab colors we have - no joke.

could be worse, you could be one of 23 Daves

Did I ever tell you that Mrs. McCave
Had twenty-three sons, and she named them all Dave?

Well, she did. And that wasn’t a smart thing to do.
You see, when she wants one, and calls out “Yoo-Hoo!
Come into the house, Dave!” she doesn’t get one.
All twenty-three Daves of hers come on the run!
This makes things quite difficult at the McCaves’
As you can imagine, with so many Daves.

And often she wishes that, when they were born,
She had named one of them Bodkin Van Horn.
And one of them Hoos-Foos. And one of them Snimm.
And one of them Hot-Shot. And one Sunny Jim.
Another one Putt-Putt. Another one Moon Face.
Another one Marvin O’Gravel Balloon Face.
And one of them Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate…

But she didn’t do it. And now it’s too late.
