Recently, I was participated in a conference call at work.  We dialed in and the 'host' of the call had not yet dialed in.  With this company, however, the 'host' was called the 'leader' of the call.  So the automated voice said,

"The Leader has not yet arrived."  and then later,

"The Leader has joined the call."

I thought of the BestShow and smiled to myself...

This is a 7SD reference rather than a Best Show reference, but I realized today when I finally finished 7 and a half hours of even more painful than usual test papers, it was not the first time that I had thrown down my red pen and loudly pronounced "DONE AND DONE".

I just finished work on a legal note, which I hope to have published, about Ticketmaster and Clear Channel, and their monopolies on the ticketing and promotion industries, and how they get away with charging inflated service charges.
It's called Define "Convenience".
If it does get published, I'll thank S&W in my little biog.

I just found out that my article will indeed get published, which is very exciting.
The many of you that subscribe to the Florida Entertainment Law Review can look forward to it in August.

I've been telling people they should go shopping for a coffin for about a week now. Yeah, I've lost some friends.
He was natural police. And I don't say that about many people, even when they're here on the felt. I don't say that often unless it happens to be true. Nat'ral po-lice. But Christ, what an asshole.

Congrats, Samir!  This will make my monthly Florida Entertainment Law Review new issue party that much sweeter.

I just did one of those 24-Hour Plays.  They're usually charity affairs to benefit something educational.  It's stunt-art, generally unwatchable, but people come out for it because there are usually celebrities involved.  Anyway, I wrote a dumb 10-minute play based on Tom's Staten Island character (Hylan Boulevard guy) and I'm thinking of posting it in the art contest thread.  Except I probably won't, because I'm vain and I don't want the only example you all know of my work to be something dumb I wrote between midnight and 3 AM.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

I've been using an indignant "Good day sir" every now and then. 7sd wise I helped popularize "For the love of crack" in my workplace. Odd to hear a bunch of social workers using that one.

My boss went into labor today and I'll be filling in for her the next few weeks.  I just relocated a meeting and wrote "New regime" in the email.

Your workplace sounds like a lot more fun than mine.

now that you mention it jed, we/they are surprisingly mellow for an office space (in the medical field!).

I've also used "New Regime" in response to a co-worker assuming a new job in my department. She seemed to appreciate the respect this suggested.
