The Christmas Party
Company Memo FROM: Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director TO: All Employees DATE: December 1, 2009 RE: Gala Christmas Party I’m happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place on December 23rd, starting at noon in the private function room at the Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks! We’ll have a small band playing traditional carols… feel free to sing along. And don’t be surprised if our CEO shows up dressed as Santa Claus! A Christmas tree will be lit at 1:00 PM. Exchanges of gifts among employees can be done at that time; however, no gift should be over $10.00 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone’s pockets. This gathering is only for employees! Our CEO will make a special announcement at that time! Merry Christmas to you and your family, Patty ************************************************************************************************************* Company Memo FROM: Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director TO: All Employees DATE: December 4, 2009 RE: Gala Holiday Party In no way was yesterday’s memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees. We recognize that Hanukkah is an important holiday, which often coincides with Christmas, though unfortunately not this year. However, from now on, we’re calling it our ” Holiday Party.” The same policy applies to any other employees who are not Christians and to those still celebrating Reconciliation Day. There will be no Christmas tree and no Christmas carols will be sung. We will have other types of music for your enjoyment. Happy now? Happy Holidays to you and your family, Patty ************************************************************************************************************* Company Memo FROM: Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director TO: All Employees DATE: December 9, 2009 RE: Holiday Party Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table, you didn’t sign your name. I’m happy to accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that reads, “AA Only”, you wouldn’t be anonymous anymore. How am I supposed to handle this? Somebody? And sorry, but forget about the gift exchange, no gifts are allowed since the union members feel that $10.00 is too much money and the executives believe $10.00 is a little chintzy. REMEMBER: NO GIFT EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED. ************************************************************************************************************* Company Memo FROM: Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director To: All Employees DATE: December 12, 2009 RE: Generic Holiday Party What a diverse group we are! I had no idea that December 20th begins the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinking during daylight hours. There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees’ beliefs. Perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving your meal until the end of the party or else package everything for you to take it home in little foil doggy baggy. Will that work? Meanwhile, I’ve arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest from the dessert buffet, and pregnant women will get the table closest to the restrooms. Gays are allowed to sit with each other. Lesbians do not have to sit with Gay men, each group will have their own table. Yes, there will be flower arrangement for the Gay men’s table. To the person asking permission to cross dress, the Grill House asks that no cross-dressing be allowed, apparently because of concerns about confusion in the restrooms. Sorry. We will have booster seats for short people. Low-fat food will be available for those on a diet. I am sorry to report that we cannot control the amount of salt used in the food. The Grill House suggests that people with high blood pressure taste a bite first. There will be fresh “low sugar” fruits as dessert for diabetics, but the restaurant cannot supply “no sugar” desserts. Sorry! Did I miss anything?!?!? Patty ************************************************************************************************************* Company Memo FROM: Patty Lewis, Human Resources Director TO: All F*%^ing Employees DATE: December 13, 2009 RE: The F*%^ing Holiday Party I’ve had it with you vegetarian pricks!!! We’re going to keep this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit quietly at the table furthest from the “grill of death,” as you so quaintly put it, and you’ll get your f*%^ing salad bar, including organic tomatoes. But you know, tomatoes have feelings, too. They scream when you slice them. I’ve heard them scream. I’m hearing them scream right NOW! The rest of you f*%^ing wierdos can kiss my *ss. I hope you all have a rotten holiday! Drive drunk and die!!, The B*tch from H*ll!!! ************************************************************************************************************* Company Memo FROM: Joan Bishop, Acting Human Resources Director DATE: December 14, 2009 RE: Patty Lewis and Holiday Party I’m sure I speak for all of us in wishing Patty Lewis a speedy recovery and I’ll continue to forward your cards to her. In the meantime, management has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and give everyone the afternoon of the 23rd off with full pay. Happy Holidays! Joan
I’ve known about Animal Style at In N Out Burgers but there is so much more, thanks tiburon-belvedere.com
In-N-Out Burger has a secret unpublished menu for insiders who are in-the-know. Next time you’re at In-N-Out (i.e. tomorrow . . . or maybe tonight), order a bag of these off-the-menu specials:
“3-by-3″ = three meat patties and three slices of cheese.
“4-by-4″ = four meat patties and four slices of cheese.
“2-by-4″ = two meat patties and four slices of cheese.
*Note: You may get a burger with the exact number of meat patties or cheese slices you want (up to 4×4). Just tell the In-N-Out Burger cashier how many meat patties and how much cheese you want and that is what you’ll get! For instance, if you want 4 pieces of meat and 3 pieces of cheese tell them you want a “4-by-3.”
“Double Meat” = like a Double Double without cheese.
“3 by Meat” = three meat patties and no cheese.
“Animal Style” = the meat is cooked and fried with mustard and then pickles are added, extra spread and grilled onions are added.
“Animal Style Fries” = fries with cheese, spread, grilled onions and pickles (if you ask for them).
“Protein Style” = for all you low-carbohydrate dieters, this is a burger with no bun (wrapped in lettuce).
“Flying Dutchman” = two meat patties, two slices of melted cheese and nothing else – not even a bun!
Fries “Well-Done” = extra crispy fries . . . even better than the regular!
Fries “Light” = opposite of fries well-done, more raw than most people like ‘em
“Grilled Cheese” = no meat, just melted cheese, tomato, lettuce and spread on a bun.
“Veggie Burger” = burger without the patty or cheese. Sometimes we call this the “Wish Burger.”
“Neapolitan” Shake = strawberry, vanilla and chocolate mixed together.
The friendly employees of In-N-Out Burger will take your special order without question, if you use the right terminology. The printed receipt will have your special request typed on it just as we said it.
Try it! Your friends will be amazed.
It’s gone through a name change (previously titled Love Supreme) and it’s been nearly nine years since its predecessor (Lovers Rock) dropped, but Sade’s new album will drop worldwide Feb. 8, 2010. And, like her two previous albums, Soldiers of Love continues the tradition of extended gaps of time between releases. This will be the sixth record from the soulful 50-year-old songstress and her three band members. They released their debut, Diamond Life, in 1985. [Media Assassin]

When Real America Speaks
I watch the news less and less these days, with the exception of Public Broadcasting, most cable network news is all spin this includes MSNBC, Fox is not even an after thought. For the sake of ratings they are willing to have the most assinign discussion this side of reality TV The latest is that Parent are Concern about Obama speech to Children Cuting to the quick, lets be clear the only parents concern about this speech are a minority, because the majority, especially people of color, the idea of their child seeing a president that looks like them encouraging them to study is a God send
more about “Obama Speaks to school children“, posted with vodpod
What is sad is that this small and small minded group has gotten so much attention, what should be highlighted is that these parents are doing themselves and thier children a major diservice, this country is changing and children will have to compete on a multitude of levels
And you know who else is watching? the rest of the world
