Sounds like the hospital wants me back. The guy that hired me way back when left a voice mail today to the effect that they want to offer me my old job back. I'm calling him tomorrow.


That's good news, T.

You'll probably have to organize it all over again after whatever incompetent took over for you blew it out of the water.




Well, his exact words were "we've got problems and we need some tasks completed"...

Good news about the job. I assume you meant to discuss *remuneration* with your prospective new / old employer?

I consider myself at least a little fluent in English, but I must admit I have absolutely no clue what "remuneration" is. I can guess given the context, but could somebody please enlighten me?

Edited - spelling of "remuneration"

That's cause most people would use "compensation" or "salary".

Oh Goodie... Now AE is made for JFB's. The other day it was made for AFB's.

I'm going to take a few days off from this place. I'm SICK of these sniveling, whining, worthless, scum-sucking, miserable, feeble-minded, cack-brained WANKERS!

See you later, Gang.


Why don't you go get a job, or something!

Don't feel too badly about it. I mispronounced, misprinted and misspelled the word consistently until I was about 30 or so. And I'm supposedly a native speaker.

He was all out of the Drouhin – oh, depression. But then he went out back and came out with a bottle of some stuff he said would drink really good. It was a bit young so I took it home, decanted, and let it sit for a couple hours and had a taste. Hoot!! Pazooties!! Stuff drinks like a Drouhin ’86, and it’s only $35.00 a bottle!! OMG! Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune better watch their keesters.

Ok. It’s Californian; label is Arcadian, 2006, Sleepy Hollow Vineyard, from Santa Lucia Highlands. Taste per buck is rated at 9.6 Woofs.

Was impressed, really impressed. It’s a teensy, weensie, weensie, weensie, bit thiner than a Grand Cru Classe, but for $35 a bottle vs $350??!!!

Definitely check it out if you get the chance.
