So true to what is going on today with all of us. Lincoln sounds like a very interesting character to me! <br /><br />Funny thing at work??? Too many to count but probably the funniest lately is when my teacher friend meant to IM me about her "yahooligans coming to the library" but instead IM an Elementary principal!!!!!!!!!Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600979915661464945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-19210872391139272522012-03-27T10:32:08.871-05:002012-03-27T10:32:08.871-05:00“Lincoln is a man,” I told myself. “Not a unicorn....“Lincoln is a man,” I told myself. “Not a unicorn. You can do this.” This line totally cracked me up! I have heard a lot of good things about this book, and need to grab it and see what I think. It sounds like Rowell did an amazing job with both the female and the male characters.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-69808120867624074072012-03-27T10:30:19.565-05:002012-03-27T10:30:19.565-05:00Something that was really funny to everyone else, ...Something that was really funny to everyone else, but not to me:<br /><br />There was this one director at work who NEVER answered his emails and NEVER followed through on anything that came his way. My boss asked me to give her an update this one particular situation and I did, by email. Five seconds later, I received hundreds of vacation auto-replies and dozens of emails from folks telling me that I sent the email to the wrong person. <br /><br />What??<br /><br />When I went back to check, auto-fill added a campus-wide email list to the "To" field. EVERYONE on campus got my take on this guy. Including, the guy!<br /><br />What was funny, is that every reply indicated that they felt the same way about him. He didn't find it all that amusing. <br /><br />And yes, I still have access to all of those campus-wide email lists.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-86411670727712914682012-03-27T10:14:39.972-05:002012-03-27T10:14:39.972-05:00I just realized this is a giveaway, too! Thank you...I just realized this is a giveaway, too! Thank you! It's been a long tim since I worked but I still have a few good stories.<br /><br />When I was a prosecutor, several dys a week I had to appear before a judge in court and present cases, many of which we tried to dispose of with please.<br />At one point, I was in a department where my supervisor was the wife of a judge. I didn't know this at the time mostly because I didn't normally appear before this judge. But one day he was the judge on one of my cases. My supervisor didn't want the case to be pleaded out. This really ticked off the judge. When he discovered it was my supervisor's order he said some very unkind things about her, not knowing my supervisor was his wife. Then he told me to get my supervisor to come to court. Well, you should have seen his face when his wife walked up to my table in the courtroom! And my supervisor looked pretty surprised herself...we weren't in the judges usual courtroom and so she hadn't realized her husband was the judge! Of course he recused himself from the case but not before they started arguing (Oy!) and then moved to his chambers and out of earshot of everyone in the courtroom!<br />Thank goodness she laughed about it later on back in our office!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-27030522317940230962012-03-27T10:06:05.241-05:002012-03-27T10:06:05.241-05:00This book has been on my wishlist since your revie...This book has been on my wishlist since your review.
